Response:

tan62^{\circ}=1.875

Detailed explanation:

We know that

the length of the perpendicular side of the right triangle is 15 units

the base of the right triangle measures 8 units

the hypotenuse measures 17 units

We need to determine the value of tan62^{\circ}

From our knowledge

tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular\;side}{Base}

Substituting the values gives us

tan62^{\circ}=\frac{15}{8}=1.875

Thus, the resulting value of tan62^{\circ}=1.875

Refer to the image below

if you want to understand how to identify opposite or adjacent sides; notice that if you look directly at the angle, you will see the side opposite to it, while the adjacent side is the one that touches the angle.

Applying the cosine law, we can determine:

<span>c</span>²<span> = a</span>²<span> + b</span>²<span> - 2abcos(C) </span>
<span>where: </span>
<span>a, b, and c represent the sides of the triangle and C indicates the angle opposite to side c</span>

<span>Thus, we have:</span>
<span>150</span>²<span> = 240</span>²<span> + 200</span>²<span> - 2(240)(200)cos(C) </span>

<span>Now we solve for C</span>

<span>22,500 = 57,600 + 40,000 - 96,000cos(C) </span>
<span>22,500 - 57,600 - 40,000 = -96,000cos(C) 
</span>-75,100=-96,000cos (C)
cos (C)=0.7822916
C=arc cos(0.7822916)→ C=38.53°

<span>Therefore, the direction the captain should head towards island B is
180 - 38.53 </span><span>= 141.47 degrees</span>

A series contains 18 numbers and has a sum of 4,185. The last number of the series is 275. What is the first number?
Inessa [9000]
The formula for the sum of an arithmetic series is expressed as:
Sn=n/2(a1+an)
where:
n=total terms
a1=the initial term
an=the final term
given
n=18, an=275, Sn=4185
substituting these values into the equation results in:
4185=18/2(a1+275)
after simplification, we obtain:
4185=9(a1+275)
dividing by 9 yields:
465=a1+275
therefore
a1=465-275
a1=190

Conclusion: the first term is 190

Martha wrote an example of a quadratic function for a homework assignment. The function she wrote is shown. f(x) = 5x3 + 2x2 + 7
AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

The correct options are:

The term 5x³ can be removed

The power of the first term, 5x³, can be modified to 2 and combined with the second term, 2x²

Explanation:

The degree of an expression is identified by its highest exponent.

The expression in question is:

5x³ + 2x² + 7x - 3

Observing this, we see that the highest exponent is 3, indicating that the expression’s degree is 3.

A quadratic function is defined as having degree 2, meaning the highest degree must be 2.

Thus, Martha must eliminate the term with degree 3 (5x³) from her function.

This can be achieved through two methods:

1- She can simply remove the term with the third degree.

2- She can change the term with degree 3 to a lower degree and combine it with an existing like term.

Evaluating the options, we conclude the two accurate choices are:

- The term 5x³ can be eliminated.

- The exponent on the first term, 5x³, can be reduced to 2 and subsequently joined with the second term, 2x².

I hope this is helpful!:)
