Answer:

-5 divided by 20 isn't an irrational number because the quotient of that problem equals -0.25. If the decimal form of a number stops or repeats, the number is rational. If the decimal does not stop and does not repeat, the number is irrational. Therefore, since -0.25 stops, it is a rational number, and not an irrational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry if the explanation isn't good, or there are some grammar mistakes. But i hope this helps :)

The angle of elevation from the top of a house to a jet flying 2 miles above the house is x radians. If d represents the horizon

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

d = 2cot(x) or d = 2/tan(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical distance from the jet to the top of the house represents the opposite side to the 'x' angle, while the horizontal distance, d, represents the adjacent side. Since we do not know the hypotenuse, the tangent and cotangent functions are the preferable choices:

$tan (x) = \frac{2}{d}\\d = \frac{2}{tan (x) }\\cot (x) = \frac{d}{2} \\d= 2cot(x)$
