SOH CAH TOA -> \bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad \qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\\ \quad \\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}

so.. which of those fellows do we use?
well, the triangle gives us

the angle, 15 degrees, for elevation angle
the adjacent side, 50m
and we want the opposite side, the slide

so...who has only, the angle, opposite, and adjacent sides?
well, low and behold, is Ms tangent
thus
\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
\theta\to 15^o\\
adjacent=50\\
opposite=x-15
\end{cases}
\\ \quad \\
tan(15^o)=\cfrac{x-15}{50}\implies 50tan(15^o)=x-15\\\\ 50\cdot tan(15^o)+15=x

notice, "x" in the picture, is the distance from the ground up to the top of the waterslide, using that triangle, what we're getting is just the distance, from the shorter slide, to the taller one, or x - 15
thus, the opposite side is x -15

which of the following is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form for a line with slope = 1/2 and y intercept at (0,-4)?
oee [108]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2} x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = \frac{1}{2} and c = - 4 , then

y = \frac{1}{2} x - 4 ← equation of line

Is 14/950 more or less than 1/2 and why!
qwelly [4]
Well because 14 is nowhere near half of 950 (which is 475), 1/2 is bigger. I hope this helped.

(b) Let X(s) and Y(s) denote the Laplace transforms of x(t) and y(t), respectively. Find H(s) = Y(s)/X(s). Assume zero initial c
Schach [20]

Answer:

H(s)=(∫_(t=o)^∞▒〖x(t)e^(-st) dt〗)/(∫_(t=o)^∞▒〖y(t) e^(-st) dt〗)

Step-by-step explanation:

L{f(t)}=F(s)=∫_(t=0)^∞▒〖f(t)e^(-st) dt〗
