Answer:

9.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal distance to the tree, the height of thr tree above 1.6 m, and the direct line of vision to the top of the tree form a right triangle.

The distance to the tree is the adjacent leg.

The height of the tree above 1.6 m is the opposite leg.

tan Θ = opp/adj

tan 48° = opp/7.2

opp = 7.2 m × tan 48°

opp = 8.0 m

Now we add the length of the opposite leg of the triangle to her height.

height = 8.0 m + 1.6 m

height = 9.6 m

A population of butterflies grows in such a way that each generation is simply 1.5 times the previous generation. There were 350
kap26 [50]

Answer:

378.5 or just 378

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by.  When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)

The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.

Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.

If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:

y = 1.5(19) + 350

y = 378.5

Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378

Prove sin^2 theta-sin^2 theta is sin tetha sin 3 theta<br><br>how to prove..pls help!! thanksss
Artemon [7]
Simply you can substitute theta=45 degrees (or any angle,not zero) in left hand side and right hand side.

or 

using a^2 - b^2 =(a+b)(a-b)

= sin(2x+x)sin(2x-x)
= sin 3x sin x

Find an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence 12, 5, -2, -9,...
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

an = 12 -7(n-1)

an = 19-7n

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1 +d(n-1) where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference

a1 =12

We find d by taking the second term and subtracting the first term

d = 5-12

d = -7

an = 12 -7(n-1)

We can simplify this

an = 12 -7n+7

an = 19-7n

What is 144/36 simplified?
NARA [144]
144/36 in lowest terms is 4.


To show my work, here.


1. Find the GCF of 144 and 36 so now we divide (144/36 = 4 and 36/36 is 1)

2. Now we have 4/1 so we simplify again so divide 4/1 and its 4
