Answer:

3600 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

person A has 7 places to choose from :

→ He has 2 places ,one to the extreme left of the line ,the other to the extreme right of the line

If he chose one of those two ,person B will have 5 choices and the other 5 persons will have 5! Choices.

⇒ number of arrangements = 2×5×5! = 1 200

→ But Person A also , can choose one of the 5 places in between the two extremes .

If he chose one of those 5 ,person B will have 4 choices and the other 5 persons wil have 5! Choices.

⇒ number of arrangements = 5×4×5! = 2 400

In Total they can be arranged in :

1200 + 2400 = 3600 ways

Marsha sees an airplane flying overhead. The spot on the ground that is directly under the plane is 3,600 feet from Marsha's hou

Rudiy27

The elevation of the plane is 3600 ft

Let

h = elevation of plane,
d = distance from Marsha's house to spot on ground below plane = 3600 feet and
Ф = angle of elevation of plane = 45°

From the triangle, we have the trigonometric ratio

tanФ = h/D

<h3>Elevation of the plane</h3>

Making h subject of the formula, we have

h = DtanФ

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = DtanФ

h = 3600 ft × tan45°

h = 3600 ft × 1

h = 3600 ft

So, the elevation of the plane is 3600 ft

SOS I'm terrible at math.

Tresset [83]

<span>y = -5 cos x is a basic (simple) variation of the basic trig function y = cos x.

The given </span>y = -5 cos x could be re-written as <span>y = -5 cos 1x.
Compare this to the most general form: y = a cos bx.

Here we see that the coefficient b equals 1.

There is a rule for finding the period of such a function: Period = 2pi/b.

Since b = 1 here, the Period here is 2pi/1, or simply 2pi.

Please stop saying "I'm terrible with math." That does not help you at all. Say, instead, "With just a little help I could understand this just fine."</span>
