Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
√(2x − 1) + 2 = x
√(2x − 1) = x − 2
2x − 1 = (x − 2)²
2x − 1 = x² − 4x + 4
0 = x² − 6x + 5
0 = (x − 1) (x − 5)
x = 1 or 5
Check for extraneous solutions.
√(2(1) − 1) + 2 = 1
√(1) + 2 = 1
3 = 1
No solution
√(2(5) − 1) + 2 = 5
√(9) + 2 = 5
5 = 5
x = 5
Let the angle of elevation be θ.
We have a right angled triangle with an opposite of 300.5 ft. (306 - 5.5) and an adjacent of 400 ft. Recalling SOH CAH TOA, tanθ = O/A.
tan(θ) = 300.5/400.
θ = tan^-1(300.5/400).
θ = 36.9°.
Answer:
a=b+cd
c=b/c/a or c^2=b/a
Btw ^2 means squared or to the second power.
this might no be the answer you are looking for though
