Step-by-step answer:
The first step in solving a problem of geometry and trigonometry is to draw a diagram, with all the given information in it. The attached image does just that.
Here, we have (horizontal) distance of building to the tower is 400'.
We see two right triangles, each with a leg of 400' (horizontal).
The vertical distances are denoted h1 and h2 for the angles of elevation 24 and 20 degrees respectively.
Using the definition of tangent, we have
h1= 400tan24=178.1
h2=400tan20=145.6
The height of the tower is therefore h1+h2=178.1+145.6=323.7 feet
First put it in decreasing power according to x.
x^4-5x+8+x^2
=x^4+x^2-5x+8
Now this question is asking what is the highest degree of x you see in this function.
4 of course.
Therefore the answer to his question is degree of 4.
Done!
Answer:
t≈8.0927
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = -16t^2 + 128t +12
We want to find when h(t) is zero ( or when it hits the ground)
0 = -16t^2 + 128t +12
Completing the square
Subtract 12 from each side
-12 = -16t^2 + 128t
Divide each side by -16
-12/-16 = -16/-16t^2 + 128/-16t
3/4 = t^2 -8t
Take the coefficient of t and divide it by 8
-8/2 = -4
Then square it
(-4) ^2 = 16
Add 16 to each side
16+3/4 = t^2 -8t+16
64/4 + 3/4= (t-4)^2
67/4 = (t-4)^2
Take the square root of each side
±sqrt(67/4) =sqrt( (t-4)^2)
±1/2sqrt(67) = (t-4)
Add 4 to each side
4 ±1/2sqrt(67) = t
The approximate values for t are
t≈-0.092676
t≈8.0927
The first is before the rocket is launched so the only valid answer is the second one
