A boat heading out to sea starts out at Point AA, at a horizontal distance of 968 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 7^{\circ} ∘ . At some later time, the crew measures the angle of elevation from point BB to be 3^{\circ} ∘ . Find the distance from point AA to point BB. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1

As the distance from the lighthouse, LH, increases, the angle of elevation,

reduces.

The distance from point A to point B is approximately 1,269.9 feet.

Reasons:

The distance of point A from the light house = 968 feet

Angle of elevation from point A to the lighthouse =

Angle of elevation from point B to the lighthouse =

Required:

The distance from point A to point B.

Solution:

[tex]\displaystyle tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite \, side \, to\, angle}{Adjacent\, side \, to\, angle} = \mathbf{\frac{Height \ from \ sea \ to \ the \ light \ house }{Horizontal \ from \ boat \ to \ the\ LH}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle tan(7^{\circ}) = \mathbf{\frac{Height \ from \ sea \ to \ the \ light \ house }{968 \ feet}}[/tex]

Height to the lighthouse = tan(7°) × 968 feet  ≈ 118.86 feet

From point B, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle tan(3^{\circ}) = \mathbf{ \frac{118.86 \ feet }{Horizontal \ distance \ from \ point \ B\ to \ LH}}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle Horizontal \ distance \ from \ boat \ to \ LH = \frac{118.86 \ feet }{tan(3^{\circ})} \approx \mathbf{2237.9 \, feet}[/tex]

Therefore;

Distance from A to B = D

D = Horizontal distance from B to LH - Horizontal distance from A to LH

Distance from A to B = 2237.9 feet - 968 feet ≈ 1269.9 feet

The distance from point A to point B, D ≈ 1,269.9 feet

Find the inequality represented by the graph.

Answers

Answer:

y ≤ -1/3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope and y-intercept and write equation in form of

y = mx + b;  m = slope and b = y-intercept

if you start at (0,1) and move down and to the right to (3,0) you get a slope equal to -1/3

we can see by looking at the graph that the y-intercept is 1

therefore, y ≤ -1/3x + 1

The total number of gallons of water in a tank, w, after t minutes is given in the table and the graph below. What is an equation showing the relationship between w and t? A. w = 2t B. w = 2 + t C. w = 4t D. w = 4 + t

Answers

Answer:

C. w = 4t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine the way t and w are related to each other, one point at a time starting with (0, 0). This point really doesn't tell us much, but we do know that this relationship must be proportional since any line that goes through the origin (the point (0, 0)) is proportional. we can rule out B. 2 + t and D. 4 + t since neither of these go through the origin. 2 + t goes through the point (0, 2) and 4 + t goes through the point (0, 4).

Now, we have two options left: A. w = 2t and C. w = 4t. Which one is correct? Well, let's look at the point (1, 4). 1 × 2 is not equal to 4, but 1 × 4 is equal to 4, so C. w = 4t must be the correct option.

We can test this on the rest of the points as well: 2 × 4 = 8 and 3 × 4 = 12. Hopefully that's helpful! If you have questions or need clarification on anything, let me know. :)

Answer:

y = -1/3x - 5

Introduction:

The slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + b. Now, let's start out by solving the slope.

Step-by step explanation:

=> Slope = rise/run = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]=> Slope = [tex]\frac{-3- (-7) }{-6-6 }[/tex]=> Slope = [tex]\frac{4}{-12}[/tex]=> Slope = [tex]\frac{-1}{3}[/tex]

Since we have found the slope, let's find the y-intercept to create our equation.

=> y-intercept = -5

Conclusion:

Therefore, our new equation is y = -1/3x - 5

Use the diagonals to determine whether a parallelogram with vertices A(2, 7), B(7, 9), C(5, 4), and D(0, 2) is a rectangle, rhombus, or square. Give all the names that apply.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B have among each other the same distance relation as D and C : +5 in x, and +2 in y direction

and D and A have among each other the same distance relation as C and B : +2 in x, and +5 in y direction.

that means the slope of the first pair of sides is 2/5, and the slope of the second pair of sides is 5/2.

and that means that these 2 pairs of lines are not perpendicular (for this not only would we need to have the ratio upside down but also the sign would need to be flipped). there are no 90° angles.

so, there is no rectangle or square.

but because the sums of x and y coordinate differences are the same, we have the same distances between neighboring points.

and that makes it a rhombus.

suppose+the+population+of+a+small+town+is+16000+and+growing+exponentially+at+2.2+%.+how+many+years+until+the+population+reaches+25000?

Answers

Answer:

  20.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is given by the exponential function ...

  p = 16000·(1 +0.022)^t

When p = 25000, we can find the value of t by taking logarithms.

  log(25000/16000) = t·log(1.022) . . . . . divide by 16000, take the log

  t = log(25/16)/log(1.022) ≈ 20.5 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

It will take about 20.5 years for the population to reach 25000.

Step-by-step explanation:

analyse the transformation first

From the dotted function, when compared to the solid black line, is moved 3 units to the left, and moved upwards by 5 units

Input transformation

In graphing, when a value is shifted horizontally, its transformation is equal to: -(x2-x1), and in this instance, we end up with a value of +3so, f(x+3) is the first componentWhen a function is shifted horizontally, it is proportiante to the distance it moves, so (y2-y1)in this instance, it is 0 - -5=5so the transformation vertically is +5

Final answer, when all values are added is y=f(x+3)+5
