A boat spots a helicopter at an angle of elevation of 40 degree that is reporting a height of 900 feet above the water. How far is the horizontal distance from the boat to the helicopter?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1072.58feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Angle of elevation = 40degrees

Height of helicopter above the water = 900feet

Required

Horizontal distance H

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

tan 40 = 900/H

H = 900/tan40

H = 900/0.8391

H = 1,072.58feet

Hence the horizontal distance from the boat to the helicopter is 1072.58feet

For the linear function f(x) = -2x+1 , find the following
a. Slope and Y-intercept.
b. Is the function increasing, decreasing, or constant, justify your answer.
c. Graph the function, label x, and y-intercepts.

Answers

Given:

The function is:

[tex]f(x)=-2x+1[/tex]

To find:

a. Slope and Y-intercept.

b. Is the function increasing, decreasing, or constant, justify your answer.

c. Graph the function, label x, and y-intercepts.

Solution:

a. We have,

[tex]f(x)=-2x+1[/tex]                  ...(i)

The slope intercept form of a line is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]                    ...(ii)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]m=-2,b=1[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2 and the y-intercept is 1.

b. If the slope of a linear function is negative, then the function is decreasing.

If the slope of a linear function is positive, then the function is increasing.

If the slope of a linear function is 0, then the function is constant.

The slope of the linear function is negative.

Therefore, the function is decreasing.

c. We have,

[tex]f(x)=-2x+1[/tex]

At [tex]x=0[/tex], we get

[tex]f(0)=-2(0)+1[/tex]

[tex]f(0)=1[/tex]

So, the y-intercept is at (0,1).

At [tex]f(x)=0[/tex], we get

[tex]0=-2x+1[/tex]

[tex]2x=1[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=0.5[/tex]

So, the x-intercept is at [tex]\left(0.5,0\right)[/tex].

The sum of two numbers is 90. Their difference is 18. Find
the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

36 & 54

Step-by-step explanation:

By Question :-

Sum of numbers = 90 .Difference of numbers = 18 .

Let :-

First Number be x .Second number be y .

According to 1st condition :-

[tex]: \implies[/tex] x + y = 90

According to 2nd condition :-

[tex]: \implies[/tex] x - y = 18

Adding the equations :-

[tex]: \implies[/tex] 2x = 18 + 90

[tex]: \implies[/tex] 2x = 108

[tex]: \implies[/tex] x = 54

Therefore :-

[tex]: \implies[/tex] First number = 54

[tex]: \implies[/tex] Second number = 36

C) {9, 12, 16, ..., 37}
D) {12, 16, 20, 24, ...}
E) {12, 16, 20, ..., 36}

PLEASE HELP RNNNN

Answers

Answer: the answer is either e or d but I guessed d

Step-by-step explanation:

The equivalent set to set S will be {12, 16, 20, ..., 36} thus, option (E) is correct.

What is a set?

A set is a collection of distinct values where each variable's meaning must be the same.

For instance, the set of natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 is made up of variables that each represent a different natural number.

As per the given,

x is the multiple of 4,

4,8,12..

But is it restricted in the domain as, 9 ≤ x < 37

Thus, {12, 16, 20, ..., 36} will be correct.

Hence "The equivalent set to set S will be {12, 16, 20, ..., 36}".

What is the value of x in the diagram?
у
X
X-20

Answers

Answer:

y= 35⁰

x = 55⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

total angle of triangle is 180⁰

therefore we can equate:

x + (x-20) + 90 = 180

2x + 70 = 180

x = 55⁰

total of x and y is equal to 90⁰ since it is a right angle;

x + y = 90

x = 55⁰

55⁰ + y = 90

y = 35⁰

If the perimeter of a square is 28 inches and the area of the square is (x2 + 4x + 4) square inches, where x is a positive number, what is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

If the perimeter of a square is 28 inches and the area of the square is (x2 + 4x + 4) square inches, and x is a both a real and a positive number, then the value of x must be 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

All sides of a square are equal length.

The area of a square is the side length squared.

perimeter p, side length s, area a, and variable x.

p = 28.   s = ?   a = x^2 + 4x + 4.   x = ?

p = 28

p = 4s.

28 = 4s.

7 = s.

a = s^2.

s = 7.

a = 7^2.

a = 49.

a = x^2 + 4x + 4.

a = 49.

x^2 + 4x + 4 = 49.

factor x^2 + 4x + 4.

(x+2)(x+2) = 49.

(x+2)^2 = 49.

√ ((x+2)^2) = √49.

take positive answer.

x+2 = 7

x = 5.

Write the equation of a line that passes
through point (-5,3) and is perpendicular to
y=3/5x +2.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-\frac{5}{3}x-\frac{16}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)Perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals (ex. 2 and -1/2, 4/3 and -3/4, etc.)

1) Determine the slope (m)

[tex]y=\frac{3}{5} x +2[/tex]

From the given equation, we can see that [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] is the slope of the line since it's in the place of m. Because perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals, the line we're currently solving for would have a slope of [tex]-\frac{5}{3}[/tex]. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=-\frac{5}{3}x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=-\frac{5}{3}x+b[/tex]

Plug in the given point (-5,3)

[tex]3=-\frac{5}{3}(-5)+b\\3=\frac{25}{3}+b[/tex]

Subtract [tex]\frac{25}{3}[/tex] from both sides to isolate b

[tex]3-\frac{25}{3}=\frac{25}{3}+b-\frac{25}{3}\\-\frac{16}{3} = b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is [tex]-\frac{16}{3}[/tex]. Plug this back into [tex]y=-\frac{5}{3}x+b[/tex]

[tex]y=-\frac{5}{3}x+(-\frac{16}{3})\\y=-\frac{5}{3}x-\frac{16}{3}[/tex]

NEED HELP PLZ!!!!!!George and John travel 392 miles in 7 hours. If they travel at the same rate, how long will it take them to travel 728 miles?

a) Find their rate: _____ mph


b) It took them ____ hours to travel 728 miles

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Find the unit rate, or how many miles they traveled in one hour, by dividing:

[tex]\frac{392}{7}=56 mph[/tex]

b. Now that we know how fast they were going, we can use it in either a proportion or in the d = rt equation. For the proportion set up, put miles on the top and hours on the bottom and solve for the unknown:

[tex]\frac{mi.}{hr}:\frac{56}{1}=\frac{728}{x}[/tex] and cross multiply to solve for x:

56x = 728 so

13 hours.

Now use the d = rt equation:

728 = 56t so

t = 13 hours

An n-sided polygon has one interior angle of 90°. The other interior angles are all equal.
If the size of one of the equal angles is 150°, calculate the value of n.

Answers

n = 10

For a regular polygon:
Each exterior angle = 360 / n
Each interior angle = 180 - 360/n
So sum of interior angles = n(180 - 360/n) = 180n - 360

For your polygon the sum of the interior angles = 90 + 150(n - 1) = 90 + 150n - 150 = 150n - 60

So 180n - 360 = 150n - 60
180n - 150n = -60 + 360
30n = 300
n = 10
