The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are  21° 19' and 16°20'.

1) Convert the angles to decimal form:

19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°

20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°

2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.

You can form a triangle with

- horizontal leg  x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h

=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)

You can form a second triangle with:

-  horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
 
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x  => h = x * tan(21.32)

Now equal the two expressions for h:

(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)

=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet

=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.

Answer: 76.39 feet

Find the values of x for which the denominator is equal to zero for y=3x+5/x-6.

x = −5

x = 6

<h2>x = −6</h2>

therefore the answer is

<h2>x = −6</h2>

A group of twelve friends went bowling. The regular price was $8.00. The bowling alley offered a discount price of $6.00 to coll
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

x = friends that paid discount price = 8

y = friends that paid regular price = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = friends that paid discount price

y = friends that paid regular price

x + y = 12 (1)

6x + 8y = 80 (2)

From (1)

x = 12 - y

Substitute x = 12 - y into (2)

6x + 8y = 80 (2)

6(12 - y) + 8y = 80

72 - 6y + 8y = 80

- 6y + 8y = 80 - 72

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into (1)

x + y = 12 (1)

x + 4 = 12

x = 12 - 4

x = 8

x = friends that paid discount price = 8

y = friends that paid regular price = 4
