Is there such a thing as 0x, there's 5x, 6x, 19x, x etc., but 0x... just sound weird to me.

Answer:

We write 0 in place of 0x.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we multiply any number, any variable, any expression, any equation with zero the result is always zero.
$0\times x = 0$
So, when we multiply 0 by x and write it as 0x, it makes no sense because ultimately the answer is zero.
So, usually in practice we do not use such thing as 0x.
We directly write zero(0), in place for 0x.
So, 0x is not used in general practice, where as we can use the term 5x, 4x, 3x, 2x and so on.
There is no such thing as 0x.

Zero × anything is zero, so no... you'll never see 0x. If for some reason you do, just rewrite the equation without it... because it's zero. :)

Peter left city a at 9:00 am towards city b at an average speed of 50 mph. Thirty minutes later Emily also leaves city a towards

Archy [21]

Answer:

62.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Peter :

Speed = 50mph

Start Time = 9 a. M

Emily :

Start time = 9:30

Speed = x

In other to catch up at 11:30 :

Peter (11:30 - 9:00) = 2hours 30 minutes = 2.5 hrs

Total distance moved by Peter :

Speed * time = 50 * 2.5 = 125miles

For Emily to cover 125 miles in (11:30 - 9:30) = 2 hours

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 125 miles / 2 hours

Speed = 62.5 miles per hour

The angle of elevation from me to the top of a hill is 51 degrees. The angle of elevation from me to the top of a tree is 57 deg

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Approximately $101\; \rm ft$ (assuming that the height of the base of the hill is the same as that of the observer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached.

Let $\rm O$ denote the observer.
Let $\rm A$ denote the top of the tree.
Let $\rm R$ denote the base of the tree.
Let $\rm B$ denote the point where line $\rm AR$ (a vertical line) and the horizontal line going through $\rm O$ meets. $\angle \rm B\hat{A}R = 90^\circ$ .

Angles:

Angle of elevation of the base of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
Angle of elevation of the top of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

Let the length of segment $\rm BR$ (vertical distance between the base of the tree and the base of the hill) be $x\; \rm ft$ .

The question is asking for the length of segment $\rm AB$ . Notice that the length of this segment is $\mathrm{AB} = (x + 20)\; \rm ft$ .

The length of segment $\rm OB$ could be represented in two ways:

In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

For example, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ , the length of the side opposite to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ is segment $\rm BR$ . The length of that segment is $x\; \rm ft$ .

$\begin{aligned}\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)} = \frac{\,\rm {BR}\,}{\,\rm {OB}\,} \; \genfrac{}{}{0em}{}{\leftarrow \text{opposite}}{\leftarrow \text{adjacent}}\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to find an expression for the length of $\rm OB$ (in $\rm ft$ ) in terms of $x$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{BR}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x}{\tan\left(51^\circ\right)}\approx 0.810\, x\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}A}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x + 20}{\tan\left(57^\circ\right)}\approx 0.649\, (x + 20)\end{aligned}$ .

Equate the right-hand side of these two equations:

$0.810\, x \approx 0.649\, (x + 20)$ .

Solve for $x$ :

$x \approx 81\; \rm ft$ .

Hence, the height of the top of this tree relative to the base of the hill would be $(x + 20)\; {\rm ft}\approx 101\; \rm ft$ .
