Answer:

44.44°

Step-by-step explanation:

A tower that is 101 feet tall casts a shadow 103 feet long. Find the angle of elevation of the sun to the nearest degree.

We solve this question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent

tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent

θ = ?

Opposite = Height of the tower = 101 feet

Adjacent = Length of the shadow = 103 feet

Hence

tan θ = 101/103

θ = arc tan (101/103

θ = arctan(0.9805825242718447)

θ = 44.438294667°

Approximately to the nearest degree = Angle of elevation = 44.44°

Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4(3x - 7) = 40 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

3x - 7 = - 10 ( add 7 to both sides )

3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 1

The degree of 4 – x2
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the given is x^2 then the degree is 2.

Degree: 4 - x^2 = 2.

It is what is on the x to the highest power. If the question was

x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x + 4

The the degree would be 3

Which graph represents y = StartRoot x EndRootWhat is the solution of StartFraction 1 Over c minus 3 EndFraction minus StartFrac

The equation is undefined for singularity points at 0, 3, then c ≠ 0, c ≠ 3

<h3>What is the graph of the parent function (y)?</h3>

The set of all coordinates (x, y) in the plane that satisfy the equation y = f(x) is the graph of the function. Suppose a  function is only specified for a small set of input values, the graph of the function will only have a small number of points, in which each point's x-coordinate represents an input number and its y-coordinate represents an output number.

From the given information,

  • The domain for the \mathbf{y=\sqrt{x}} is at x ≥ 0,
  • The range is the set of values that the dependent variable for which the function is defined. f(x) ≥ 0.

In the second question:

\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{c-3}-\dfrac{1}{c}= \dfrac{3}{c(c-3)}}

Multiply by LCM

  • c - (c - 3) = 3

Solve c - (c - 3) = 3: True for all c

c ≠ 0, c ≠ 3

Therefore, we can conclude that since the equation is undefined for singularity points at 0, 3, then c ≠ 0, c ≠ 3

HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!!!
Feliz [49]

Answer:

<u>y = x/2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x has a negative slope so cross this one out.

y = 2x has a steeper slope that would be above the black line so cross this one out

y = 0.001x has a slope that acends very slowly so cross this one out.

y = x/2 is the best match.
