Answer:

  • B. 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We have the following points:</u>

  • B- position of baby bird
  • M- position of momma bird
  • G- base of the tree

<u>Given:</u>

  • GM = 18 feet
  • BG = x
  • m∠BMG = 54°

<u>Find the value of x:</u>

  • x / GM = tan ∠BMG
  • x / 18 = tan 54°
  • x = 18 tan 54°
  • x = 24.77 ≈ 25 ft

Correct choice is B

How do I solve this?
Sonbull [250]

The question is somewhat poorly posed because the equation doesn't involve <em>θ</em> at all. I assume the author meant to use <em>x</em>.

sec(<em>x</em>) = csc(<em>x</em>)

By definition of secant and cosecant,

1/cos(<em>x</em>) = 1/sin(<em>x</em>)

Multiply both sides by sin(<em>x</em>) :

sin(<em>x</em>)/cos(<em>x</em>) = sin(<em>x</em>)/sin(<em>x</em>)

As long as sin(<em>x</em>) ≠ 0, this reduces to

sin(<em>x</em>)/cos(<em>x</em>) = 1

By definition of tangent,

tan(<em>x</em>) = 1

Solve for <em>x</em> :

<em>x</em> = arctan(1) + <em>nπ</em>

<em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/4 + <em>nπ</em>

(where <em>n</em> is any integer)

In the interval 0 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 2<em>π</em>, you get 2 solutions when <em>n</em> = 0 and <em>n</em> = 1 of

<em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/4   <u>or</u>   <em>x</em> = 5<em>π</em>/4

1) A water park charges $5 for entry into the park and an additional $2 for each of the big waterslides. Steven spent $17 on his
777dan777 [17]
1.) The answer is A. 5+2x = 17. The x in the equation signifies the number of times Steven went to the big slides. The 5 represents the fixed cost of the slide. The total expenditure in the water park is 17 dollars, and the 2 represents the cost of using 1 big slide.

2.) The answer is still letter A. 5 +2x =17.

-2 (m+n-4)+5 (-2m+2n)+n (m+4n-5)
Natalka [10]
So if you want to add
we distribute
a(b+c)=ab+ac so
-2(m+n-4)=-2m-2n+8

5(-2m+2n)=-10m+10n

n(m+4n-5)=mn+4n^2-5n

so total we ahve
-2m-2n+8-10m+10n+mn+4n^2-5n
group like terms
4n^2+-2m-10m-2n+10n-5n+mn+8
add like temrs
4n^2-12m+3n+mn+8
