A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, where Luis is watching from a vertical distance of 107 feet above the water. Luis measur

es an angle of depression to the boat at point A to be 10 degrees. At some later time, Luis takes another measurement and finds the angle of depression to the boat (now at point B) to be 39 degrees. Find the distance from point A to point B. Round your answer to the nearest foot if necessary.

Using the slope concept, it is found that the distance from point A to point B is of 465 feet.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the vertical change divided by the horizontal change, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

To find the horizontal position at point A, we have that:

tan(10º) = 107/dA

dA = 107/tan(10º)

dA = 607.

For the horizontal position at point B, we have that:

tan(37º) = 107/dB

dB = 107/tan(37º)

dB = 142.

Hence the distance is given by:

D = dA - dB = 607 - 142 = 465.

Whats 25% of 90 in full explanation
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 22.5 because you convert 25% to a decimal which equals .25. To make the percent a decimal, you move it two times to the left.

Then multiply

90 • .25 = 22.5

Based on its degree, what kind of polynomial is this <br><br> h(x)= -6x^3+2x-5
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

cubic polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial is \[h(x)=-6x^{3}+2x-5\]

A polynomial of degree 1 is a linear polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 2 is a quadratic polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 3 is a cubic polynomial.

In this case the exponent with the maximum value in the polynomial is 3.

Hence the degree of the polynomial h(x) is 3.

Hence the given polynomial is a cubic polynomial.

Which expression should you simplify to find the 90% confidence interval,
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

0.45 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{36}}=0.2870.45 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{36}}=0.613

we can conclude at 95% of confidence that the true proportion of interest for this case is between 0.287 and 0.613

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimated proportion of interest is \hat p=0.45

We need to find a critical value for the confidence interval using the normla standard distributon. For this case we have 95% of confidence, then the significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025.

And the critical value is:z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The confidence interval for the true population proportion is interest is given by this formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

Replacing the values provided we got:

0.45 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{36}}=0.287\\\\0.45 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{36}}=0.613

And we can conclude at 95% of confidence that the true proportion of interest for this case is between 0.287 and 0.613

Physics students were modeling the height of a ball once it was dropped from the top of a 10 foot ladder. The
julsineya [31]

Answer:

<em>Interval notation: [0, 2.236]</em>

<em>Set Builder notation: </em>\{t\ |\ 0\le t\le 2.236\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Equation of height of the ball dropped from a height of 10 foot, as:

h(t) = 10 - 2t^2

Where t is the time since the ball was dropped.

To find:

The domain of the function in Interval and set builder notation.

Solution:

<em>Domain of a function </em>is defined as the set of valid input values that can be given to the function for which the function is defined.

Here, input is time.

We can not have negative values for time.

Therefore, starting value for time will be <em>0 seconds</em>.

And the value of height can not be lesser than that of 0 ft.

0= 10 - 2t^2\\\Rightarrow 2t^2=10\\\Rightarrow t^2=5\\\Rightarrow t =2.236\ seconds

Maximum value for time can be 2.236 seconds.

Therefore the domain is:

<em>Interval notation: [0, 2.236]</em>

<em>Set Builder notation: </em>\{t\ |\ 0\le t\le 2.236\}
