The distance of the ball from the foot of the tower is : 35.18m

The ball would be moved 57.2m away from the foot of the tower for the Angle of elevation to be halved.

<h3>What is angle of elevation?</h3>

Angle of elevation is the angle formed between the horizontal and the  line of view from the vertical.

Analysis:

The height of the tower and the distance of the ball from the foot of the tower form a right angle triangle.

so we use trigonometry.

a) let distance of the ball from foot of tower be x.

  so that, tan 52 = 45/x

  x = 45/tan52

  x = 45/1.279 = 35.18m

b) let the distance of the ball in the new position from the foot of the tower be y.

if the angle of elevation is halved, then new angle is 52/2 = 26°

 tan 26 = 45/y

y = 45/tan26 = 45/0.487 = 92.4m

distance moved from old position to new position = 92.4 - 35.18 = 57.2m

In conclusion, the distance of the ball from the foot of the tower and the distance the ball should move to make its elevation 26° are 35.18m and 57.2m respectively.

What is the classifications of polynomials -gh4i+3g5
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The polynomial -gh⁴i + 3g⁵ is a binomial, since it has two terms

Degree of polynomial: degree of a polynomial is the term with highest of exponent.

Degree of binomial -gh⁴i + 3g⁵ = 6

1st term(-gh⁴i ) = (power of g = 1, power of h = 4, power of i = 1)

2nd term(3g⁵) = (power of g = 5)

the polynomial -gh⁴i + 3g⁵ is a 6 degree binomial.
