The ratio of the triangle is 55/1.1, which is 50/1.

This means that the building is 50/1 = x/5

x = 250

The office building is 250 m tall.

Which<br> expression is equivalent to 9q^2 - 2/3 (3q - 7) + 5q^2?

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

14q^2−2q+14/3

Step-by-step explanation:

9q^2 - 2/3 (3q - 7) + 5q^2

Use the distributive property to multiply -2/3 by 3q−7.

9q^2 - 2q + 14/3 + 5q^2

Combine 9q^2 and 5q^2 to get 14q^2

14q^2−2q+14/3

If sin0=2/3 find the values of the other five trigonometric functions of 0.

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

See image

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps a lot to draw a triangle. Sin is OPPOSITE/ HYPOTENUSE. You can use Pythagorean thm to find the third side. Then use cos = ADJ/HYP

tan = OPP/HYP

Then, find reciprocal functions. Reciprocal just means you are flipping the ratios over.

csc = HYP/OPP

sec = HYP/ADJ

tan = ADJ/OPP

The only tricky remaining part is that you cant leave a radical (the square root symbol) on the bottom of a ratio. So you have to fix those. See image.

Given the following functions f(x) and g(x), solve f over g (−5) and select the correct answer below:

ahrayia [7]

Plug -5 into both of them and divide:

$\sf\dfrac{2x-20}{x-1}$

$\sf\dfrac{2(-5)-20}{-5-1}$

Simplify:

$\sf\dfrac{-10-20}{-6}$

$\sf\dfrac{-30}{-6}$

$\boxed{\sf 5}$
