Here you would use right triangle trig (SOH CAH TOA)
So first draw a right triangle. Imagine youre standing at the angle opposite the right angle which is the one on the ground.This angle is the 41°. Now Imagine the balloon is as the angle above the right triangle. Well since the balloon is 1503 m from his location this would be the hypotenuse. SInce we are trying to find the height (x) we would use sine since
sine = opposite/hypotenuse . Now lets solve make sure calculator is in degree mode:

sin41 = x/1503      multiply both sides by 1503 to cancel it out
1503sin41 = x        plug into calculator
x = 986.057 ft
The balloon is 986.057 feet above the ground.

In the right triangle the hypotenuse is the distance indicated by the radio signal, 1503 m, and the angle is 41°.

The opposed leg to 41° is the height of the ballon.

Then you can use the sine trigonometric function.

sine (41°) = opposed leg / hypotenuse = x / 1503 m => x = 1503m * sine(41°)

=> x = 986m.

Answer: 986m

Need help what is this
Ann [662]

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the values of x from the domain into f(x) for range

f(2) = 2³ + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9

f(3) = 3³ + 1 = 27 + 1 = 28

f(4) = 4³ + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65

range is {9, 28, 65 }

Solving Quadratic Equations using the Square Root Property
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

x = -2   or   x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to complete the square before you can take the square root of both sides.

x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0

Subtract 10 from both sides.

x^2 + 7x = -10

To complete the square, you need to add the square of half of the x-term coefficient to both sides.

The x-term coefficient is 7. Half of that is 7/2. Square it to get 49/4. Now we add 49/4 to both sides of the equation.

x^2 + 7x + \dfrac{49}{4} = -10 + \dfrac{49}{4}

(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = -\dfrac{40}{4} + \dfrac{49}{4}

(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = \dfrac{9}{4}

Now we use the square root property, if

x^2 = k, then

x = \pm \sqrt{k}

x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{9}{4}}

x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \dfrac{3}{2}

x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \dfrac{3}{2}   or   x + \dfrac{7}{2} = -\dfrac{3}{2}

x = -\dfrac{4}{2}   or   x = -\dfrac{10}{2}

x = -2   or   x = -5
