You can use the trig ratios. Draw a diagram to see which one is appropriate.
Tan would be used.
Tan29=x/20
20Tan29=x
Put this into your calculator and see what you get
If Carly had more DVDs than Rob then you would subtract her amount away from the total. 42-4=38
x+19= 26
x+19-19= 26-19
x= 7
Check answer by using substitution method
x+19= 26
7+19= 26
26= 26
Answer is x= 7 (D.)
Answer:
The graph is positive and decreasing for all real values of x where x < -1
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

The function is a vertical parabola open up
The roots (x-intercepts) are x=3 and x=-1
The vertex is the point (1,-4 ) is a minimum
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
we know that
In the interval (-∞,-1) ---> the function is positive and decreasing
In the interval (-1,1) ---> the function is negative and decreasing
In the interval (1,3) ---> the function is negative and increasing
In the interval (3,∞) ---> the function is positive and increasing
therefore
The graph is positive and decreasing for all real values of x where x < -1
