The problem is modelled as right angle triangle, shown in the diagram below

The distance between the pilot and the house is labelled as x

Using the trigonometry ratio of sine
sin(31)= \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
sin(31)= \frac{2010}{x}
x= \frac{2101}{sin(31)} = 4079.3 ft

Factor completely. 2x^4+4x^3-30x^2
kramer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x⁴ + 4x³ - 30x² = 2x²*(x² + 2x - 15)

x² + 2x - 15

Sum = 2

Product = -15

Factors = 5 ; (-3)

x² + 2x - 15 = x² + 5x - 3x - 3 *5

                  = x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5)

                  = (x + 5)(x - 3)

2x⁴ + 4x³ - 30x² = (2x²) (x + 5)(x - 3)
