Step-by-step explanation:
Sorry if I am wrong
it is kinda confusing
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
given a point 
the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the given point is
or equivalently
.
Recall that a line of the form 
, the y intercept is b and the x intercept is 
.
So, in our case, the y intercept is 
and the x intercept is 
.
In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph 
. Which means that 
The slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative of the function evaluated at 
. Using the properties of derivatives, we get
. So evaluated at we get 
Replacing the values in our previous findings we get that the y intercept is
The x intercept is
The triangle in consideration has height 
and base 
. So the area is
So regardless of the point we take on the graph, the area of the triangle is always 2.
The answer is 2. I hope this helped.
Hello!
As you can see, 22 is the opposite angle. We are looking for the adjacent angle. Let's just call it x. Using SOH CAH TOA, we see that the tangent is the opposite divided by the adjacent side. Let's use that.
tan54≈1.38
This gives us the equation below.
1.38=22/x
Let's solve this equation for x.
1.38x=22
x=22/1.38
x=15.94
Therefore, the length of the shadow is about 15.94 meters.
I hope this helps!
