Determine if the expression x2 + 1 is a

At a point on the ground 46 feet from the foot of a tree, the angle of elevation of the top of the tree is 68 degrees. What is t

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

114 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine or construct a right triangle with the 46 ft leg lying on the ground. This is the "adjacent side" of the triangle; it lies immediately adjacent to the 68 degree angle. The side opposite this angle is h, the height of the tree.

The tangent function includes angle, opp side and adj side:

tan 68 degrees = opp / adj = h / (46 ft), and so:

(46 ft)*tan (68 degrees) = opp = h

Then the height of the tree is h = (46 ft)(2.47) = 114 ft

1) 5 cups of yellow paint; because if 10 cups of yellow paint are used for 2 cups of blue paint, then you would use 5 cups of yellow paint to even out the pigment of one cup of blue.
2) 3 cups of blue paint, and 15 cups of yellow paint
3) 5 cups of yellow for every cup of blue paint
4) for every cup of blue paint 5 cups of yellow are used to get the same shade of green

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The answer is x = 2.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

* Scroll to the bottom for an explanation in list format :)

In this problem, our goal is to solve for x in order to identify said variable's value. To do this, we must isolate the variable x on one side, whilst the other side contains solely the value of x. The rules that we will be using for this problem are 'Line of Equality' and 'PEMDAS.' Line of Equality is a rule that states that what you do to one side of an inequality/equation, you must to do the other as well. PEMDAS is a mathematical acronym used as a tell-tale of sorts for order of operations - often OoO for inequalities such as this one. In PEMDAS, P stands for Parenthesis, E stands for Exponents, M stands for Multiplication, D stands for Division, A stands for Addition, and S stands for Subtraction. You use each letter in order of the spelling, with the exception that you do Multiplication and Division by whichever comes first in the equation; the same goes for Addition and Subtraction. However, when solving this inequality, we won't have to focus on the complications of P, E, or M at all.

The (original) inequality this problem gives us is 14 + 3x = 2 + 9x. Our first step is to choose which side we will isolate x to, leaving the other one to be its value. I would personally recommend isolate whichever x value is greater, but either way works. This time around, I chose to isolate 9x.

Since I've decided to isolate x on the right side (2 + 9x), that means I have to eliminate any other x values on either side of the inequality. The only other x value is 3x. Due to + 3x being adding a positive 3x, we have to counteract it by eliminating it and changing its value to 0. In this case, we can counteract + 3x by subtracting 3x (aka - 3x). Remember, the Line of Equality rule means we have to do the same to either side; if we subtract 3x on one side, we also have to do so on the other. 14 + 3x - 3x = 2 + 9x - 3x. +3x - 3x = 0, or 0x. 9x - 3x = 6x. After combining like terms, the new inequality is 14 = 2 + 6x.

Now, I have to eliminate any numerical values, or regular numbers (which, in this case, would be numbers without a variable attached to them), on the right side, since that is the side I want to isolate x on. The only numerical value on the right side of my inequality is 2. This 2, or + 2, can be counteracted by subtracting 2, or - 2. Our rule causes us to subtract 2 from both sides. 14 - 2 = 2 - 2 + 6x. 14 - 2 = 12. 2 - 2 = 0. After combining like terms, the new inequality is 12 = 6x.

Now, I have to simplify x and make it singular. 1x and x are the same thing, so I must make 6x into x. 6x is the same thing as 6 * x. Therefore, since 6 * x is multiplication, I have to do the opposite to get the desired result. I should divide 6x by 6 to get 6. Due to the Line of Equality, I also have to divide 12 by 6. 12 ÷ 6 = 6x ÷ 6. 12 ÷ 6 = 2. 6x ÷ 6 = x. After combining like terms, the new inequality is 2 = x.

Lastly, mainly for a bonus step, we should flip the places of 2 and x. This is because, similarly to most problems, this question places x on the left side of the inequality. The 2 and x in 2 = x must switch places in order to properly finish this problem. Since this inequality uses an equal sign, the symbol will remain as an = when the inequality is flipped. However, it should be noted that when using symbols such as greater than (>) or less than (<), the sign will flip with the rest of the inequality. = is a symmetrical sign, which is why it will remain the same; it is the same equivalent symbol even when flipped. After we flip the inequality, the new equation becomes x = 2. Therefore, our answer is x = 2.

<h3>For those that want a list format of the procedure for this inequality's solving - here you go: </h3>

* Remember the 'Line of Equality' Rule: What you do on one side, on the other do the same.

14 + 3x = 2 + 9x

Subtract 3x from both sides.

14 + 3x - 3x = 2 + 9x - 3x

14 = 2 + 6x

Subtract 2 from both sides.

14 - 2 = (+)2 - 2 + 6x

12 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6.

12 ÷ 6 = 6x ÷ 6

2 = x

Flip the inequality. (The sign remains the same since it's the equal sign.)

x = 2

Therefore, our answer is x = 2.
