The first step for this problem should always be to draw out the triangle so that you can right down the angles and side lengths. Afterward, you can use SOHCAHTOA to find the height of the tree. You would use tangent. The equation you would use is tan(28°)x/18. After solving for x, you will find the answer which is approximately 9.57 feet.

Hope this helped :)

----- = -------

12          156

using cross products

11 * 156 = 12 b

divide by 12

11 * 156/12 = b

11 * 13 = b

Let a= x^2 +4. Rewrite the following equation in terms of a and set it equal to zero.
dusya [7]

Answer:


If:

a=x^{2}+4    (1)


And we have to rewrite the following expresion in terms of a:


{(x^{2}+4)}^{2}+32=12x^{2}+48   (2)


Firstly we have to rearrange the right side of equation (2) in terms of  x^{2}+4, factorizing by the common factor:


{(x^{2}+4)}^{2}+32=12(x^{2}+4)


Then, we can substitute x^{2}+4 by a:


a^{2}+32=12a


And set it equal to zero:

a^{2}-12a+32=0>>>>This is the resulting equation


Now, each term of an algebraic expresion (like the equation above) is composed of sign, coefficient, variable and exponent. The terms are separated from each other by the plus sign (+) or the minus sign (-).



In this case, the variable is a and the number that multiplies the variable (the coefficient) is -12, whereas the constant (which is the term with no variable) is 32

Determine the mean of the data. Round to the nearest tenth. 6, 9, 15, 22, 30, 36
pshichka [43]
To find the mean you add all the numbers and divide it by the amount of numbers there is so add
6+9+15+22+30+36=118 
there is 6 number so divide 118 by 6
118/6=<span>19.6666666667 rounded to the nearest tenth it would be 20
So your mean would be 20 
let me know if you have any questions</span>

Standard form of 18y = 24x - 9
makkiz [27]
Let me just say that that's an amazing picture


ok

standard form is ax+by=c where a,b, and c are integers and a is usualy positive

18y=24x-9
minus 18y both sides
0=24x-18y-9
add 9 to both sides
9=24x-18y
24x-18y=9
divide both sides by 3
8x-6y=3 is standard form

Consider the following system:
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The systems of equation are identical and such there are infinitely many solutions. For the first part the correct answer is B. For the second part, the correct answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

If we multiply the first equation by 4 the result is the second equation and thus the systems of equations are scalar multiples of each other. The solution to such a system is found by expressing one variable in terms of the other hence choice B.

Since the systems are scalar multiples of each other, if we graph them they would simply coincide since they are identical, that is they have same slope and y-intercept.
