Answer:

  • cable length: 300.2 ft
  • anchor distance: 193.0 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The side given is opposite the given angle. We want to find both the hypotenuse and the adjacent side in the right triangle that models the geometry.

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(50°) = (230 ft)/h

  h = (230 ft)/sin(50°) ≈ 300.24 ft

The length of the cable must be about 300.2 feet.

__

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(50°) = (230 ft)/d

  d = (230 ft)/tan(50°) ≈ 192.99 ft

The cable must be anchored about 193.0 ft from the tower.

Find all real and non-real roots of the function ƒ(x) = x2 + 49. Question 1 options: A) x = –7, 7 B) x = –7i, 7i C) x = –49i, 49
malfutka [58]

Given:

The function is:

f(x)=x^2+49

To find:

The all the real and non-real roots of the given function.

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=x^2+49

For roots, f(x)=0,

x^2+49=0

x^2=-49

Taking square root on both sides, we get

x=\pm \sqrt{-49}

x=\pm \sqrt{-1}\sqrt{49}

x=\pm 7i                [\because \sqrt{-1}=i]

The roots of the given function are -7i and 7i.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Zina [86]

Answer:

When I squared the binomials, they became quadratic trinomials.

(Not sure if this is the kind of answer you want, sorry if it's not!)

(x-3)² = x² - 6x + 9

(x+2)² = x² + 4x + 4

(x-4)² = x² - 8x + 16

(x+5)² = x² + 10x + 25

If a cone has a volume of 28.63 and a diameter of 4.5 what is the height​
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

height = 5.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 4.5/2 = 2.25

B = πr² = 3.14(2.25²) = 15.90

V = 1/3Bh

28.63 =1/3(15.90)h

85.89 = 15.90h

h = 5.40 units
