Draw the picture; you have a right triangle. The guy wire is the hypotenuse
You want the length of the base when the side opposite the 41 degree angle
is the tree.
You have an angle and the hypotenuse; the base is the side adjacent to the
41 degree angle.
EQUATION:
cos(41) = adjacent/hypotenuse = x/14
14cos(41) = x
x = 10.57 ft

Solve for x in this inequality. Show all your work and<br> graph your solution.<br> 4(x-3)&lt;2x-4
maw [93]

Answer:

x<4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x in the inequality equation, the terms should be rearranged such that x is on one side and integers are on the other side.

First, expand 4(x-3).

This will obtain:

4x - 12 < 2x - 4

Now, shift x terms and integers on each side.

4x - 2x <  - 4 + 12

After simplifying, it will get:

2x < 8

Finally, we can solve for x.

x < 4

We can also draw the respective graph (please don't mind my drawings), where the area shaded in green is the range.

What is m∠Q ?
ddd [48]
Unlike the previous problem, this one requires application of the Law of Cosines.  You want to find angle Q when you know the lengths of all 3 sides of the triangle.

Law of Cosines:  a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A

Applying that here:

                           40^2 = 32^2 + 64^2 - 2(32)(64)cos Q

Do the math.  Solve for cos Q, and then find Q in degrees and Q in radians.

Do the table and the equation represent the<br> same function?<br> y = 390 + 11(x)
Aneli [31]

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Try to replace x by -50
  • y= 390 + 11*(-50) = -160
  • in the table we have -210 so the table doesn't represent the equation
