Clark Kent and Lois Lane were laying on a blanket, enjoying a relaxing picnic when Clark noticed a giant asteroid approaching Ea

rth. Clark calculates the angle of elevation of the asteroid's approach to be 62°. Lois' penthouse apartment is also in the pathway of the asteroid's approach, 100 feet above ground. Clark's eye is 75 feet from the base of Lois' building. Will the asteroid take out Lois' penthouse apartment?

Answer:

The asteroid will not take out Lois' penthouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distance between Clark and the base of Lois' building is x = 75 feet and the asteroid is at an angle of elevation of Ф = 62°. These two components form a right-angled triangle with opposite side h which is the height of the asteroid above the ground.

So, by trigonometric ratios,

tanФ = h/x

h = xtanФ

h = 75 ft × tan62°

h = 75 ft × 1.8807

h = 141.1 feet

Since h = height of asteroid above the ground = 141.1 feet is greater than height of the penthouse above the ground = 100 feet, the asteroid will not take out Lois' penthouse.

Does anyone know this one?
seropon [69]

Answer:

Multiply both sides by 2

Subtract l from both sides

Divide each side by 3

(2R -l)/3 =w

Step-by-step explanation:

R = (l+3w)/2

Multiply both sides by 2

2R = 2* (l+3w)

2R = l+3w

Subtract l from both sides

2R - l = l-l +3w

2R -l = 3w

Divide each side by 3

(2R-l) /3 = 3w/3

(2R -l)/3 =w

Can someone help me with my algebra?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The top graph

Solutions:

-2

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic function in factored form is

f(x) =  - (x + 2)(x - 2)

This is a parabola that has x-intercepts at (-2,0) and (2,0)

This parabola opens downward because the leading coefficient is less than 1.

The second function is

g(x) = 2 |x  + 2|

This is an absolute value function with vertex at (-2,0).

Therefore the graph that shows the solution to f(x)=g(x) is the top graph.

Hence the solution is x=-2,x=0
