Answer:

18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right angled ; we could use trigonometry ;

Using the angle , 40° ; adjacent side, = 14 feets ; hypotenus = x

Cos θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Cos 40 = 14 / x

0.7660444 = 14 / x

0.7660444x = 14

x = 14 / 0.7660444

x = 18.27

= 18 ( nearest foot)

What is the y and x intercept for f(x)=3x-2 find f(-5)

masya89 [10]

Answer: The y- intercept is -2. The x-intercept is 2/3

The attachment shows the solutions.

Step-by-step explanation: The y-intercept is the "b" term in the slope-intercept form of the equation. To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for the output and solve for x.

0 = 3x -2 . Add 2 to both sides

2 = 3x . Divide both sides by 3

2/3 = x the x-intercept is 2/3

To find f(-5) substitute -5 for x and solve.

f(-5) = 3(-5) -2

f(-5) = -15 -2

f(-5) = -17

I need help solving this trig problem w/ identites.

Charra [1.4K]

$\bf sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)\\\\\\
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\qquad \qquad sec(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{cos(\theta)}
\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \cfrac{1}{sin(x)-1}+\cfrac{1}{sin(x)+1}\implies \cfrac{sin(x)+1~~+~~sin(x)-1}{[sin(x)-1][sin(x)+1]}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2sin(x)}{\stackrel{\textit{difference of squares}}{sin^2(x)-1^2}}\implies \cfrac{2sin(x)}{sin^2(x)-1}\implies \cfrac{2sin(x)}{-[~1-sin^2(x)~]}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2sin(x)}{-[cos^2(x)]}\implies -2\cdot \cfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}\cdot \cfrac{1}{cos(x)}\implies -2tan(x)sec(x)$
