Answer: she is 35.3 feet from the tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming her line of sight to the top of the tree is a straight line, then a right angle triangle is formed. The height of the tree, h represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. Her distance, h from the tree represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle. To determine h, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 27 = 18/h

h = 18/tan27 = 18/0.51

h = 35.3 feet

Give the excluded values for the rational equation.<br><br> (3x)/(x-4)-(x+3)/(x+4)=(2x+7)/(x^(2)-16)
scoray [572]

\frac{3x}{x-4}  - \frac{x+3}{x-4} = \frac{2x+7}{x^2-16}

We factor the denominators

Factor x^2 - 16

x^2 - 4^2

We use a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

so x^2 - 4^2 = (x+4)(x-4)

Replace it in the given equation

\frac{3x}{x-4}  - \frac{x+3}{x-4} = \frac{2x+7}{(x+4)(x-4)}

Excluded values are the values that makes the denominator 0

we have (x-4)  and (x+4) in the denominator

We set the denominator =0 and solve for x

x-4 =0

Add 4 on both sides

x= 4

x+4=0

subtract 4 onboth side

so x= -4

Excluded values are x=-4 and x=4

Can anybody help me with this?<br> Algebra 1
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

7. f(x) = mx + b; b acts as the vertical shift moving the graph up if b is positive and down if b is negative.

f(x) = x-2 has shifted the graph of f(x) down 2 units.

g(x) = x + 7 has shifted the graph up 7 units.

If f(x) is changed to g(x) the vertical shift has gone from -2 to + 7 or (7-(-2) = 9 units up

8. f(x) = mx stretches the graph by a factor of m if m > 0 and compresses the graph by a factor of m if 0<m<1

f(x) = 3x stretches the graph by a factor of 3.

g(x) = 1/4x compresses the graph by a factor of 1/4
