Answers:

  • One possible equation to solve is tan(x) = 4/15
  • That solves to roughly 15 degrees

==============================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The segment AB is the player's height of 6 ft.

The segment CD is the hoop's height, which is 10 ft.

There is a point E on CD such that rectangle BACE forms. This will help us form ED later.

Angle EBD is what we're after, which I'll call x.

Since the free throw line is 15 ft from the basket, this means segments EB and AC are 15 ft each.

In rectangle BACE, the side EC is opposite AB. So both of those sides are 6 ft each.

Since CD = 10 and EC = 6, this must mean ED = CD-EC = 10-6 = 4.

---------------------------------------

To summarize, we found that ED = 4 and EB = 15.

We'll focus our attention entirely on triangle EBD

We have two known legs of the triangle, specifically the opposite and adjacent sides.

So we'll use the tangent ratio.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = ED/EB

tan(x) = 4/15 .... is the equation to solve

x = arctan(4/15) .... same as inverse tangent or \tan^{-1}

x = 14.931417 ..... make sure to be in degree mode

x = 15 ..... rounding to the nearest whole degree

So that unknown angle in the diagram is approximately 15 degrees

Help.... and thanks

Answer:

π

Step-by-step explanation:

The *period* of a function is the length it takes before it repeats. Usually, the period of the sine function is 2π; it takes a full rotation around the unit circle for it to repeat. When we replace the input x with -2x, this does a few things:

- Changes the rotation direction

- Makes the rotation go twice as fast

If we rotate around the unit circle twice as fast, it’ll take us half of 2π, or just π to complete a cycle.

I need help pls, Someone!!
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

10. 108

11. 1,100

<em><u>12.</u></em>

-11 + 13 = 2

35 + -5 = 30

6 + (-3) +4 + 6 + (-5) = 8

5 + (-4) + (-9) + 8 = 0

(6) (8) = 48

(-2) (9) = -18

(-11) (-4) = 44

-256 divided by 0 = 0

-96 divided by +3 = -32

-36 divided by 3 = -12
