In the xy-plane, the line x + y=k, where k is a constant, is tangent to the graph of y=x^2+3x+1. What is the value of k?

Mathematics

Slope of tangent line = dy/dx = 2x+3
k is y_intercept of tangent line

2x+3 = -1
x = -2
y = (-2)^2+3(-2)+1 = -1

tangent line passes through point (-2,-1)

k = x+y

k = -2 -1

k = -3

In a pair of complementary angles, the larger angle is six more than three times the smaller angle. the measures of the angles a
harina [27]
2 angles are Complementary, if the sum of their measures = 90°.

Let the 2 angles be A and B, and let their measures be m(A)=a, m(B)=b.

Let A be the larger angle.



"the larger angle is six more than three times the smaller angle."

can be 'translated' into algebra as:   a = 6 + 3b

Also, since A and B are complementary, we have a+b=90°.


substitute a=6+3b in the second equation:

a+b=90°

(6°+3b+b)=90°


4b=90°-6°

b=84°/4=21°



Then, a = 90°-21°=69°


Answer: a= 69°, b=21°

A cellular telephone tower that is 150 feet tall is placed on top of a mountain that is 1200 feet above sea level. What is the a
sveta [45]

Answer:

angle of depression = 2.1⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mile = 5280 ft

Hence angle of depression = 90 - ∅

Where ∅ is angle of depression

Tan ∅ = (5 x 5280)/ 950

∅ = Tan₋¹ (27.789474) = 87.9⁰

Hence angle of depression = 90 - 87.9 = 2.1⁰
