Answer:

Angle of elevation = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

A princess is standing 38 feet from the base of a 217 foot tall tower. What is the angle of elevation from him to the ogre who has his princess held captive?

To solve for angle of elevation, we use the Trigonometric function of Tangent.

tan θ = Opposite side/Adjacent side

Opposite side = Height of the tower = 217 ft

Adjacent side = 38ft

tan θ = 217/38

tan θ = 5.6315789474

θ = arc tan 5.6315789474

= 79.930937301°

Approximately = 80°

DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND QUADRATIC APPLICATIONS FOR ALGEBRA 1???? PLS DONT RESOND IF YOU DINT KNOW
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

1 ) Vertex form.

2 ) Standard form.

3 ) I'm not sure about this one, but there are only 3 forms, in which the last one is factored form, and the other two are above, so it must be factored form.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ) Vertex form : y = a( x - h )² + k

Vertex form shows you where the vertex(the lowest/highest point aka ( h, k ) ) of the parabola is, without graphing it. (But you could graph it and find the vertex like that, I recommend you use desmos graphing)

2 )Standard form : y = ax² + bx + c

Standard form can be used to show the y-intercept( aka c ), in this case, where the snowball was thrown from. (Again, you can graph it and find where he parabola hits the y axis)

3 ) Factored form : ( ax + c )( bx + d )

Factored form tells us the x-intercepts, or in this case where the snowball landed or how long the snowball is in the air. (like i said, you could graph it, and find the points(there could be only one or maybe none in some cases) that are on the x axis)

I know this was four days ago, but I hope this helped you understand a little better.

You applied the rule improperly.  When dividing exponents, you subtract the exponent of the denominator <em>from</em> the exponent of the numerator, not the other way around.  The exponent you should have gotten was 8^{-6}

A student is making cookies for a bake sale. He sells 8 snickerdoodles and 12 chocolate chip
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Snickerdoodles are 0.22$ each and chocolate chip are 0.43$ each

Step-by-step explanation:

using the information in the problem, you can make 2 separate equations: 8x+12y=6.92 and 5x+5y=3.25, let x= the cost of a snickerdoodle and y= the cost of a chocolate chip cookie.

With the 2 equations, we can isolate the y variable of the first equation and simplify which will give us y= -2/3x +6.92/12.

You can now take that equation and plug it into equation number 2:

5x+5(-2/3x + 6.92/12)=3.25.

solve that equation by multiplying 5 through the brackets: 5x-10/3x+34.6/12=3.25

add common terms: 5/3x=4.4/12

find the value of x, you will get x=0.22

plug the value of x (0.22) into one of your equations and solve for the y-value
