You are in a hot air balloon looking down at two ponds. Pond A which is in front of your balloon, is at an angle of depression t

hat is your birth month (October), in degrees. (October = 10 degrees). Pond B, which is behind the balloon, is at angle of depression that is your Birth Day in degrees. (October 8 = 8 degrees). The balloon is 875 m in the air.
a. Draw and label a diagram
b. Find the distance from the hot air balloon to both Pond A and B
c. FInd the distance between the two ponds.

a. See attachment for the labelled diagram

b. Using the sine ratio, distance from the hot air to pond A is 5,038.9 m, while distance from the hot air to pond B is 6,287.1 m.

c. Distance between the two ponds is 1,263.5 m.

<h3>What is the Sine and Tangent Ratios?</h3>

Sine ratio, is: sin ∅ = opposite side/hypotenuse length

Tangent ratio is: tan ∅ = opposite side/adjacent length.

a. The diagram with the appropriate labels is shown in the image attached below.

b. Use the sine ratio to find the distance from the hot air to pond A (CA) and to pond B (CB):

CA = hypotenuse

∅ = 10°

Opposite = 875 m

sin 10 = 875/CA

CA = 875/sin 10

CA ≈ 5,038.9 m (distance from the hot air to pond A)

CB = hypotenuse

∅ = 8°

Opposite = 875 m

sin 8 = 875/CB

CB = 875/sin 8

CB ≈ 6,287.1 m (distance from the hot air to pond B)

c. Distance between the two ponds, BA = BD + DA.

Apply the tangent ratio to find BD and DA

tan 8 = 875/BD

BD = 875/tan 8

BD = 6,225.9 m

tan 10 = 875/DA

DA = 875/tan 10

DA = 4,962.4 m

Distance between the two ponds = 6,225.9 - 4,962.4 = 1,263.5 m.

Determine if events A and B are mutually exclusive.

gladu [14]

Answer:

A) Not mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P(A) = \frac{1}{4}$

$P(B) = \frac{3}{5}$

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{7}{10}$

Required

Determine if they are mutually exclusive or not

Mutually exclusive are defined by:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) + P(B)$

So, we have:

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{5}$

Take LCM

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{5+12}{20}$

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{17}{20}$

By comparing:

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{17}{20}$ ---- Calculated

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{7}{10}$ ---- Given

We can conclude that A and B are not mutually exclusive because:

$\frac{17}{20} \ne \frac{7}{10}$

List all x intercepts for y= -cos(1/2x + 1/5 pi) on the interval [-2/5pi,4pi]

Dahasolnce [82]

- cos ( 1/2 x + 1/5 π ) = 0 ( and because if cos α = 0, α= π/2 + k π, k ∈ Z )
1/2 x + π/5 = π/2 + k π, k ∈ Z
1/2 x = π/2 - π/5 + k π / * 2
x = π - 2π/5 + 2 k π
x = 3/5 π + 2 k π = 0.6 π + 2 k π
Answer:
If k = 0: x 1 = 0.6 π = 3π/5
k = 1 : x 2 = 2.6 π = 13π/5

What is the median number of guest for each holiday

Ivan

You have not given the data for which you like to find the median.

I will however explain how you can find the median of a given set of data, and you can apply the same method to your problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Median, just like it sounds, is simply the middle value of a given set of data.

Given a set of numbers:

a, b, c, d, e, ..., z.

To find the median, first,

- Arrange the numbers a, b, c, d, e, ..., ..., z in an ascending or descending order.

- Count the whole numbers, if it is odd, you have a middle number, and that is the median.

If it is even, you have two middle numbers, then the median will be the addition of those two numbers divided by two.

Example: To find the median of

4, 5, 2, 1, 2, 6, 7, 3, 5.

First, we arrange in ascending:

1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7

Next, we locate the middle number(s), which is 4.

The MEDIAN is 4 .

Example 2: To find the median of

9, 4, 5, 2, 1, 2, 6, 7, 3, 5.

First, we arrange in ascending:

1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 9

Next, we locate the middle number(2), which are 4 and 5.

The median = (4 + 5)/2

= 9/2

= 4.5

The MEDIAN is 4.5.
