You have to build the triangles.
They are such that:
h is the common height
x is the horizontal distance from the plane to one stone
Beta is the angle between x and the hypotenuse
Then in this triangle: tan(beta) = h / x ......(1)
1 - x is the horizontal distance from the plane to the other stone
alfa is the angle between 1 - x and h
Then, in this triangle: tan (alfa) = h / [1 -x ] ...... (2)
from (1) , x = h / tan(beta)
Substitute this value in (2)
tan(alfa) = h / { [ 1 - h / tan(beta)] } =>
{ [ 1 - h / tan(beta) ] } tan(alfa) = h
[tan(beta) - h] tan(alfa) = h*tan(beta)
tan(beta)tan(alfa) - htan(alfa) = htan(beta)
h [tan(alfa) + tan(beta) ] = tan(beta) tan (alfa)
h = tan(beta)*tan(alfa) / (t an(alfa) + tan(beta) )
D u got to add a lil bit and that you do division
To get the inverse of a function interchange
the x's with the y'x and solve for y, as follows:
y=5x-7
Interchange to get:
x=5y-7
Solve for y to get:
y=(1/5)x+(7/5)
so I think it might be c
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add two to 7 and inverse the minus 2
3x=7+2 3x=9
Step 2: Divide each number by 3.
3x/3=x and 9/3=3
so x=3
