Answer:

Since we know the distance from Susan and Tammy is 20 miles and the ufo is between them, then the ufo is 10 miles from Susan.

The angle of elevation is 15 and we can use the cosine ratio- adjacent/hypotenuse(which is the answer we're looking for)

Cos15 = 10/x

cos15(x) = 10/x(x)

cos15(x)/cos15 = 10/cos15

x = 10/0.96592583

x= 10.35 (which is your answer)

When simplified and written in standard form, which quadratic function is equivalent to the polynomial shown?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

2c^2 - 2c - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time, please share the answer choices.  Thank you.

Group together the 'c' terms in 2 + 7c – 4c2 – 3c + 4:

                                                     2  + 4c and -4c^2 + 4  Then we have:

-4c^2 + 4c + 6

We should reduce this by factoring -2 out of all three terms:

2c^2 - 2c - 3  This is the desired quadratic in standard form.

If (a, -5) is a solution to the equation 3a = -2B - 7, what is a?
Andrew [12]
I think what you need to do is make B = -5
3a = -2(-5) - 7
3a = 10 - 7
3a = 3
a = 1
