Answer:
38 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
:)
Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let
the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.
We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is
.
Answer should be -4
since there is no other context, we can assume that x is -4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Left
When a square = a linear, always expand the squared expression.
x^2 - 2x + 1 = 3x - 5 Subtract 3x from both sides
x^2 - 2x - 3x + 1 = -5
x^2 - 5x +1 = - 5 Add 5 to both sides
x^2 - 5x + 1 + 5 = -5 + 5
x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0
This factors
(x - 2)(x - 3)
So one solution is x = 2 and the other is x = 3
Second from the Left
i = sqrt(-1)
i^2 = - 1
i^4 = (i^2)(i^2)
i^4 = - 1 * -1
i^4 = 1
16(i^4) - 8(i^2) + 4
16(1) - 8(-1) + 4
16 + 8 + 4
28
Second from the Right
This one is rather long. I'll get you the equations, you can solve for a and b. Maybe not as long as I think.
12 = 8a + b
<u>17 = 12a + b Subtract</u>
-5 = - 4a
a = - 5/-4 = 1.25
12 = 8*1.25 + b
12 = 10 + b
b = 12 - 10
b = 2
Now they want a + b
a + b = 1.25 + 2 = 3.25
Right
One of the ways to do this is to take out the common factor. You could also expand the square and remove the brackets of (2x - 2). Both will give you the same answer. I think expansion might be easier for you to understand, but the common factor method is shorter.
(2x - 2)^2 = 4x^2 - 8x + 4
4x^2 - 8x + 4 - 2x + 2
4x^2 - 10x + 6 The problem is factoring since neither of the first two equations work.
(2x - 2)(2x - 3) This is correct.
So the answer is D
