Answer:

219.9  feet to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use trigonometry:

tan 35 = opposite / adjacent side

= 154/x

x =  154 / tan35

= 219.93

Answer:

219.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

After looking at pic, cross multiply to get x tan(35)=154

then divide both sides by tan(35) giving x=154/tan(35)

x is approximately 219.9 ft

The difference of two trinomials is x2 − 10x + 2. If one of the trinomials is 3x2 − 11x − 4, then which expression could be the
12345 [234]

Answer:

4x^2-21x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Difference of two trinomials is x^2 - 10x + 2

One of the two trinomials is  3x^2 - 11x - 4

To find:

The other trinomial = ?

Four options are:

2x2 - x - 2 \\2x2 + x + 6 \\4x2 + 21x + 6\\ 4x2 - 21x - 2

Solution:

Let the two trinomials be A and B.

Given A - B = x^2 - 10x + 2

B = 3x^2 - 11x - 4

We have to find the other trinomial A.

A - B = x^2 - 10x + 2

A - (3x^2 - 11x - 4) = x^2 - 10x + 2

\Rightarrow A = x^2 - 10x + 2 + (3x^2 - 11x - 4)

\Rightarrow A = 4x^2-21x-2

So, the correct answer is 4x^2-21x-2.
