Answer:

46.05degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Height of tree = 18ft (Opposite)

length of shadow = 25ft (hypotenuse)

Required

Angle of elevation

Sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin x = 18/25

sin x = 0.72

x = arcsin(0.72)

x = 46.05

Hence the angle of elevation of the sun is 46.05degrees

Find the value of a square + b square when a+b = 8 and ab = 10

Ne4ueva [31]

As we know,

$\boxed{ \boxed{(a + b) {}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} + 2ab}}$

now, let's plug the given values to find a² + b²

$(8) {}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} + (2 \times 10)$

$64 = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} + 20$

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = 64 - 20$

$a {}^{2} + b {}^{2} = 44$

If f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=(x^2)-7, find (f/g)(x).

alexdok [17]

$f(x)=2x+1;\ g(x)=x^2-7\\\\\left(\dfrac{f}{g}\right)(x)=\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}\\\\\boxed{\left(\dfrac{f}{g}\right)(x)=\dfrac{2x+1}{x^2-7}}$
