Linear-systems/148200: You are sliding a big cabinet down a truck ramp for a customer. You must maintain control of the cabinet because it is very heavy. There are 2 ramps in the building. The equation of ramp 1 is y = 2x + 7 and the equation of ramp 2 is y = 3 x + 7. Which is the safest ramp to slide the cabinet down without losing control and why? 1 solutions Answer 108594 by jim_thompson5910(28717)   on 2008-07-14 11:34:33 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Notice how the slope of the first equation is and the the slope of the second equation is . Since the slope of the second equation is larger than the the slope of the first equation, this tells us that the second ramp is steeper. So the first ramp is safer since it has a more shallow slope.

Let's simplify this expression using synthetic division Start with the given expression First lets find our test zero: Set the denominator equal to zero Solve for x. so our test zero is 2 Now set up the synthetic division table by placing the test zero in the upper left corner and placing the coefficients of the numerator to the right of the test zero. 2 | 1 -7 13 3 | Start by bringing down the leading coefficient (it is the coefficient with the highest exponent which is 1) 2 | 1 -7 13 3 | 1 Multiply 2 by 1 and place the product (which is 2) right underneath the second coefficient (which is -7) 2 | 1 -7 13 3 | 2 1 Add 2 and -7 to get -5. Place the sum right underneath 2. 2 | 1 -7 13 3 | 2 1 -5 Multiply 2 by -5 and place the product (which is -10) right underneath the third coefficient (which is 13) 2 | 1 -7 13 3 | 2 -10 1 -5 Add -10 and 13 to get 3. Place the sum right underneath -10. 2 | 1 -7 13 3 | 2 -10 1 -5 3 Multiply 2 by 3 and place the product (which is 6) right underneath the fourth coefficient (which is 3) 2 | 1 -7 13 3 | 2 -10 6 1 -5 3 Add 6 and 3 to get 9. Place the sum right underneath 6. 2 | 1 -7 13 3 | 2 -10 6 1 -5 3 9 Since the last column adds to 9, we have a remainder of 9. This means is not a factor of Now lets look at the bottom row of coefficients: The first 3 coefficients (1,-5,3) form the quotient and the last coefficient 9, is the remainder, which is placed over like this Putting this altogether, we get: So which looks like this in remainder form: remainder 9 You can use this online polynomial division calculator to check your work

Let's say that you want to graph Looking at we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis So we have one point Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means Also, because the slope is , this means: which shows us that the rise is 1 and the run is 2. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 2 So starting at , go up 1 unit and to the right 2 units to get to the next point Now draw a line through these points to graph So this is the graph of through the points and

Start with the given system of equations: Multiply the both sides of the first equation by -2. Distribute and multiply. So we have the new system of equations: Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this: Group like terms. Combine like terms. Notice how the x terms cancel out. Simplify. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Now go back to the first equation. Plug in . Multiply. Subtract from both sides. Combine like terms on the right side. Divide both sides by to isolate . Reduce. So our answer is and . Which form the ordered pair . This means that the system is consistent and independent. Notice when we graph the equations, we see that they intersect at . So this visually verifies our answer. Graph of (red) and (green)

Trigonometry-basics/148154: 2. Out for a walk in Chicago, Morgan measured the angle of elevation to the distant Sears Tower, and got 3.6 degrees. After walking one km directly toward the building, Morgan found that the angle of elevation had increased to 4.2 degrees. Use this information to estimate the height of the Sears Tower and how far Morgan is from it after walking toward the building. 1 solutions Answer 108537 by jim_thompson5910(28717)   on 2008-07-13 20:33:28 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! First draw the picture and label the angles and sides: Now let's find the measures of the other angles. From the drawing, we can see that the angle 4.2 degrees and the unkown angle "a" make up a straight line. So this means that . Solving for "a", we get . Using the fact that all angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees, this means that (these are the angles from the obtuse triangle). Solving for "b" gives us . Finally, we know that angles "c" and 4.2 are complementary. So this means that . Isolate "c" and we get Now add these angle measures to the drawing. Notice how we have a lot of angle measures but only one side length given. We can use the Law of Sines to find any given length of any triangle as long as we have at least two angles and a side length. So the Law of Sines formula is: Since we have two angles and a side, let's use the angle measures 3.6 and 0.6 to find the length of "y" Plug in , , , and Simplify. Multiply both sides by . Divide both sides by . Rearrange the equation. Evaluate the sine functions. Divide. So the length of "y" is 5.99616 km Now let's update the drawing From the drawing, we can see that the hypotenuse of the second triangle is 5.99616. Using the angle 4.2, this makes the height of the building "x" the opposite side. So let's use the sine function where "a" is the angle 4.2 Plug in and the given side lengths Multiply both sides by 5.99616. Evaluate the sine of 4.2. Multiply So the height is . Now to find the length of the base of the second triangle, simply use the cosine function. where "a" is the angle 4.2 Plug in and the given side lengths Multiply both sides by 5.99616. Evaluate the cosine of 4.2. Multiply So the distance from the building to the second position is 5.97997 km --------------------------------- Answer: So the height of the building is 0.43915 km or 1,440.78084 feet and the distance from the building to Morgan's final position is 5.97997 km or 19,619.3241 feet

Trigonometry-basics/148137: 13. Atiba wants to measure the width of the Hudson River. Standing under a tree T on the river bank, Atiba sights a rock at the nearest point R on the opposite bank. Then Atiba walks to a point P on the river bank that is 50 meters from T, and makes RTP a right angle. Atiba then measures RPT and obtains 76.8 degrees. How wide is the river? 1 solutions Answer 108534 by jim_thompson5910(28717)   on 2008-07-13 19:39:09 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! First let's draw a picture of the problem: From the picture, we can see that the opposite side is "x" and the adjacent side is 50. So let's use the tangent function to find the unknown length Remember, the tangent function is where "a" is the angle Start with the given equation. Plug in and the given lengths of the legs of the triangles. Multiply both sides by 50. Take the tangent of 76.8 to get 4.264 (note: make sure that you are in "degree" mode) Multiply So the answer is approximately which means that the width of the river is about 213.2 meters

Start with the given expression Remember you cannot take the square root of a negative value. So that means the argument must be greater than or equal to zero (i.e. the argument must be positive) Set the inner expression greater than or equal to zero Add 3 to both sides Combine like terms on the right side So that means x must be greater than or equal to in order for x to be in the domain So the domain in set-builder notation is So here is the domain in interval notation: [3,) Now to find the range, we must graph the equation Graph of From the graph, we can see that the lowest y-value is . So the range in set-builder notation is Also the range in interval notation is: [0,) Start with the given equation. Switch x and y. Subtract 7 from both sides. Divide both sides by 4.
