5. KITES A kite string makes an angle of 48° with respect to the ground as shown
below. The dashed line is vertical and
the ground is horizontal. How are the
48° angle and the unknown angle
related? What is the value of x?

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
