Question 1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Scrat [10]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

17.11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You are using trigonometry in this problem.

The height of the flagpole represents the side <u><em>opposite</em></u> the given angle.

The base of the triangle is given as 19 meters and represents the side <u><em>adjacent</em></u> to the given angle.

Out of the main trigonomentric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent), only tangent uses both the opposite and adjacent sides.

Tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent

If we plug in what we know into that equation: <em>tan(42 degrees) = h / 19</em>

This means that <em>your answer = 19 * tan(42) = 17.11</em> meters

How many solutions exist for the given equation? StartFraction one-half left-parenthesis x plus 12 right-parenthesis equals 4 x
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

One solution x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

\dfrac{1}{2}(x+12)=4x-1

Multiply this equation by 2:

2\cdot \dfrac{1}{2}(x+12)=2\cdot (4x-1)\\ \\x+12=2(4x-1)

Use distributive property:

x+12=8x-2

Combine the like terms:

x+12=8x-2\\ \\x+12-12=8x-2-12\\ \\x=8x-14\\ \\x-8x=8x-14-8x\\ \\-7x=-14\\ \\7x=14\\ \\x=2

Thus, this equation has one solution x = 2

Calculate two iterations of Newton's Method to approximate a zero of the function using the given initial guess. (Round your ans
VikaD [51]

Answer:

The two iterations of f(x) = 1.5598

Step-by-step explanation:

If we apply  Newton's iterations method, we get a new guess of a zero of a function, f(x), xₙ₊₁, using a previous guess of, xₙ.

xₙ₊₁ = xₙ - f(xₙ) / f'(xₙ)

Given;

f(xₙ) = cos x, then  f'(xₙ) = - sin x

cos x / - sin x = -cot x

substitute in "-cot x" into the equation

xₙ₊₁ = xₙ - (- cot x)

xₙ₊₁ = xₙ + cot x

x₁ = 0.7

first iteration

x₂ = 0.7 + cot (0.7)

x₂ =  0.7 + 1.18724

x₂ = 1.88724

 

second iteration

x₃ = 1.88724 + cot (1.88724)

x₃ = 1.88724 - 0.32744

x₃ = 1.5598

To four decimal places = 1.5598

What percent of 75.5 is 81.54
lutik1710 [3]
If you would like to know what percent of 75.5 is 81.54, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of 75.5 is 81.54
x% * 75.5 = 81.54
x/100 * 75.5 = 81.54
x = 81.54 * 100 / 75.5
x = 108%

Result: 108% of 75.5 is 81.54.

What is the greatest common factor of x^4 and x^5?
Naily [24]

Answer:

x^4

Explanation:

Breakdown x^4 = <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> · <u>x</u>

Breakdown x^5 = <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> ·  <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> · x

Here the common factor is x · x · x · x = x^4

Hence, the greatest common factor of x^4 and x^5 is x^4.
