You can either solve this with the Pythagorean theorem or the special triangles rule which can be applied to (degrees —>) 45/45/90 or 30/60/90 triangles.
With the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is used with the numbers accordingly- 5 and S are legs and can be either a or b while √50 being the hypotenuse can only be c
(5)^2 + (s)^2 =(√50)^2
25 + (s)^2 = 50
√ ((s)^2) = √ (50 - 25)
s = 5
The special Triangles rule actually states that a shortcut can be applied to the corresponding sides (look at picture). S is directly across from a 45 degree angle (and so is 5!)
If a = 5, than s must also = 5.

5
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use Tan(45)=S/5 to solve for S. Tan basically means Opposite/Adjacent. So the opposite side is S and the adjacent side is S. You plug tan(45) into your calc and then multiply it by 5.
Proportion Below
Tan(45)/1 = S/5
You cross multiply to get Tan(45)*5=S
S would be 5
To check you can use the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2
5^2+5^2=
25+25=50

Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the height of the rocket is given by the function:
We are asked to find the time for which the height of the rocket will be 350 ft. So, for that moment, we know the height but we don't know the time; however, we know that the equation can help us to find the time, doing h=350:
The last is a quadratic equation, which can be put in the form and solved applying the formula:
So, let's put the equation on the form adding
and subtracting
to each side of the equation; the result is:
So, we note that a=16, b=-200, and c=350.
Then,
According to the equation, that are the times for which the height will be 350 ft; that is because the rocket is going to ascend and then to fail again to the ground.
Answer:
D. (14x-4)/(8x^2) and (x^2-x)/(8x^2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The least common denominator will be 8x^2, the product of 2 and x to the highest of their powers in either of the denominators.
