The absolute value of
5.23 = l5.23l
Since we want to find the value of <em>k</em><em> </em>where the limit exists, set both equations equal to each other. Then substitute <em>x</em> = -1 in for each equation to find <em>k</em><em>.</em>
<em>
</em>
1. Set both equations equal.

2. Substitute <em>x</em><em> </em>= -1.

3. Solve for <em>k</em><em> </em>by adding <em>k</em><em> </em>to both sides. Continue the process of solving the equation.


Thus, <em>k</em><em> </em>= -2. Check by graphing the function.
I think the question is
Find the value of c so that (x-5) is a factor of the polynomial

The other factor is going to be some quadratic. We can say a few things about its coefficients but let's start by saying in general it's



Equating respective coefficients,




so we get



Answer: -37

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
Let h the height of the hill. =
At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.
By definition,
tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x
(1)
At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is
40 + 18 = 58°.
By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)
h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)
h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)
Equate (1) and (2).
1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135
x = 946.0523
From (1), obtain
h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft
Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)
