Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
With some linear expressions, like this one, that has an answer of 0 has no solution
Answer:
1) From the measure of 40°, you can write:
tan(40°) = 100/x, where x is the base from the building to the tower
⇒x=100/tan(40°) = 119,18 m
2) From the measure of 30°, you can write
tan(30°) = y / 119,18, where y is the height from the roof of Jill's building to the top of the tower.
Then, y = tan(30°) * 119,18 = 68,81 m
3) The height of Jill's building is 100 - 68,81 = 31,19 m
Ahh yes, negative exponents always give us a scare once and a while. All the negative means is to flip the position of its base. For instance, if x has a negative exponent and x in the denominator, all you would have to do is move x to the numerator with the same power (except it's no longer negative). Before we substitute x and all the other variables which the values given, let's eliminate the negatives first.
After flipping positions/eliminating the negative exponents it should look like this:

which simplifies to

now that everything is simplified, and all negative exponents are eliminated we can substitute x with 2, and y with (-4).

which simplifies to
