Tan52° = x/29

The angle of elevation is 52°, so that must be inside the tan function.

Tan is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. Jessica’s height is unknown, so we can call that x. The adjacent side of the triangle is the shadow, which is 29’m. Since tan is opposite over adjacent (remember SOH CAH TOA), the fraction must be x/29.

Please help with how to find the area of the shape with work
GrogVix [38]

Answer: 10 squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do it with integrals.

If we take the bottom vertex as the point (0,0), the top right vertex as the point (0,4) and the left vertex as the point (5, 6)

then the area of the triangle is the area enclosed by two lines between the values x = 0 and x = 5.

the two lines are:

the bottom is the one that passes through (0,0) and (5,6)

f(x) = y = s*x (because it passes through the point (0,0))

and the slope is s = 6/5.

so f(x) =  y = (6/5)*x.

The top line is the one that passes through (0,4) and (5,6)

the y-intercept is b = 4, and the slope is:

s = (6 - 4)/(5 - 0) = 2/5.

g(x) = y = (2/5)*x + 4.

Now, the area enclosed for the triangle is equal to:

\int\limits^5_0 {g(x) - f(x)} \, dx

this is equal to:

\int\limits^5_0 {(2/5)x + 4 - (6/5)x} \, dx = \int\limits^5_0 {-(4/5)*x + 4} \, dx

= (1/2)(-4/5)*(5)^2 + 4*5 - 0 = 10

The area is 10 squares

You are given the function f(x)=1/x^2+10. f(x) is concave up whenever: A. x^2−10 is negative. B. 3x^2−10 is positive. C. 3x^2+10
lukranit [14]

Answer:

f(x) is concave up whenever:

B. 3x²−10 is positive

f(x) is concave down whenever:

A. 3x²−10 is negative

The points of inflection of f(x) are the same as:

B. the zeros of 3x²−10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = 1 / (x²+10)

We can determine the concavity by finding the second derivative.

If

f"(x) > 0  ⇒  f(x) is concave up

If

f"(x) < 0  ⇒  f(x) is concave down

Then

f'(x) = (1 / (x²+10))' = -2x / (x²+10)²

⇒  f"(x) = -2*(10-3x²) / (x²+10)³

if   f"(x) = 0   ⇒  -2*(10-3x²) = 0    ⇒  3x²-10 = 0

f(x) is concave up whenever 3x²−10 > 0

f(x) is concave down whenever 3x²−10 < 0

The points of inflection of f(x) are the same as the zeros of 3x²-10

it means that 3x²-10 = 0
