I'll answer problem 9 to get you started
<h3>Answer: Choice (2) 3x-1 = 2x+3</h3>===============================================
Explanation:
We will plug x = 7 into each equation or inequality given to us. Then we determine if we get a true statement or not.
----------------
Let's start with choice (1)
x + 3 > 6
7 + 3 > 6 .... x is replaced with 7
10 > 6
Since 10 is larger than 6, this makes the last inequality true. Therefore, the first inequality is true when x = 7. So we can rule out choice (1) since we are looking for a false statement.
----------------
Move onto choice (2)
3x-1 = 2x+3
3*7-1 = 2*7+3 ... replace every x with 7
21-1 = 14+3
20 = 17
This is false since we don't get the same number on each side. Therefore, choice (2) is the final answer.
----------------
Since we found the answer, we can stop here. But let's keep going to check the others.
choice (3)
2(x+1) = x+9
2*(7+1) = 7+9 ... plug in x = 7
2*(8) = 16
16 = 16
We get the same thing on both sides, so the equation is true. We can rule out choice (3).
-----------------
Now onto choice (4)
This is true since -4 is to the left of 0 on the number line, which makes -4 smaller than 0. We can rule out choice (4).
In the given question, it is given that
ramp is 17 feet long, rises 8 feet above the floor, and covers a horizontal distance of 15 feet.
And we have to find the value of tan B.
And tangent of any angle is equal to the ratio of vertical by horizontal. That is
And that's the required missing ratio for tan B .
