Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use either angle, but I'm going to use the one on the bottom. So, in order to find x, we need to use tangent. One side we know is the adjacent, and the side we don't know is the opposite, therefore we need tangent. Here's the equation:
Obviously, we can't have a root in our denominator, so we need to get rid of it somehow. Here's how:
We multiply the denominator of the fraction by . multiplied by itself is simply 2. Try it! We also want to multiply the numerator by , but there isn't really a number we can use with that, so we'll just add it to the side. The equation you have now is:
Let's try to work this out now. Since the denominator is 2, we have to multiply both sides by it to find x.
We can plug 2 in for the x in the numerator now:
2 and 2 cancel out, so you get 1 in both the numerator and denominator. That's how we get our answer of 
Also, because this is a 45-45-90 triangle, you don't really have to do all that work. If it's a 45-45-90 triangle, both legs should be the same length. :)
Answer:
11.6
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 traingles one from the person to bottom of mirror and one from the bottom of the mirror to the top of the building
these are conjugate triangles so if the 3m represents 17.5
what does the 2 m represent?
2*17.5/3=35/3=11 2/3 so 11.6
Answer:
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the slope. We do so by choosing any two points and dividing the change in the y-coordinates (their difference) by the change in the x-coordinates (their difference). Let's just choose (1, 3) and (0, 3). The slope is: . So, the slope is 0.
We want to write a line in slope-intercept form, which is: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). Here, the slope m = 0. Looking at the graph, we see that the y-intercept is (0, 3), so b = 3. Then, our line is: y = 0x + 3 ⇒ y = 3.
Another note is that this is a horizontal line. One thing to remember is that all horizontal lines have slopes of 0, so their function is simply y = k, where k is a constant through which the line cuts through.
You'd have to draw a table of x and y values first to be able to graph.
Step 1: Pick any number for x. Let's pick 2.
Step 2: Plug in 2 into the equation: y = 2^2 + 2(2) - 3
Step 3: Solve for y: 4 + 4 - 3 = 5
Step 4: So the point (ordered pair) would be (x, y) ⇒ (2, 5). You can plot that on the graph.
Follow these steps 2 more times to get at least three ordered pairs.
Make sure you have enough points to know where the graph curves, then you can connect the dots and now there you have a graph and chart :)
There are no values of
m
m
that make the equation true.
No solution
