Answer:   48°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The shadow is the adjacent side and the length of the flag is the hypotenuse

cos\ \theta=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\\\cos\ \theta=\dfrac{10}{15}\\\\\\cos^{-1}(cos\ \theta)=cos^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{10}{15}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \boxed{\theta=48^o}

Maximum and Minimum Values of General Quadratic Functions
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

x=-1

y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

This works because completing the square is essentially demonstrating what g(x)  - where g(x) in this case = x^2 - would have to be translated by to give the function you have.

So by completing the square you have shown that the function you've been given has been shifted to the left by -1, stretched by a factor of 2 along the y axis and shifted up by 15.
