Answer:

18.7 feet far

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given we can conclude that our set up will be a Right triangle (i.e. one angle is 90°), where the hypotenuse will be denoted by the guy wire of 20ft  and angle of 21° is the angle formed between then hypotenuse and the base (i.e. ground).

Thus we want to find the base length (lets call it x ) of this triangle, so we can use trigonometry as we have one angle and the hypotenuse, as follow:

cos(21)=\frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse}=\frac{baselength}{guywire}\\\\ cos(21)=\frac{x}{20} \\x=20cos(21)\\x=18.671\\x=18.7ft

So the base is approximately 18.7 feet far from the tree of the anchored wire.

What are “like terms”? Why can we only add like terms?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Like terms are terms whose variables are the same.

We can only add them because if they does not have the same variable you do not actually know if the variables are equivalent and you will get the wrong answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ex: 4z,7z,108z,45z

Ex: 4w-2h+7a-2w

You can not add 4w and 7a because you do not know what the variables equal so you do not know the true number so add or subtract by.

What substitution should be used to rewrite 16(x3 + 1)2 – 22(x3 + 1) – 3 = 0 as a quadratic equation?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

  z = x^3 +1

Step-by-step explanation:

Noting the squared term, it makes sense to substitute for that term:

  z = x^3 +1

gives ...

  16z^2 -22z -3 = 0 . . . . the quadratic you want

_____

<em>Solutions derived from that substitution</em>

Factoring gives ...

  16z^2 -24z +2z -3 = 0

  8z(2z -3) +1(2z -3) = 0

  (8z +1)(2z -3) = 0

  z = -1/8  or  3/2

Then we can find x:

  x^3 +1 = -1/8

  x^3 = -9/8 . . . . . subtract 1

  x = (-1/2)∛9 . . . . . one of the real solutions

__

  x^3 +1 = 3/2

  x^3 = 1/2 = 4/8 . . . . . . subtract 1

  x = (1/2)∛4 . . . . . . the other real solution

The complex solutions will be the two complex cube roots of -9/8 and the two complex cube roots of 1/2.
