Answer:

<em>x=33.9°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Trigonometric Ratios</u>

In a right triangle, i.e. the triangles that have an internal angle of 90°, the so-called trigonometric ratios are valid.

There are six trigonometric ratios that can be used in right triangles, depending on the data available for each problem.

The current question gives us two sides in a right triangle and requires us to calculate the angle x.

The angle x 'looks' at the sides of the triangle in this way: RS=70 is the adjacent leg, SQ=47 is the opposite leg, and RQ is the hypotenuse.

We should use the trigonometric ratio that relates both the adjacent and the opposite led. There are two possibilities: The tangent and the cotangent. We'll use the tangent for no particular reason.

The tangent of an angle is defined as:

\displaystyle \tan\x=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}\\

Use the given values:

\displaystyle \tan x=\frac{47}{70}=0.6714

Using a calculator (in degree mode), we calculate the angle:

x=\tan^{-1}(0.6714)=33.9^\circ

x=33.9°

The graph of y= - 1/2x+2 is positive over the interval (4, infinity) and negative over the interval (-infinity, 4) .What happens
vichka [17]

The graph of y=ax+b, where a≠0, is always a line:

i) increasing if a>0
ii) decreasing if a<0

Consider the decreasing case.

The line is above the x-axis, that is positive but decreasing. At 1 single point it cuts the x-axis, so x=0, and then it continues decreasing below the x-axis.


Back to our problem:

The graph of y=-1/2 x +2 is a decreasing line.,

so it CANNOT be
"positive over the interval (4, infinity) and negative over the interval (-infinity, 4)"

it is 

"<span>negative over the interval (4, infinity) and  positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>"



the graph is "<span>positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>", it means that the line is decreasing but above the x-axis until 4, (4 not included).

then, "negative over the interval (4, infinity)", which means that the line is now decreasing below the x-axis.

when x=4, the line cuts the x-axis.

You bought a magazine for $3 and five notepads. You spent a total of $28. How much did each notepad cost
rosijanka [135]
$5. Subtract the cost of the magazine, $3, from the total cost, $28. Now you have $25 then you divide it by the amount of notebooks you have.
