Answer:

tan 21 = 17 000 / d

d = 17000/ tan21 = 44286.5 ft

Identify the domain of the graph given. *Don't forget the parenthesis or brackets*

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

(-4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is all of its possible x-values. In this graph, there is a y-value for every x-value between -4 and 3 except -4 and 3, because there are open dots at those points. Therefore, the domain is (-4,3). Use parenthesis because the function is not defined at x=-4 or x=3.

Answer:

A is on a line with the slope of 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

the rule is that you do y2-y1 over x2-x1 which you do 4-2 over 8-5 and your final answer you would get 2/3.

hope this helped!

For the given triangle, the value of x equals 30.9892 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In the triangle, the angle is 40°, the opposite side has a length of 26 units, the adjacent side has a length of x units while the hypotenuse is not given.

To determine the value of x, we determine the value of the tan of the given triangle.

To calculate the tan of angle A we divide the opposite side's length by the the adjacent side's length.

$tan A = \frac{oppositeside}{adjacent side}.$

Step 2:

The length of the opposite side = 26 units.

The length of the adjacent side = x units.

$tan A = \frac{oppositeside}{adjacent side}, tan 40 = 0.8390, tan A = \frac{26}{x} .$

$0.8390 = \frac{26}{x} , x = \frac{26}{0.8390} = 30.9892.$

So x measures 30.9892 units.
