<u>Answer</u>


1.6 miles


<u>Explanation.</u>

Am trying to interpret this question and am finding that you want to find the vertical change in elevation which you are calling S.

Hoping my interpretation is correct, this is how you solve it.


You are going to use the trigonometric ratio, tangent.

TanФ = opposite/adjacent


tan 15° = S/6


S = 6×tan15°

= 6 × 0.267949192

= 1.607695155


Answer

S = 1.6 miles

<h3>Answer:  x = 45</h3>

Work Shown:

x+x+90 = 180 .... all three angles of a triangle add to 180

2x+90 = 180

2x = 180-90

2x = 90

x = 90/2

x = 45

This is a 45-45-90 right triangle. We also consider it an isosceles right triangle because the base angles (45) are equal.

Use Inverse Operations to solve.Check Your Answer<br><br> 17 + k = 54
lesya [120]
When you do the inverse operation which in this case would be subtraction you do  54-17 and then you do 17 minus 17 which leaves you with the variable 54-17=34 so k=34

The complement of an angle is three times the measurement of the angle. Find the measurement of the larger angle.
olganol [36]
We know that two complements add up to 90.
Let's call the smaller angle x and the larger y.
3x = y
x + y = 90
We can use simple substitution.
x + 3x = 90
4x = 90
x = 22.5

Then, since we know that 3x=y, we can find the larger angle.
3*22.5 = 67.5

Determine the values of the constants b and c so that the function given below is differentiable. f(x)={2xbx2+cxx≤1x&gt;1
Lera25 [3.4K]
Assuming the function is

f(x)=\begin{cases}2x&\text{for }x\le1\\bx^2+cx&\text{for }x>1\end{cases}

For f(x) to be differentiable, it necessarily has to be continuous. For this condition to be met, we need

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1^+}f(x)=f(1)
\iff\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}2x=\lim_{x\to1}(bx^2+cx)
\iff2=b+c

For the derivative to exist, the one-sided limits of the derivative must also exist and be equal. We have

f'(x)=\begin{cases}2&\text{for }x1\end{cases}

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^-}2=\lim_{x\to1^+}(2bx+c)
\iff2=2b+c

Now we solve for b and c:

\begin{cases}b+c=2\\2b+c=2\end{cases}\implies b=0,c=2
