The measure of the angle of depression from the helicopter to the girl’s line of sight is 67 degrees.

<h3>What is a right angle triangle?</h3>

A right angle triangle has one of its angle as 90 degrees. The sides and angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

Therefore, angle of depression from the helicopter can be found as follows:

tan x = opposite / adjacent

where

x = angle of depression

Hence,

tan x = 660 / 280

tan x = 2.35714285714

x = tan⁻¹ 2.35714285714

x = 67.1231281953

x = 67°

Therefore, the measure of the angle of depression from the helicopter to the girl’s line of sight is 67 degrees.

suppose the circumference of a crop circle is 150.7968 hectometers (hm) what's the radius of the circle? (usett=3.1416)

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The radius of the circle is $24\ hm$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of a circle is equal to

$C=2\pi r$

In this problem we have

$C=150.7968\ hm$

$\pi=3.1416$

substitute and solve for r

$150.7968=2(3.1416)r$

$r=150.7968/(2(3.1416))=24\ hm$

DedPeter [7]

Pi: Irrational
√(2/3): Irrational

0.57575757 is rational
and -1/2 is rational.
I hope this helps.

For which value(s) of x will the rational expression below equal zero? Check all that apply.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

x = 5 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function of x to be;

f(x) = (x-5)(x+2)/x+1

The value of x that will make the function zero can be calculated for by equating the given function to zero first to have;

If f(x) = 0, then;

(x-5)(x+2)/x+1 = 0

Cross multiplying;

(x-5)(x+2) = 0

(x-5) = 0 and x+2 = 0

x = 5 and x = -2

The value of x that will make the function zero is therefore 5 and -2

The exponential function, f(x)=2^x, undergoes two transformations to g(x)=3x2^x+5. How does the graph change? Select all that ap

Shalnov [3]

Answer: Options A and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent exponential function has the form:

$f(x)=b^x$

This can be transformated as following:

When you multiply the function by a factor <em>a</em> ( $a*f(x)$ )<em> </em>and <em>a>0 </em>, then the function is vertically stretched.

When you add a number <em>k</em> to the parent function, the function is shifted up ( $f(x)+k$ )

The parent function given in the problem is:

$f(x)=2^x$

To obtain the function $g(x)=3*2^x+5$ , the parent function is multiplied by a factor 3 (which is greater than 0) and the number 5 is added.

Therefore, the graph is shifted up and vertically stretched.
