Answer: The tall cliff is 118.20 feet tall and the short cliff is 70.32 feet tall.

If you draw a picture with 2 cliffs and a river in the middle, you have find 2 right triangles. In each triangle the adjacent side to our known angle is the river of 90 feet. And the unknown side is the opposite leg.

Therefore, we can set up a tangent equation.

From the top of the short cliff to the top of the tall cliff, we can right and solve the following trig equation:

tan(28) = x /90
x = 47.88

From the top of the short cliff to the bottom, we can right and solve the following trip equation.

tan(38) = x/90
x = 70.32

The 70.32 is also the height of the short cliff. And adding the two answers together will give you the height of the tall cliff.

Find the roots. 2x 2 + 7x - 15 =0
Reika [66]
So you always want to pull out the gcf first but since there isn't one, we can move on.
so we can make an acb chart which is multiplying the a value and the c value and find factors that of that product that will equal the b value.
a value is 2
c value is -15
b value is 7
-30 factors to equal 7 = 10, -3
10 - 3 = 7
so the factors 10 and -3 work. 
so now you make 2 separate parenthesis with one of the factors and one x. and it should be set equal to 0.
(x+10)(x-3) = 0
now solve for x in each separate parenthesis. 
x = -10 
x = 3
those r the roots
hope this helps

What is the distance between (-5, 5) and (1, -2)
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{85}\text{, or about 9.22 units}

Step-by-step explanation:

          We will use the distance formula to solve.

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2 +(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{(1--5)^2 +(-2-5)^2}

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{(6)^2 +(-7)^2}

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{36+49}

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{85}\text{, or about 9.22 units}

Which statement is true about the function
Lana71 [14]
You solve for the domain by setting the radicand less than or equal to 0 and solving for x.  Dividing by a -x, we switch the sign so we have that the domain is less than or equal to 0, or all negative numbers.  We know that it breaks every law in math to have a negative radicand with an even index, so if the domain is all negative values of x, taking a negative of a negative gives us a positive.  The negative sign OUTSIDE the radical means you are flipping the graph upside down.  So instead of having a range of y is greater than or equal to 0 as does the parent graph, you have flipped it upside down so it heads more negative in regards to the range.  Therefore, the domain and the range both have the same sign, thee last choice from above.
