Help me find y.......

Mathematics
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

  y ≈ 240.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relation between an angle and the sides adjacent and opposite is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

In this triangle, the interior angle at lower right is the same as the one marked at upper left: 31°. y is the side opposite that angle, and 400 ft is the side adjacent. Then the relation is ...

  tan(31°) = y/(400 ft)

Multiplying by 400 ft gives ...

  y = (400 ft)·tan(31°) ≈ 240.3 ft

_____

The triangle interior angle at lower right and the angle marked 31° are "alternate interior angles" relative to the transversal marked x and the (parallel) horizontal lines in the figure. Alternate interior angles always have the same measure.

In geometry problems like this one, it means the angle of elevation (above the horizontal) is equal to the angle of depression (below the horizontal).

Solve the system of equations by substitution. What is the solution for x?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

x=0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

2×+y=1

y=0.5

4×+2y=-1

4×+2.5=-1

1+2.5=4x

3.5=4x

x=0.875

F(x)=1256(1.24)^x Identify the initial value.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

1256

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function F(x)=1256(1.24)^x, the initial value occurs at x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into the function;

F(0)=1256(1.24)^0

f(0) = 1256(1) (any value raise to sero is 1)

f(0) = 1256

hence the initial value is 1256

Lou wants to make a coffee mixture to sell. He is going to mix Sumatra coffee which costs $2.50 per pound with Columbian coffee
Scilla [17]
To answer this question you need to create 2 equations:
S+C=50
2.50S+3.75C=3.35*(50) 
S=50-C -so now you can plug in S into the second equation
2.50*(50-C)+3.75C=167.5
Now you just need to solve this equation, the final answer will be 34 pounds of colombian coffee and 16 pounds of sumatra coffee

the axis of symmetry for a function in the form f(x)=x^2+4x-5 is x=-2. what are the coordinates of the vertex of the graph?
Alenkasestr [34]
Hello : 
<span>f(x)=x²+4x-5
</span><span>The axis of symmetry for a function in the form f(x)=x^2+4x-5 is x=-2 :
</span>f(x) = (x+2)² + b 
f(x) x²+4x+4+b=  x² +4x-5 
 4+b= -5 
b = -9
the vertex is : (2 , -9)
