So you can use tan here, which is opposite/adjacent. (We're looking for the Adjacent)
Since we know Trail E is 1700, we're looking for the patch of trail A that is the adjacent. So if we put 42 into a tan calculator we get about 0.9.
So that means that 1,700 / adjacent = 0.9.
So we can also say
1,700/0.9 = adjacent
or, 1,700/0.9 = 1888.89
Now, we have the little patch of trail A in the smaller right triangle. We want to find the patch of trail A in the larger right triangle.
So just do 5,000 - 1,888.89
You get 3111.11
So if we know that's that, and we're looking for the hypotenuse, or Trail B, we can use cosine, because that's adjacent / hypotenuse.
So 42 in a cosine calculator is 0.74 ish.
So 3111.11 / hypotenuse = 0.74
Or 3111.11 / 0.74 = hypotenuse
Or 3111.11 / 0.74 = 4204
So Trail C should be 4204 feet long.
False it could only occur 1/4 since there is only 4 colors
Equation of a line is in the form y = mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
First step is to find the gradient.
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= ( 5- -8)/(8-4) = 13/4
We have y = (13/4)x + c
Now we replace one of the coordinates to find c. Let’s replace (4,-8)
We have: -8 = (13/4)*4 + c
-8=13+c
c=-8-13= -21
Therefore, equation of line is:
y = (13/4)x - 21
For this case we have the following functions:
We must find the product of the functions:
We apply distributive property:
Finally, the product of the functions is:
Answer:
A is NOT a function because for some values of x you get more than one y value. For example if x=2 you get 2 values for y.
b is a function because for each x you get ONLY one y
