The distance between point A and point B is 371 ft if the Mason measures an angle of depression to the boat at point A to be 16°.

<h3>What is trigonometry?</h3>

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationship between sides and angles of a right-angle triangle.

We have:

A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, where Mason is watching from a vertical distance of 122 feet above the water. Mason measures an angle of depression to the boat at point A to be 16°.

We can draw the above situation as a form of a right-angle triangle.

From the figure, the distance between AB is x ft

From the right angle triangle DBC:

tan66 = 122/CB

CB = 54.31 ft

From the right angle triangle DAC

tan16 = 122/AC

AC = 425.46 ft

x = AC - CB

x = 425.46 - 54.31

x = 371.15 ft ≈ 371 ft

Thus, the distance between point A and point B is 371 ft if the Mason measures an angle of depression to the boat at point A to be 16°.

Consider the following equation. 9x2 − y2 = 6 (a) Find y' by implicit differentiation. y' = (b) Solve the equation explicitly fo

qaws [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is an equation in x and y as

$9x^2 - y^2 = 6$

We use implicit method to differentiate the above equation

18x-2yy'=0

y' = 9x/y

b) to solve the equation explicitly for y and differentiate to get y' in terms of x. y' = ±

We separate the variables as

$yy' =9x\\\frac{y^2}{2} =\frac{9x^2}{2} +C\\y^2 =9x^2+2C$

Take square root

$y=\sqrt{9x^2+2C} \\y=-\sqrt{9x^2+2C}$

A soccer team scores 12 points in 5 matches. They scored the same number of points in each of their first 3 matches and one more

NeX [460]

Answer:

2 points the first 3 matches then 3 points the last 2 matches

Step-by-step explanation:

12 points in 5 matches and the first 3 are all the same then the other 2 increased by 1 point

They got 2 points the first 3 matches then 3 points the last 2 matches

2 + 2 + 2 (first 3 matches) = 6

3 + 3 (last 2 matches) = 6

6 + 6 = 12

Answer:

4xy+24y^2−7x−38y−7

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7+4y) (6y+x+1)

-7*6y= -42y

-7*x= -7x

-7*1= -7

4y*6y= 24y²

4y*x= 4yx

4x*1= 4y

Benito spent $1616 to operate his car last year. Some of these expenses are listed below. Benito's only other expense was for ga

Verizon [17]

Subtract all the operating expenses from the amount he spent total and get what's left over is $491. That's what he spent on gas. Divide the number of miles he drove by the amount he spent on the gas to find out what the average cost of the gas was per mile. 491/7270 = .06753. But that is expressed in dollars and we need it in cents. Multiply that decimal by 100 to get 6.75 cents, choice A from above.
