A surveyor measures the angle of elevation to a point on a mountain to be 12 degrees. The point on the mountain is horizontally

5 miles away from the surveyor. What is the vertical change in elevation from the point where the surveyor is standing to the point on the mountain? (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a mile.)

From the right triangle formed, the adjacent side to the angle of elevation is 5 miles and the vertical change in elevation is the opposite side. From the trigonometric function, tangent of an angle,
                             tan 12° = x / 5 miles
The value of x from the equation is 1.06 miles. Thus, the vertical change in elevation is 1.06 miles.

Given any two arcs, the larger of the arcs is always called a minor arcTrueFalse
GrogVix [38]

When we have two arcs in a circle, one larger and one smaller, one will be called the minor arc and the other the minor arc.

The name of the arc depends on its size, for example, given the following green and yellow arcs, the green, which is smaller, will be the minor arc:

Therefore, the larger arc is always called Major arc, not minor arc.

The statement is False.

Answer: False

Prove that if one solution for a quadratic equation of theform x2 + bx + c = 0 is rational (where b and c are rational),then the
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The other solution of the given equation x² + bx + c = 0   is also rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given: ax² + bx + c = 0 is a quadratic equation

Also, one solution  (r)  of equation is RATIONAL.

To show: The other solution (s)  is also RATIONAL

Now, here: as x² + bx + c = 0

Since r and s are the two given solutions, the given equation can be factorized as:

x² + bx + c =  (x -r) (x - s)

Simplifying LHS, we get:

(x -r) (x - s) = x x - r (x) - s (x) +  (r)(s)

                 =  x² + x(-r - s) +  rs

or, x² + bx + c = x² + x(-r - s) +  rs

Comparing the related terms, we get:

b =  (-r - s)    

⇒  b +  s = - r

or, s  = -r - b

Now, given : r = Rational  and the negative of a rational is also rational.

⇒  -r is also rational

Also, difference of two rational number is also rational.

⇒ -r - b is also rational

⇒ s is a RATIONAL NUMBER

Hence, the other solution of the given equation x² + bx + c = 0   is also rational number.

Use the diagram at the right to answer questions 22–27.
kvv77 [185]

22. 30 degrees because line DB bisects(meaning cuts in half) angle ABC so DBC should be 30 degrees because 30+30 is 60 which is what angle ABC is.

23. 60 degrees because if we assume that it is a parallelogramand that the opposite angle are congruent.

24. 120 degrees because a quadrilatteral has sides that will equal to 360 degrees, and I said that a parallelogram will have its opposite angles congruent we take away 120 from 360 (from the previous angles ABC and BCD) we end up with 240, we divide 240 by 2 and end up with 120 degrees

25. 60 degrees. I found that angle DCB is 120 degrees so angles DCB and DCE are supplementary(add up to 180 degrees) and we subtract 120 from 180 which is 60 degrees.

26. 60 degrees vertical to angle DCE.

27. 120 degrees supplementary to DCE
