Answer: x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-5) + x = 21 given
2x-5=21 combined like terms
2x=26 addition property of equality
x=13 division property of equality
The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are 21° 19' and 16°20'.
1) Convert the angles to decimal form:
19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°
20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°
2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.
You can form a triangle with
- horizontal leg x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)
You can form a second triangle with:
- horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x => h = x * tan(21.32)
Now equal the two expressions for h:
(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet
=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.
Answer: 76.39 feet

Answer:
19. B -- continued, but modest ...
Step-by-step explanation:
19. There is no decline or decrease indicated on this graph. If growth were exponential, the graph would be concave upward, which it is not. There is continued growth indicated.

20. The percentage change from 2005 to 2010 is ...
(60 -20)/20 × 100% = 2 × 100% = 200%
One might compute an average rate of change per year of ...
200%/(5 yr) = 40%/yr
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
As with any statement of percentage, you need to be very clear about what the base is.
Here, 100% is the number of farms in 2005, so an increase of 40% per year is an increase by 40% of the number in 2005. That is very different from 40% of the number in the previous year, which is how an annual percentage increase is usually interpreted. (The average annual rate of change is closer to 24% with respect to the previous year's number.)
Answer:
first, you need to get y on one side. So, because the x is negative it becomes positive when you switch it to the other side. 3y= 9x+5. You then need to divide all parts by 3. 3/3= 1 so thats just y. 9/3 is 3 so thats 3x. then 5/3 is a fraction that you can write as just 5/3 or 1 and 2/3. That would leave you with y= 3x + 5/3. Then x (3) is your slope. and what you add to it (5/3) is your y int.
