<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

What is the multiplicative inverse of −3/5?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The multiplicative inverse is -5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplicative inverse means we want to end up with 1

-3/5 * what =1

Multiply by 5 to clear the fraction

-3/5 * what *5 = 1*5

-3 * what = 5

Divide by -3 to isolate what

-3*what /-3 = 5/-3

what = -5/3

The multiplicative inverse is -5/3

Solve the system of equations. <br><br> 10x+y=−20 <br><br> y=2x2−4x−16<br><br> ( , ) and ( , )
Sladkaya [172]
I will go about solving this using the elimination method.

First, convert the equations.

10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12

Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it!  (In this case, y)  We will subtract to get rid of y.

6x = -8

Third, you want to solve the equation.

6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x = -1 \frac{1}{3}

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.

10(-1 \frac{1}{3}) + y = -20
-13 \frac{1}{3} + y = -20 (subtract -13 \frac{1}{3})
y = -6 \frac{2}{3}

The solution for this system of equations is (-1 \frac{1}{3}, -6 \frac{2}{3}).
