Answer:

21 feet (20.977)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw a picture, it makes it much easier. Draw a right triangle with the vertical labeled 25 and the horizontal labeled X, then label the angle adjacent to the horizontal and hypotenuse 40°

2. Use tangent because X is opposite of 40 and 25 is adjacent to angle 40. the equation would be Tan40/1 = X/25

3. You then cross multiply to get 25Tan(40) = X

4 You then plug it into a calculator and get the full answer of 20.97749078, but I always round up to either 20.98 or 21 feet, whatever your teacher allows

What is the distance ?
Gwar [14]

Distance between 2 points formula: √(x2 − x1)² + (y2 − y1)²

= √(7 - (-3))² + (-1 - 5)²

= √10² + -6²

= √100 + 36

= √136

≈ 11.662 (Note that this number is rounded because its a a non-terminating decimal).

Best of Luck!

Answer:

=26x^3−12x^2+5x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^3−3x+11−(3x^2+1)(4−8x)

Distribute:

=2x^3+−3x+11+24x^3+−12x^2+8x+−4

Combine Like Terms:

=2x^3+−3x+11+24x^3+−12x2+8x+−4

=(2x^3+24x^3)+(−12x^2)+(−3x+8x)+(11+−4)

=26x^3+−12x^2+5x+7
