Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The side opposite to the 4 degree angle is 18 m

The side adjacent the 4 degree angle is x

tan(4) = opposite / adjacent

adjacent = opposite / (tan(4))

adjacent = 18 / tan(4)

adjacent = 257.41

One of the factors of 34 is chosen at random. What is the probability that the factor is itself a two digit number?
solong [7]
A factor of 30 is chosen at random. What is the probability, as a decimal, that it is a 2-digit number?

The positive whole-number factors of 30 are:

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15 and 30.

So, there are 8 of them. Of these, 3 have two digits. Writing each factor on a slip of paper, then putting the slips into a hat, and finally choosing one without looking, get that

P(factor of 30 chosen is a 2-digit number) = number of two-digit factors ÷ number of factors

=38=3×.125=.375

Rigid transformations how to know when a figure is dilation transformation, rotation and dilation?​
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

the shape could be congruent or similar to its preimage. There are basically four types of transformations: Rotation; Translation; Dilation; Reflection; Definition of Transformations. Transformations could be rigid (where the shape or size of preimage is not changed) and non-rigid (where the size is changed but the shape remains the same).

Find the maximum value or minimum value for the function f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)² - 3.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The minimum value for  f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3 is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3

We need to find the maximum value or the minimum value for the function.

Now, differentiate f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3  w.r.t x.

f'(x) =\frac{d}{dx}(0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3)\\f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(0.15(x+1)^2-\frac{d}{dx}(3)\\

f'(x)=2\times 0.15(x+1)\frac{d}{dx}(x+1)-0\\f'(x)=0.3(x+1)(1)\\f'(x)=0.3(x+1)

Now, we will equate f'(x)=0 to find critical point.

0.3(x+1)=0\\x=-1

Plug this critical point in to the function f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3  we get,

f(-1) = 0.15(-1 + 1)^2 - 3\\f(-1)=-3

Also, f''(x)=0.3 which is positive, We have minimum value.

So, the minimum value for  f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3 is -3.
