Answer:
39 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Right triangle
40 ft tree = opposite side
50 feet = adjacent side
tan (angle) = opp / adj = 40 /50
arctan (40/50) = 38.66 degrees ~ 39 degrees
Answer: c) 3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Plug in y = -9 and the given x-value to see if it makes a true statement.
a) -4.5 falls in the piecewise function x < -3 --> y = -x
y = -x
-9 = -(-4.5)
-9 = 4.5 FALSE
b) -3 falls in the piecewise function -3 ≤ x ≤ -2 --> y = 2x
y = 2x
-9 = 2(-3)
-9 = -6 FALSE
c) 3 falls in the piecewise function x > -2 --> y = -x²
y = -x²
-9 = -(-3)²
-9 = -9 TRUE
d) 9 falls in the piecewise function x > -2 --> y = -x²
y = -x²
-9 = -(9)²
-9 = -81 FALSE
Alright remember, if any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0, the entire expression will be equal to 0.
k+1=0
k-5=0
Set the first factor equal to 0 and solve
k=-1
Set the next factor equal to 0 and solve
k=5
The final solution is all the values that make (k+1)(k-5)=0 true.
k=-1, 5
Hope this helped you out :)
