Answer:
a = 133 degrees
b = 78 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
the top and bottom lines are parallel.
the two sidelines are lines that intercept the top and bottom lines.
as they intercept parallel lines, they actually must have the same angles with them.
so, the 47 degrees inner angle at the bottom line, must be also somewhere at the interception point with the top line. and right, it must be now mirrored the outward angle at the top line. and that means a (the inward angle at the top line) is also the outward angle at the bottom line.
the sum of inward and outward angles at a point must always be 180 degrees.
so, the outward angle of 47 = the inward angle a =
= 180 - 47 = 133 degrees.
similar in the other side.
102 is the inward angle.
the outward angle of that is 180 - 102 = 78 degrees.
and that is also the inward angle b.
b = 78 degrees
y = x^2 + 5x -3
y-x =2
Replace y in the second equation with the first one:
x^2 + 5x -3 - x = 2
Simplify by combining like terms:
x^2 + 4x -3 = 2
Subtract 2 from both sides:
x^2 + 4x -5 = 0
Fctor the polynomial:
(x-1) (x+5) = 0
Solve for both X's:
x = 1 and x = -5
Now replace x in the second equation with both value and solve for y:
y -1 =2, y = 3
y - -5 =2, y +5 = 2, y = -3
Now combine the sets of answers:
(1,3) and (-5,-3)
Test each
if angle is increased, rock will go further
if the angle starts at 0, then increases to 90 degrees (straight up) the rock will go up then bounce off of the launcher going either front or back, but vastly shorter than if it were pointed straight ahead
2nd one
changing angle change the distance
we see that is true
Coordinate 1 is : (0,3)
Coordinate 2 is : (-4,-2)
Coordinate 3 is : (-1,-5)
Coordinate 4 is (4,0)
Hope this helps!
