Answer:

  35°

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between trig functions and sides of a right triangle. The pole and its shadow form the legs of the right triangle with the side adjacent to the angle of elevation being the shadow. "TOA" tells you ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(elevation angle) = (pole height)/(shadow length)

  tan(elevation angle) = 35/50 = 0.7

The inverse tangent function, arctan( ) or tan⁻¹( ), is used to find the angle from the value of its tangent.

  elevation angle = arctan(0.7) ≈ 34.99° ≈ 35°

You did the correct thing and now you need to simplify the question. The answer would be -1. 0 squared is 0 and 4 times 0 is 0. That would leave you with -1.

A quadrilateral has the following vertices on a coordinate plane:
dolphi86 [110]
<h3>Answer:  4</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

We'll only focus on points J and K.

J = (3, -6)

K = (-1, -6)

Because these two points have the same y coordinate (which is -6), this means we can ignore those values and subtract the x coordinates

3 minus (-1) = 3 - (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4

Or we could plot points J and K on the same xy grid system, and count out the number of spaces between J and K. You should count out 4 spaces.

This means segment JK is 4 units long.

Find the solutions of the system y = –2x – 1 and y = 3–x–1.
sweet [91]

There are two intersection points (-1, 1) and (-2, 3), and the x coordinates are -1 and -2.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent y = a^x

where a is a constant and a>1

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.

We have two equations:

y = –2x – 1 and

\rm y = 3^{-x-1}

From the graph, we can see:

There are two intersection points:

(-1, 1) and (-2, 3)

The x coordinates are -1 and -2

x = -1, y = 1

x = -2, y = 3

Thus, there are two intersection points (-1, 1) and (-2, 3), and the x coordinates are -1 and -2.
