An observer at the top of a 532 foot cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 4 degrees. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground = 7608 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Height of the cliff is 532 feet, angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground is equal to 4 degrees.

To find: distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground

Solution:

In ΔABC,

[tex]\angle ACB=4^{\circ}[/tex]  (Alternate interior angles)

For any angle [tex]\theta[/tex], [tex]\tan \theta =[/tex] side opposite to angle/side adjacent to angle

[tex]\tan C=\frac{AB}{BC}[/tex]

Put [tex]AB=532\,,\,\angle C=4^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\tan 4^{\circ}=\frac{532}{BC}\\\\BC=\frac{532}{\tan 4^{\circ}}\\\\=7607.95\\\\\approx 7608\,\,feet[/tex]

Distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground = 7608 feet

This is my first time doing a double integral, so im only 90% sure in my answer

Step-by-step explanation:

You pretty much want to take the double integral of sinx + cosx

The anti-derivative of sinx = -cosx

The anti-derivative of cosx = sinx

So f' = -cosx + sinx

Now lets take the integral of f':

The anti-derivative of -cosx = sinx

The anti-derivative of sinx = -cosx

So, f(x) = sinx - cosx

Answer:    f(θ) = -sin(θ) - cos(θ) + 2θ + 3

============================================================

Work Shown:

I'll use x in place of theta since its easier to type on a keyboard.

f '' (x) = sin(x) + cos(x)

f ' (x) = -cos(x) + sin(x) + C ..... integrate both sides; dont forget the plus C

f ' (0) = 1

f ' (0) = -cos(0) + sin(0) + C

-cos(0) + sin(0) + C = 1

-1 + 0 + C = 1

C = 1+1

C = 2

So,

f ' (x) = -cos(x) + sin(x) + C

turns into

f ' (x) = -cos(x) + sin(x) + 2

----------------------------

Now integrate both sides of the first derivative to get the original f(x) function

f ' (x) = -cos(x) + sin(x) + 2

f(x) = -sin(x) - cos(x) + 2x + D .... apply integral; D is some constant

f(0) = -sin(0) - cos(0) + 2(0) + D

f(0) = 0 - 1 + 0 + D

f(0) = D - 1

f(0) = 2

D-1 = 2

D = 2+1

D = 3

We have f(x) = -sin(x) - cos(x) + 2x + D update to f(x) = -sin(x) - cos(x) + 2x + 3

----------------------------

So f '' (x) = sin(x) + cos(x) becomes f(x) = -sin(x) - cos(x) + 2x + 3 when f(0) = 2 and f ' (0) = 1

The last step is to replace every x with theta so that we get back to the original variable.

f(x) = -sin(x) - cos(x) + 2x + 3   turns into   f(θ) = -sin(θ) - cos(θ) + 2θ + 3

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 95 inches long. One leg is 4 inch(es) longer than the other. Find the lengths of the legs of the triangle. Round your answers to the nearest tenth of an inch.

Answers

Answer:

65.1 and 69.1

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

c=95

b=a+4

Solve for a^2+(a+4)^2=95^2

a=65.1

b=a+4=69.1

Answer:

65.1 and 69.1

Step-by-step explanation:

c² = a² + b²

c= 95

a - one leg

b= (a + 4) - second leg

95² = a² + (a + 4)²

9025 = a² + a² + 2*4a + 16

2a² + 8a - 9009 = 0

[tex]a= \frac{-b +/-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\a = \frac{-8 +/-\sqrt{8^2 - 4*2*9009} }{2*2} \\\\a=65.1 \ and \ a=- 69.1[/tex]

A leg length can be only positive. a = 65.1

b = 65.1 + 4 = 69.1

The relationship of variance and mean informs researchers about the spread of data. If a researcher calculates the mean abundance per unit area of a species, and then calculates the variance, the relationship between mean and variance will reflect the distribution pattern.
Which distribution pattern pictured below will have variance greater than the mean?

