A shoreline observation post is located on a cliff such that the observer is 280 feet above sea level. The observer spots a ship approaching the shore and the ship is traveling at a constant speed.

Requried:
a. When the observer initially spots the ship, the angle of depression for the observer's vision is 6 degrees. At this point in time, how far is the ship from the shore?
b. After watching the ship for 43 seconds, the angle of depression for the observer's vision is 16 degrees. At this point in time, how far is the ship from the shore?

Answers

Answer 1

Using the slope concept, it is found that the distances from the shore at each moment are given by:

a) 2664 feet.

b) 976 feet.

What is a slope?

The slope is given by the vertical change divided by the horizontal change, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

Item a:

The vertical distance is of 280 feet, with an angle of . The distance from the shore is the horizontal distance of x. Hence:

[tex]\tan{6^\circ} = \frac{280}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{280}{\tan{6^\circ}}[/tex]

x = 2664.

Item b:

The vertical distance is of 280 feet, with an angle of 16º. The distance from the shore is the horizontal distance of x. Hence:

[tex]\tan{16^\circ} = \frac{280}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{280}{\tan{16^\circ}}[/tex]

x = 976.

Jane has 20 pounds and Charlotte has 16 pounds

Let j = amount Jane has and c = amount Charlotte has

j - 2 = c + 2 if Jane gives Charlotte 2 pounds
j + 4 = 2(c - 4) if Charlotte gives Jane 4 pounds
j + 4 = 2c - 8

Calculating area of rectangle

Your measurments Another student's measurements
Length (cm) 20.70 20.74
Width (cm) 10.44 10.46
Area (cm2)

Required:
Why might two students have different calculated areas when measuring the same rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Area = 216.108cm^2[/tex] --- You

[tex]Area = 216.940cm^2[/tex] --- Another student

Reason: Because there is a variation in the given dimensions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Your measurement

[tex]Length = 20.70cm; Width =10.44cm[/tex]

Another students'

[tex]Length = 20.74cm; Width =10.46cm[/tex]

Solving (a): The area

Area is calculated as:

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

For you

[tex]Area = 20.70cm * 10.44cm[/tex]

[tex]Area = 216.108cm^2[/tex]

For the other student

[tex]Area = 20.74cm * 10.46cm[/tex]

[tex]Area = 216.940cm^2[/tex]

Solving (b): Reason for the variation in the areas

The given measurements are estimates of the dimensions of the rectangle.

Since there is a variation in the estimates, there will be some level of variation in the calculated area.

Out of 350 applicants for a job, 158 are female and 66 are female and have a graduate degree. Step 2 of 2 : If 110 of the applicants have graduate degrees, what is the probability that a randomly chosen applicant is female, given that the applicant has a graduate degree

Answers

Answer:

33/55

Step-by-step explanation:

Total applicants, n(T) = 350

Female applicants, n(F) = 158

Female and Graduate applicants, n(FnG) = 66

Graduates, n(G) = 110

Probability of female Given that applicant has graduate degree; this is a conditional probability problem;

Recall :

P(A given B) = P(A|B) = P(AnB) / P(B)

Therefore ;

P(F|G) = P(FnG) / P(G) = 66 / 110 = 33/55

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

6 is a power. So both C and D are wrong because 6 is being treated as an ordinary integer.

So the answer must be either A or B.

B is not correct because to move an expression from the denominator to the numerator changes the sign in the base (which is m in this  question).

A is correct. the power is changed from 6 in the denominator to -6 in the numerator. m is shifted to the numerator as well.

there're two parts the multiplication the whole part to solve the multiplication part we can consider FOIL and for the whole, PEMDAS which can be represented as

[tex] \rm\displaystyle \rm \displaystyle \underbrace{\underbrace{(5x + 24)(9x + 12) } _{ \text{FOIL - 1}}+ \underbrace{ (3x + 9)(8x + 6)(2x + 7)} _{ \text{FOIL - 2}}} _{ \text{PEMDAS}}[/tex]

let's figure out FOIL-1 part

By FOIL we obtain:

[tex] \displaystyle {45x}^{2} + 60x + 216x + 288[/tex]

simplify addition:

[tex] \displaystyle {45x}^{2} + 276x+ 288[/tex]

let's figure out FOIL-2:

By FOIL and PEMDAS we acquire:

[tex] \rm \displaystyle {48x}^{3 } + {348x}^{2} + 738x + 378[/tex]

finally the whole part

[tex] \rm \displaystyle {45x}^{2} + 60x + 216x + 288+ {48x}^{3 } + {348x}^{2} + 738x + 378[/tex]

What equation will calculate the value in x years? y =

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A(x) = 12000(1.04)^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

[tex]A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

$12000 cash

This means that [tex]P = 12000[/tex]

Compounded at 4% interest annually.

This means that [tex]r = 0.04, n = 1[/tex]

What equation will calculate the value in x years?

[tex]A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]A(x) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nx}[/tex]

[tex]A(x) = 12000(1 + 0.04)^x[/tex]

[tex]A(x) = 12000(1.04)^x[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The projected population in 2026 is of 699.3 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population:

The population, in x years after 2000, is given by the follwing equation:

[tex]y - 4.55x = 581[/tex]

That is:

[tex]y(x) = 4.55x + 581[/tex]

What is projected population in 2026?

2026 - 2000 = 26, so this is y(26).

[tex]y(26) = 4.55(26) + 581 = 699.3[/tex]

The projected population in 2026 is of 699.3 million.

sin(E) = StartFraction 7 Over 25 EndFraction
tan(D) = StartFraction 7 Over 24 EndFraction

Answers

Answer:

Sin(E) = 7/25

Sin(D) = 24/25

Tan(D)= 24/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin=opp/hyp

Tan=opp/adj

Cos=adj/hyp

The trigonometric ratios that are correct for triangle DEF are sin(E) = 7/25, sin(D) = 24/25 and tan(D)= 24/7

How to determine the trigonometric ratios?

The given parameters are:

EF = 24

DF = 7

Start by calculating the length DE using:

DE²= EF² + DF²

So, we have:

DE²= 24² + 7²

Take the square root of both sides

DE= 25

The sine of the angles is calculated using:

sin(Ф) = opp/hyp

So, we have:

sin(E) = 7/25

sin(D) = 24/25

The tangent of the angles is calculated using:

tan(Ф) = opp/adj

So, we have:

tan(D)= 24/7

Hence, the trigonometric ratios that are correct for triangle DEF are sin(E) = 7/25, sin(D) = 24/25 and tan(D)= 24/7
