How would you set up this problem to find the height of the sail using reciprocal functions?

Remark

I'm not sure I know what you mean, but I will answer trying to interpret it so it fits the description of the question.

Step One: Set up the equation. The normal way of solving this would be to use the Cos function.

Cos(theta) = Adjacent / hypotenuse = x/8 Multiply both sides by 8

8*cos(theta) = x Theta = 35

8*cos(35) = x This is about as simple a way as is possible.

6.553 = the height of the sale.

Step Three: try using the reciprocal

1 / cos(35)= hypotenuse / adjacent

1/0.8191 = 8/x cross multiply

x = 0.8191 * 8

x = 6.553

An engineering student is studying the effects of cryogenic treatments on a particular material. The treatment involves cooling
kvv77 [185]

The true statement about the graph from the attached image below is: The material's temperature reaches a minimum at 15 hours.

<h3>What is the parabolic graph of the quadratic equation?</h3>

The parabolic graph is a curved U-shaped graph that is established from a quadratic equation.

The parabola of the graph can be downward creating a maximum or upward (minimum).

From the given image, the correct interpretation shows that as a result of cryogenic treatment, the material's temperature reaches a minimum at 15 hours.

-6×-15=4×+35 i need help with this problem​
Burka [1]
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

-6x-15+15=4x+35+15

-6x=4x+50
(Subtract 4 on both sides)

-10x=50
(Divide by 10 on both sides)

x=5
