1.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

In ΔOPQ,

∠Q=90°,

PO = 17, QP = 8 OQ = 15

Step 2:

We know that the hypotenuse will be the largest side of a triangle.

So in the given triangle PO = 17 is the hypotenuse.

With respect to angle P, OQ represents the opposite side of angle P and PQ will be the adjacent side.

Also the tangent of any angle in a triangle can be determined by dividing the opposite side of the angle by the adjacent side.

Step 3 :

So using the above we have,

tangent of angle P = opposite side /adjacent side = 15/8 = 1.875

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

$\left\{\begin{matrix}39 & x\leq 200\\ 39+(x-200)\times 0.35 & x>200\end{matrix}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Ben has a cell phone plan that provides 200 free minutes each month for a flat rate of $39.

We are also told that For any minutes over 200, Ben is charged $0.35 per minute.

let x be the minutes used each month

So, if $x\leq 200$

So, coat will be $39

If $x>200$

So, Ben is charged $0.35 per minute

So, when $x>200$

So, charge = $39+(x-200)\times 0.35$

So, the piecewise functions accurately represents charges based on Ben's cell phone :

$\left\{\begin{matrix}39 & x\leq 200\\ 39+(x-200)\times 0.35 & x>200\end{matrix}\right.$

This year the fifth grade collected 216 fewer plastic containers than the fourth grade.How many plastic containers did the fifth

kap26 [50]

Let number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= x

Then number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade students=x-216

If number of plastic container collected by fifth grade is y

then number of plastic container collected by fourth grade=y+216

So, we can write it as follows

⇒ number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade +216
