EXAMPLE 6 Model with a tangent function Glass Elevator You are standing 120 feet from the base of a 260 foot building. You watch your friend go down the side of the building in a glass elevator. Write and graph a model that gives your friend’s distance d (in feet) from the top of the building as a function of the angle of elevation q.

EXAMPLE 6 Model with a tangent function SOLUTION Use a tangent function to write an equation relating d and q. opp 260 – d tan q = = adj 120 tan q = 260 – d 120 tan q – 260 = – d – 120 tan q + 260 = d Definition of tangent Multiply each side by 120. Subtract 260 from each side. Solve for d. The graph of d = – 120 tan q + 260 is shown at the right.
