Answer:

Inverse sine

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the three common trig ratios

Remember SohCahToa

Sine = Opposite over Hypotenuse (SOH)

Cosine = Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH)

Tangent = Opposite over Adjacent (TOA)

Now let's look back at the question

It asks us which inverse function would we use to solve for angle Z

Looking at angle Z, we are given it's opposite side length and the hypotenuse ( longest side ).

When dealing with the opposite side length and hypotenuse we use trig function sine.

When trying to find the angle we use inverse so we would use inverse sine to find the measure of angle A

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10 . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

An arrow is shot vertically upward from a platform 45 feet high at a rate of 168 ft/sec. Use the quadratic function

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

5.3 s

Step-by-step explanation:

a) since the height is defined by a function, we can find the turning point of the quadratic , which is where the ball will have the highest point. The turning point is where the gradient is equal to zero so we differentiate first

$h(t) = -16t^{2} + 168t + 45\\h'(t)= -32t+168\\0=-32t+168\\t=5.3s$