Answers

Answer:

The distribution pattern that will have variance greater than mean is one where the population of species is clustered and thus far from the mean abundance of species per unit area.

This distribution pattern can be found, using the POISSON distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Variance is a measure of dispersion while Mean is a measure of central tendency.

The mean is the average of all values (in this case, the abundance or concentration of species per unit area). It is the sum total of all values, divided by the number of values there are.

The variance of a given set of data, on the other hand, is a measure of the spread or distance or dispersal of the data from the mean. It measures the spread between each datum/value and the mean value.

The relationship between mean and variance surely reflects the pattern that the distribution will take. The kind of distribution pattern that will have a greater variance than mean is a Poisson distribution. Sample size is usually large here. Since the variance is greater than the mean, the population is a clustered or clumped distribution.

A club is choosing 2 members to serve on a committee. The club has nominated 2 women and 4 men. Based on chance alone, what is the probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee

Answers

Answer:

53.33% probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the members are chosen is not important, so we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

What is the probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee?

Desired outcomes:

One woman, from a set of 2, and one man, from a set of 4. So

[tex]D = C_{2,1}*C_{4,1} = \frac{2!}{1!1!}*\frac{4!}{1!3!} = 8[/tex]

Total outcomes:

Two members from a set of 2 + 4 = 6. So

[tex]T = C_{6,2} = \frac{6!}{2!4!} = 15[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{8}{15} = 0.5333[/tex]

53.33% probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the maximum height reached by the rocket , to the nearest 100th of a foot. y=-16x^2+230x+112

Answers

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the rocket is of 938.56 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height y, after x seconds, is given by a equation in the following format:

[tex]y(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c[/tex]

If a is negative, the maximum height is:

[tex]y(x_{v})[/tex]

In which

[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]y(x) = -16x^{2} + 230x + 112[/tex]

So

[tex]a = -16, b = 230, c = 112[/tex]

Then

[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{230}{2*(-16)} = 7.1875[/tex]

[tex]y(7.1835) = -16*(7.1835)^{2} + 230*7.1835 + 112 = 938.56[/tex]

The maximum height reached by the rocket is of 938.56 feet.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=50x+75[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When writing a linear equation from a graph, we need to find two things: the y-intercept (what y is when x is 0) and the slope.

First, let us find the y-intercept.

To do this, we can just look at the graph. When x=0, y=75, so 75 is our y-intercept, which is also known as b.

To find the slope of this line, we will need to look at two points

We already know that (0,75) is a point. From the graph, we can see that (1,125) is also a point on this line.

Now, we can find the slope of this line using the following formula [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{125-75}{1-0} \\\\m=\frac{50}{1} \\\\m=50[/tex]

Now that we have both the y-intercept and slope, we can put them together in the form of [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

[tex]y=50x+75[/tex]

Answer:

Slope: 50

Equation: y = 50x + 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Take two points:

(2,175)

(3,225)

Find the slope:

225 - 175/3 - 2

50/1 = 50

So we get this equation:

y = 50x + b

Now to find b, insert one of those points from before back in:

175 = 50(2) + b

175 = 100 + b

b = 75

So the equation is:

y = 50x + 75

Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

(71.28, 78.72)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information from the statement:

mean (m) = 75

sample standard deviation (sd) = 5

Sample size (n) = 13

Significance level (alpha) = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02

Degrees of freedom for t-d (df) = n - 1 = 13 - 1 = 12

The critical value would be:

t (alpha / 2) / df = T (0.01) / 12 = 2,681 (this for the table)

Margin of error equals:

E = t (alpha / 2) / df * sd / n ^ (1/2), replacing:

E = 2,681 * 5/13 ^ (1/2)

E = 3.72

Therefore, the interval of 98% confidence interval would be:

75 + 3.72 = 78.72

75 - 3.72 = 71.28

An alternative is to find the area of one smallest triangle, and then multiply that by 4 to get the total area of the rhombus. You should find the area of one smallest triangle to be 0.5*base*height = 0.5*4*3 = 6, which quadruples to 24.

at an ice cream shop, thirty cups of ice cream costs $105. what is the cost of one cup of ice cream? what is the cost of 18 cups of ice cream??

