Answer:
Height of tree is <em>15 m.</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that student is 20 m away from the foot of tree.
and table is 1.5 m above the ground.
The angle of elevation is: 34°28'
Please refer to the attached image. The given situation can be mapped to a right angled triangle as shown in the image.
AB = CP = 20 m
CA = PB = 1.5 m
= 34°28' = 34.46°
To find TB = ?
we can use trigonometric function tangent to find TP in right angled
Now, adding PB to TP will give us the height of tree, TB
Now, height of tree TB = TP + PB
TB = 13.72 + 1.5 = 15.22 <em>15 m</em>
Because the coefficient of x^2 is -1, we know that a will be -1. Knowing that the coefficient of x is -4, we can calculate that p=2. Thus, we have -1(x+2)^2+q is our equation. This is equal to -x^2-4x-4+q. As the constant term must be 2, we can then see that q is 6.
As such, we have -1(x+2)^2+6=0 as our factorization.
To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula. Plugging in values, we have:
which is equal to: (when the fraction is simplified)
