5. Patricia is on the edge of the top of a mountain and notices that a kayak on the lake is 30 meters

The distance from the kayak to the mountain to the nearest whole number is 43 meters.

The situation will form a right angle triangle as shown below in the diagram.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • One of its angle is 90 degrees.
  • The sides and angle can be found by using trigonometric ratios.

The height(opposite side) of the triangle is the kayak distance from the mountain to the lake below. The distance from the kayak to the mountain is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Therefore, using trigonometric ratios,

tan 35 = opposite / adjacent

tan 35° = 30 / a

a = 30 / tan 35°

a = 30 / 0.70020753821

a = 42.8444402023

a = 42.84 meters

a ≈ 43 meters

A÷6 is equal to one what does a represent?​
Lera25 [3.4K]
<h3>Answer:  6</h3>

=======================================

Work Shown:

a÷6 = 1

6*(a÷6) = 6*1 ... multiply both sides by 6

(6a)÷6 = 6

(6÷6)a = 6

(1)a = 6

a = 6

--------------

Check:

Replace 'a' with 6 and we see that,

a÷6 = 1

6÷6 = 1

Which is a true statement. Dividing any number but zero over itself is always 1.

What are the solutions of the equation 3x^2+6x-24=0
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x = - 4, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + 6x - 24 = 0 ( divide through by 3 )

x² + 2x - 8 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 4)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

PLEASE HELP ME ANSWER. NEEDS TO HAVE AN EXPLANATION.
finlep [7]

Answer:

1) C. 4 - 3·i

2) D. The second graph shares the same vertex, is inverted, and opens wider than the first graph

3) C. y = (x - 2)² + 3 would shift right two units

4) B. Figure B' is congruent but not similar to figure B

5) A. m∠k' = m∠k

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given that the real part of the complex number = 4

The imaginary of the complex number = -3

The general form of representing complex numbers is z = a + b·i, we have;

The binomial equivalent to the complex number is z = 4 - 3·i

2) The first graph equation is y = 2·x²

When x = 1, y = 2 and when x = 2, y = 8

The vertex = (h, k)

Where;

h = -b/(2.a) and b = 0, a = 2

∴ h = 0/(2 × 2) = 0

h = 0

k = f(h) = f(0) = 2 × 0² = 0

k = 0

The vertex, (h, k) = (0, 0)

The coefficient, 'a' is positive, therefore, the graph opens down

The second function, y = -(1/2)·x² also has a vertex (h, k) = (0, 0)

The coefficient, 'a' is positive, therefore, the graph opens up

When x = 1, y = -1/2 and when x = 2, y = -2

Therefore, the second function is wider

Therefore;

The second graph shares the same vertex, is inverted, and opens wider than the first graph

3) The given functions are;

First function; y = x² + 3 and second function; y = (x - 2)² + 3

First function;

When x = 1, y = x² + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4

∴ When x = 1, y = 4

Second function;

When y = 4, y = 4 = (x - 2)² + 3

√(1) = x - 2

x = 3

∴ When x = 3, y = 4

First function;

When x = 2, y = x² + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

∴ When x = 2, y = 7

Second function;

When y = 7, y = 7 = (x - 2)² + 3

√4 = 2 = (x - 2)

x = 2 + 2 = 4

x = 4

∴ When x = 4, y = 7

Therefore, the second function, y = (x - 2)² + 3, has the x-value shifted 2 units to the right for a given value of 'y'

4) The lengths of the sides of figure B are 3 by 4, the lengths of the sides of figure B' 4.5 by 6

The ratio of the corresponding length and width of figures B and B' are;

3/4.5 = 4/6

Therefore, figure B' is similar but not congruent to figure B

5) A rotation and a reflection are rigid transformations and therefore, the dimensions and measure of the original figure and the image are the same;

∴ m∠k' = m∠k.
