Answer:
Angle is 33.82°
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, from the figure below,
Vertical distance = 12 feet
Horizontal distance = 18 feet.
Using the trigonometric rule for the right triangles, we have,
i.e.
i.e.
i.e.
i.e. x= 33.82°
Thus, the angle made by the path with the horizontal is 33.82°.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2x² + x - 3 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1
The factors are - 2 and + 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term
(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = -
