If a kite is 40 feet off the ground and the string holding the kite is 42 feet long, what is the angle of elevation to the kite

In this case, 40ft is the vertical distance from the ground, which is the height. This means that the kite and the string form an angle with the horizontal ground. A right angled triangle is formed. Use the inverse of sine to get the angle.

One leg of a right triangle has a length of 5m. The other sides have lengths that are consecutive integers. Find these lengths.
pickupchik [31]

The lengths of the other two sides of the right triangle are 12 and 13

<h3>Pythagorean theorem </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the lengths of the other sides of the triangle

From the given information,

The other sides have lengths that are consecutive integers

Thus,

If the length of the other side is x

Then,

The hypotenuse will be x + 1

By the <em>Pythagorean theorem</em>, we can write that

(x+1)² = x² + 5²

(x+1)(x+1) = x² + 25

x² + x + x + 1 = x² + 25

x² - x² + x + x = 25 - 1

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

∴ The other leg of the right triangle is 12

Hypotenuse = x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

Hence, the lengths of the other two sides are 12 and 13

If p(x) = 2x2 – 4x and q(x) = x – 3, what is mc007-1.jpg? 2x2 – 4x + 12 2x2 – 16x + 18 2x2 – 16x + 30 2x2 – 16x + 15
Rainbow [258]
P(x) = 2x² - 4xq(x) = x - 3
To find the answer, we plug q(x) into p(x):
p(q(x)) = 2(x - 3)² - 4(x - 3)p(q(x)) = 2(x² - 6x + 9) - 4x + 12p(q(x)) = 2x² - 12x + 18 - 4x + 12p(q(x)) = 2x² - 16x + 30
The third option is correct.

mr_godi [17]

<em>c. the least squares method. </em>

Regression equation:

In simple linear regression, the predicted value of the dependent variable is given by the equation = b0 + b1x. The values of b0 and b1 are calculated from the data so that the line = b0 + b1X minimizes the total sum of squared errors (error is the difference between the predicted value and the actual value of y).

Least squares method:

The least squares method is a statistical procedure to find the best fit for a set of data points by minimizing the sum of the offsets or residuals of points from the plotted curve.
