Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to remember the following:
Given the following expression:
You can notice that the radicand (the number inside the square root) is negative. Therefore, in order to simplify the expression, you need to follow these steps:
1. Replace with
and simplify:
2. Descompose 12 into its prime factors:
3. Substitute into the expression:
4. Since , you can simplify it:
the assumption being that "x" is a plain variable whilst "y" is a function, that matters because the chain rule would be needed for a function, not so for a plain variable.
now, we know that y(5) = -23, which is another way of saying that when x = 5, y = -23, but we already knew that, we can get that by simply plugging it into the equation hmmm y'(5), well
Answer:
The bird has to fly 7.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see diagram in attached image.
Notice that there is a right angle triangle that defines the situation, and you know two elements of such triangle;
1) one acute angle (), and
2) the side opposite to that angle.
What you need to find is the side adjacent to the angle, which is what the bird needs to fly horizontally to be above the fish. We named that "x".
The trig function that relates such triangle elements is the tangent:
which rounded to the nearest tenth is: 7.5 m
