A boat heading out to sea starts out at Point A, at a horizontal distance of 639 feet from a lighthouse/the shore. From that point, the boat's crew measures the angle of elevation to the lighthouse's beacon-light from that point to be 11 degrees . At some later time, the crew measures the angle of elevation from point B to be . Find the 3 degrees distance from point A to point B. Round your answer to the nearest foot if necessary .

Answer:

  1731 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent relation is useful in this problem.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The height of the light is found to be ...

  tan(11°) = height/(639 ft)

  height = (639 ft)·tan(11°) . . . . . solve for height

Then the distance from the light to point B is ...

  tan(3°) = height/(B distance)

  B distance = height/tan(3°) = (639 ft)·tan(11°)/tan(3°) ≈ 2370 ft

Then the distance from point A to point B is ...

  2370 ft -639 ft = 1731 ft . . . AB distance

Answer 2

Tangent or tanθ in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. The distance between points A and B is 1731 feet.

What is Tangent (Tanθ)?

The tangent or tanθ in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. it is given as,

[tex]\rm{Tangent(\theta) = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}[/tex]

where,

θ is the angle,

Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,

The base is the adjacent smaller side of the angle θ.

As it is given that the distance between the lighthouse and point A is 639 feet, while the angle of elevation from that point is 11°. therefore, using the tan function, the height of the lighthouse,

[tex]\rm Tan(\theta) = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\Tan(11^o) = \dfrac{CD}{CA}\\\\Tan(11^o) = \dfrac{CD}{639}\\\\Tan(11^o) \times 639 = CD\\\\[/tex]

As we know that CD is the height of the lighthouse, now

In Δ BCD

The tan function for the distance between the lighthouse and point B can be written as,

[tex]\rm Tan(\theta) = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\Tan(3^o) = \dfrac{CD}{CA}\\\\Tan(3^o) = \dfrac{Tan(11^o) \times 639}{CA}\\\\CA = 2370\ ft.[/tex]

Hence, the distance between the lighthouse and Point B is 2370 ft.

Now, we know the distance between the lighthouse and Point A, and the distance between the lighthouse and Point B, therefore,

The Distance between Point A and B (AB) = CB - CA

                                                                       = 2370 - 639

                                                                       = 1731 ft.

lim┬(x→0)⁡〖(√(1+x+x^2 )-1)/tan⁡5x 〗

Answers

Evaluting the limand directly at x = 0 yields the indeterminate form 0/0, so we have a candidate for L'Hopital's rule. We get

[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sqrt{1+x+x^2}-1}{\tan(5x)} = \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\frac{1+2x}{2\sqrt{1+x+x^2}}}{5\sec^2(5x)} = \frac{1+2\times0}{2\sqrt{1+0+0^2}\times5\sec^2(5\times0)} = \boxed{\dfrac{1}{10}}[/tex]

If you don't know about L'Hopital's rule, or are otherwise not allowed to use it, you can instead rely on algebraic manipulation and a well-known limit,

[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin(ax)}{ax}=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{ax}{\sin(ax)}=1[/tex]

where a ≠ 0. We write

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt{1+x+x^2}-1}{\tan(5x)} = \frac{5x}{\sin(5x)}\times\frac{\cos(5x)}5\times\frac{\sqrt{1+x+x^2}-1}x[/tex]

The limit of a product is equal to the product of limits:

[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sqrt{1+x+x^2}-1}{\tan(5x)} = \left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{5x}{\sin(5x)}\right)\times\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\cos(5x)}5\right)\times\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sqrt{1+x+x^2}-1}x\right)[/tex]

The first limit is 1 and the second limit is 1/5. For the remaining limit, multiply through the fraction by the conjugate of the numerator:

[tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{1+x+x^2}-1}x\times\dfrac{\sqrt{1+x+x^2}+1}{\sqrt{1+x+x^2}+1} = \dfrac{\left(\sqrt{1+x+x^2}\right)^2-1^2}{x\left(\sqrt{1+x+x^2}+1\right)} \\\cdots= \dfrac{x+x^2}{x\left(\sqrt{1+x+x^2}+1\right)} \\\cdots= \dfrac{1+x}{\sqrt{1+x+x^2}+1}[/tex]

The remaining limand is continuous at x = 0, and its limit is

[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{1+x}{\sqrt{1+x+x^2}+1}=\frac{1+0}{\sqrt{1+0+0^2}+1}=\frac12[/tex]

and hence the original limit is again 1 × 1/5 × 1/2 = 1/10.

Opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal so the upper left angle is 120

Call the 3x +z = 120

We also know that 2x+90 +z = 180 since it forms a straight line

Subtract 90 from each side

2x+z = 90

3x+z = 120

What is mean by Probability?

The term probability refers to the likelihood of an event occurring. Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one.

Given that:

Total number of students,

⇒ n = 1500,

And, Age : 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Probability : 0.01, 0.25, 0.27, 0.30, 0.16, 0.01

Now,

We can Calculate the expected value as shown below,

E = 13 × 0.01 + 14 × 0.25 + 15 × 0.27 + 16 × 0.30 + 17 × 0.16 + 18 × 0.01

E = 0.13 + 3.5 + 4.05 + 4.8 + 2. 72 + 0.18

E = 15.38

Therefore, The expected value for the age of a randomly chosen student is 15.

Answers

I believe it is b. 24

The square of z varies inversely as the square root of e. If z=36 when w=16, then value of z is 24 when w=81.

What is Ratio?

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0.

The square of z varies inversely as the square root of e.

If z=36 when w=16

The value of z when w is 81 we need to find

z²=k/√e

where k is a proportionality constant

36²=k/√16

36²=k/4

Apply cross multiplication

1296(4)=k

5184=k

Now let us find when k is 5184 and w is 81

z²=5184/9

z²=576

Take square root on both sides

z=24

Hence, the value of z is 24 when w is 81.

It is believed that 25% of U.S. homes have a direct satellite television receiver. How large a sample is necessary to estimate the true population of homes which do with 95% confidence and within 3 percentage points?

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 801 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

25% of U.S. homes have a direct satellite television receiver.

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.25[/tex]

How large a sample is necessary to estimate the true population of homes which do with 95% confidence and within 3 percentage points?

This is n for which M = 0.03. So

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 800.3[/tex]

-pick any two points on the graph that belong to the line,

for example (1,1) and (2,3)

-find out how did you get from one point to the other

to get from (1,1) to (2,3) I went 2 up (rise) and 1 to the right (run)

slope= rise /run = 2/1 =2

Few things to keep in mind:

-To find the slope, always move vertical first (y-axis) and than horizontal( x-axis) , because m=change in y/change in x

-For vertical movement, moving up is positive , moving down is negative

For horizontal movement, moving right is positive , moving left is negative
