Answer:

124.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent

= tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent

θ = Angle of Elevation = 73°

Adjacent = 38 ft

Opposite = x

Hence

tan 73° = x/38 ft

Cross Multiply

x = tan 73° × 38 ft

x = 124.2923995 ft

Approximately = 124.3 ft

Therefore, Nick is 124.3 ft from the ground.

find four consecutive even integers such that the sum of the third and fourth is 6 less than four times the first​
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The numbers are 2, 4, 6 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the four numbers be x, y, z and l respectively

then:

x+y+z+l

(z+l)–6=4x

since they are all four consecutive even integers

then y=x+2

z=y+2=x+4

l=z+2=x+6

since (z+l)–6=4x

then ((x+4)+(x+6))–6=4x

2x+4=4x

4=4x–2x

4=2x

2=x

F(x)=Tan^-1 (1)<br><br> PLEASE ANSWER! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
notka56 [123]

Answer:

−π

----

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, archtan /

tan

−

1

(

x

)

is the inverse of tangent. Tan is

sin

cos

. Like the inverse of sin, the inverse of tan is also restricted to quadrants 1 and 4.

Knowing this we are solving for the inverse of tan -1. We are basically being asked the question what angle/radian does tan(-1) equal. Using the unit circle we can see that tan(1)= pi/4.

Since the "Odds and Evens Identity" states that tan(-x) = -tan(x). Tan(-1)= -pi/4.

Knowing that tan is negative in quadrants 2 and 4. the answer is in either of those two quadrants. BUT!!! since inverse of tan is restricted to quadrants 1 and 4 we are left with the only answer -pi/4.
