Answer:

  • 21°

Step-by-step explanation:

A boat captain, lighthouse and its base form a right triangle.

<u>We need to find the angle opposite to 22 ft side:</u>

  • tan x = 22/103
  • x = arctan (22/103)
  • x = 21°

<em>Note, option D should read 21° not 11°</em>

Answer:

9. First Five terms

If n=0. Then,

\frac{4(0) - 5}{2}

\frac{0 - 5}{2}  =  \frac{ - 5}{2}

If n=1. Then,

\frac{4(1) - 5}{2}

\frac{4 - 5}{2}  =  \frac{ - 1}{2}

If n=2. Then,

\frac{4(2) - 5}{2}

\frac{8 - 5}{2}  =  \frac{3}{2}

If n=3. Then,

\frac{4(3) - 5}{2}

\frac{12 - 5}{2}  =  \frac{7}{2}

If n=4. Then,

\frac{4(4) - 5}{2}

\frac{16 - 5}{2}  =  \frac{11}{2}

If n=5. Then,

\frac{4(5) - 5}{2}

\frac{20 - 5}{2}  =  \frac{15}{2}

If n=6. Then,

\frac{4(6) - 5}{2}

\frac{24 - 5}{2}  =  \frac{19}{2}

Okay so first you want to simplify the given equation  (7x+3y)(7x-3y)

in order to do this you multiply the first number of the first equation (7x) with the first number of the second equation (7x) this gives you 49x^2

Now you want to multiply the second number of the first equation (3y) by the second number of the second equation (-3y) this gives you -9y^2

Its as easy as pie!

Which shows the graph of the solution set of 2x + 3y ≤ 6?
irina [24]
The dividing line will have to hit the points (0,2) and (3,0)
then you can test the point (0,0) which satisfies the inequality, so you will shade the side that has (0,0) on it, so it's the first picture.