Answers

Divide 150 by 30 to get 3.50 then you have your answer for one cup. Then multiply 3.50 by 18 to get your answer for 18 cups

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Price per cup: $3.5

Price for 18 cups: $63.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of a single cup of ice cream, we can set up an equation where 'x' equals the price of a cup of ice cream.

30x = 105

Divide both sides by 30:

x = $3.5.

To find the cost of 18 cups, simply multiply this price by 18:

18 × 3.5 = $63 dollars. This is the price for 18 cups of ice cream.

The line y = kx + 4, where k is a constant, is
graphed in the xy-plane. If the line contains the
point (c,d), where c ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0, what is the slope
of the line in terms of c and d ?​

Answers

Answer:

(d - 4) / c

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line in terms of c and d is (d - 4) / c.

Here, we have,

To find the slope of the line in terms of the coordinates of the point (c, d), we can use the slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope.

In the given equation, y = kx + 4, we can see that the coefficient of x is k, which represents the slope of the line.

Since the line contains the point (c, d), we can substitute these values into the equation:

d = kc + 4

To isolate the slope term, we rearrange the equation:

d - 4 = kc

Now, divide both sides by c:

(d - 4) / c = k

Therefore, the slope of the line in terms of c and d is (d - 4) / c.

A motorboat can maintain a constant speed of 28 miles
per hour relative to the water. The boat makes a trip
upstream to a certain point in 35 minutes; the return trip
takes 21 minutes. What is the speed of the current?

Answers

Answer:

7mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Time Taken to go upstream Tup = 35 min

Time Taken to go downstream Tdown=21 min.

Let the absolute speed (i.e speed relative to the stationary riverbed) be :

Vup : going upstream

Vdown: going downstream.

We know that the distance traveled upstream = distance traveled downstream, hence we can equate both distances, i.e. :

Distance Traveled Upstream = Distance Traveled Downstream

Vup · Tup = Vdown · Tdown   (substituting the values for time above)

35Vup = 21Vdown

Vup = (21/35) Vdown ------------(eq 1)

We are also given that the motorboat can travel at V = 28 mph relative to the water.

Since going upstream, we are going AGAINST the current, relative to the riverbed, we expect to be travelling slower. In fact, the absolute difference between the speed relative to the water (i.e V = 28 mph) and the speed relative to the seabed (i.e Vup), is equal to the speed of the current.

The same can be said for going downstream WITH the current, that the absolute difference between V = 28mph and Vdown is also equal to the speed of the current.

Hence we can equate the two:

28 - Vup = Vdown - 28

Vup + Vdown = 2(28)

Vup + Vdown = 56 ---------------------(eq 2)

If we solve the system of equations (eq 1) and (eq2), we will get

Vup = 21 mph and Vdown = 35 mph

(sanity check tells us that this makes sense because we expect to be going slower upstream because we are going against the current)

Hence current speed

= 28-Vup

= 28 - 21

= 7 mph. (answer)

Sanity Check:

Current speed can also be written:

= Vdown-28

= 35 - 28

= 7 mph (same as what we found above, so this checks out)

The speed of the current motorboat = 7 mph

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Speed of boat in still water = 28 mph

Let the speed of stream = w

Here, The upstream time is 35 min = 35/60 h = 7/12 h

downstream time is 21 min = 21/60 h = 7/20 hours

Since, The distance (d = vt) traveled either way is the same, but at different speeds and times.

Hence, Set upstream and downstream distances (vt) equal and solve for w as;

⇒ (28 - w)(7/12) = (28 + w)(7/20)

⇒ 20 (28 - w) = 12 (28 + w)

⇒ 5(28 - w) = 3(28 + w)

⇒ 140 - 5w = 84 + 3w

⇒ 140 - 84 = 5w + 3w

⇒ 56 = 8w

⇒ w = 7

Thus, The speed of the current = 7 mph
