Solve the equation using the quadratic formula v squared +2v-8=0

9514 1404 393

  a) x ≈ 36.87°

  b) y ≈ 53.13°

  c) they are complementary

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The tangent relation is useful:

  Tan(x°) = Opposite/Adjacent = 3/4

  x° = arctan(3/4) = 36.87°

__

b) The tangent relation is useful:

  Tan(y°) = Opposite/Adjacent = 4/3

  y° = arctan(4/3) = 53.13°

__

c) The acute angles in a right triangle are complementary angles.
