The horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship is 485.2 feet.

<h3>What is trigonometric ratio?</h3>

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of right angled triangle.

Let d represent the horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship. Since the angle of depression is 67°, hence:

Angle = 90 - 67 = 23°

Using trig ratio:

tan(23) = d/1143

d = 485.2 feet

The horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship is 485.2 feet.

Match the following items by evaluating the expression for x = -2.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

1)  -4

2) -3

3) 1

4) -2

5) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information given in the exercise, the value of "x" is:

x = -2

Then:

1) You must substitute  x = -2 into the expresion x-2:

=(-2)-2

Now, you must evaluate:

=-4

2) You have to substitute the given value of "x" into the second expression:

x-1=(-2)-1

Finally, evaluating, you get the following result:

=-3

3) According to the Zero exponent Rule, any non-zero number with an exponent of zero is equal to 1.

Then, substituting x = -2 into the expression x^0 and then evaluating, you get:

x^0=(-2)^0=1

4) By definition:

 a^1=a

Then, substituting   x = -2 into x^1 and evaluating, you get:

x^1=(-2)^1=-2

5) Since:

 a^2=a*a

When you substitute the given value of "x" into the last expression and then  you evaluate, you get:

x^2=(-2)^2=(-2)(-2)=4
