Hey there!

First, let the unknown number mentioned be represented by the variable "x".

Now, since 69 is being decreased by a number identified as "twice" a number (x), you know that some number is being subtracted from 69. In addition, the number is twice an unknown value, x.

This would be represented by the algebraic expression:

69 - 2x

Hope this helps!

A bird (B) is spotted flying 6,000 feet from a tower (T)). An observer (O) spots the top of the tower (T) at a distance of 9,000

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The angle will be "48.7°".

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔTBO, the given values are:

TB = 6,000 feet

BO = 9,000 feet

Now,

To find the angle,

⇒ $Cos \ B =\frac{TB}{BO}$

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $Cos \ x=\frac{6000}{9000}$

⇒ $Cos \ x=0.66$

⇒ $x=Cos^{-1} \ 0.66$

⇒ $x=48.7^{\circ}$

4x^2-21x-18=0 Find the discriminate

SpyIntel [72]

a = 4, b = -21, c = -18

to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...

b2 - 4ac = (-21)2 - 4(4)(-18) = 729

sqrt(729) = 27

x = (21 +/- 27)/8

x = -3/4, x = 6

since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...

4x2 - 21x - 18 = 0

(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0

x = -3/4, x = 6
