i am trying to find the horizontal distance between two towers. i don't understand how to put x=40/tan11.5 into the calculator and get the answer 196.6

Answers

Answer 1

By using trigonometric relations, we see that the horizontal distance is 196.6.

How to find the distance between the towers?

Remember the relation:

tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus).

In this case, the adjacent cathetus is the horizontal distance between the towers, the opposite cathetus is 40, and the angle is 11.5°.

Then we can write:

tan(11.5°) = 40/x

Solving for x:

x = 40/tan(11.5°)

This is the equation that you got, and it gives:

x = 40/tan(11.5°) = 196.6

Why you don't get this?

The problem may be that your calculator is in radians instead of degrees. It should say "DEG" instead of "RAD" if you want to evaluate trigonometric functions in degrees.

Change the function f(x) = 2x² + 8x +5 into vertex form.
f(x) == 2(x+4)² +5
f(x) == 2(x+2)² +5
f(x) == 2(x+2)² −3
f(x) == 2(x+4)² - 27

Answers

Answer:

C) f(x) = 2(x+2)² - 3

Explanation:

Given function:

f(x) = 2x² + 8x +5

Vertex form: y = a(x - h)² + k

For this function:

⇒ y = 2x² + 8x + 5

⇒ y = 2(x² + 4x) + 5

⇒ y = 2(x + 2)² + 5 - 2(2)²

⇒ y = 2(x + 2)² - 3

Let's go through the answer choices one by one to see which are true, and which are false.

A) False. The three dots at the end of the given list of numbers tells us the pattern goes on forever. This sequence has infinitely many terms. B) True. The first four terms are -3, 5, -7, 9, showing that the fourth term is indeed 9.C) False. The fifth term is -11, and not 2. If it said f(2) = 5, then the statement would be true because the 2nd term is 5.D) True. The domain is {1, 2, 3, 4, ...} which are indexes for the term numbers. For example, the input n = 4 is part of the domain to get us to f(4) = 9. In other words, the input 4 leads to the output 9.E) True. The notation (4,9) is another way of saying "the 4th term is 9", which is equivalent to the notation f(4) = 9.

Which statements describe the reasoning used to determine if Kelsey’s inequality is correct? Select two options. The inequality symbol is correct because she must spend less than $65. The inequality symbol is incorrect because she can spend up to and including $65. The expression 5.50b + 7.5 is correct because $5.50 per book is 5.50b and that is added to the shipping fee of $7.50 to determine the total purchase price. The expression 5.50b + 7.5 is incorrect because $5.50 per book and $7.50 should be combined to $9.50b to determine the total purchase price. The inequality symbol is correct because she cannot spend more than $65. PLS NEED ASAP!!

What is a cyclic Quadrilateral?

A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral circumscribed by a circle in which all the vertices of the quadrilateral touch the circle.

Analysis:

Join line Qx and Sx together.

2∠QRS = reflex ∠QxS ( twice angle at the circumference is that at center)

2∠STQ = ∠QxS( twice angle at circumference is that at the center)

Also ∠QXS + reflex ∠QXS = 360(angle at a point)

2∠QRS + 2∠STQ = 360

2(∠QRS + ∠STQ) = 360

∠QRS + ∠STQ = 180°

In conclusion, ∠QRS + ∠STQ = 180°

From given graph

f(-3)= (-3)

f(1)=1

Answer:

f(-3) = -3

f(1) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) means the "function of x".

Therefore, the number in the bracket after the letter f is the value of x.

f(-3) means find the value of the function (y-value) when x = -3

f(1) means find the value of the function (y-value) when x = 1

To find f(-3), find x = -3 on the x-axis.  

Now trace vertically until you meet the line. Read the value of y at this point.

⇒ f(-3) = -3

To find f(1), find x = 1 on the x-axis.  

Now trace vertically until you meet the line. Read the value of y at this point.

⇒ f(1) = 1

(3x+4x) + 2

7x+2

Therefore, f(x)+g(x) = 7x+2

================================================

Part 2

f(x) = 3x+2

f( g(x) ) = 3( g(x) ) + 2 ... replace every x with g(x)

f( g(x) ) = 3(4x) + 2 .... plug in g(x) = 4x

f( g(x) ) = 12x + 2

================================================

Part 3

Let's say x is the number of minutes.

Furthermore, let's say f(x) and g(x) are phone plan costs. Computing f(x)+g(x) will give the total cost of both plans combined. This is one example where it's useful to add the functions.

---------

As for a second example, let's say g(x) = 4x represents the total cost to fill up your car when you use x gallons of gas. The 4 out front means gas is $4 per gallon.

When we compute f( g(x) ) = 3*g(x) + 2, we could have 3 different cars that use the same amount of gas (x). The +2 at the end could be something like we have to pay $2 for parking.

Overall, f( g(x) ) = 12x + 2 is the total cost of filling up 3 cars and paying for the extra $2 parking.

Notice the output of g(x) is fed directly as the input of f(x). Think of it like a chain reaction.

This is one example of many where function composition is useful.

Area of a Polygon
In this unit, you learned about finding the area of triangles and rectangles using coordinates. But there are many more shapes than just triangles and rectangles, and these shapes often can be relatively complex. You can still find properties of such polygons by dividing them into an arrangement of simpler shapes—polygons that you’re familiar with.

When a two-dimensional figure is composed of smaller figures, its area is equal to the sum of the areas of the smaller figures. When finding the area of a polygon, it is helpful to know that any polygon can be partitioned into a series of triangles.

You will use GeoGebra to partition a polygon into a set of triangles. Go to partitioning a polygon, and complete each step below.

Answers

Using proportions, it is found that the correct statement is given by:

C There were 56 more people who ate a turkey sandwich than ate a chicken sandwich.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, one third out of 840 people ate Turkey Sandwich, hence the number is given by:

nT = 840/3 = 280.

One sixth ate Vegetarian Sandwich, hence the number is given by:

nV = 840/6 = 140.

4/15 ate Chicken Sandwich, hence the number is given by:

nC = 4 x 840/15 = 224.

7/30 ate Salad, hence the number is given by:

nS = 7 x 840/30 = 196.
