The bearing of the tree from Q is 296.565°

<h3>How to determine the height of the tree?</h3>

The figure that illustrates the bearing and the distance is added as an attachment

The given parameters are:

Base of the tree, b = 50 meters

Angle (x) = 32 degrees

Calculate the height (h) of the tree using:

tan(x) = height/base

So, we have:

tan(32°) = h/50

Make h the subject

h= 50 × tan(32°)

Evaluate

h = 31.24

Hence, the height of the tree is 31.24 meters

<h3>How to determine the distance between Q and the base of the tree?</h3>

The distance (d) between Q and the base of the tree

This is calculated using the following Pythagoras theorem

d = √(100² + 50²)

Evaluate

d = 111.80

Hence, the distance between Q and the base of the tree is 111.80 meters

<h3>How to determine the angle of elevation?</h3>

The angle of elevation (x) using the following tangent trigonometric ratio

tan(x) = h/d

This gives

tan(x) = 31.24/111.80

Evaluate the quotient

tan(x) = 0.2794

Take the arc tan of both sides

x = 15.61

<h3>The bearing of the tree from Q </h3>

This is calculated using:

Angle of bearing = 270 + arctan(50/100)

Evaluate the arc tan

Angle of bearing = 270 + 26.565

Evaluate the sum

Angle of bearing = 296.565

Hence, the bearing of the tree from Q is 296.565 degrees

Solve for w: -4u-w = u+6w

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-4u - w = u + 6w

-4u = u + 7w (Add w to both sides)

-5u = 7w (Subtract u from both sides)

w = $-\frac{5u}{7}$ (Divide both sides by 7)

klio [65]

Answer:

Thirty-two percent of fish in a large lake are bass. Imagine scooping out a simple random sample of 15 fish from the lake and observing the sample proportion of bass. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution? Determine whether the 10% condition is met.

A. The standard deviation is 0.8795. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 150 bass in the lake.

B. The standard deviation is 0.8795. The 10% condition is not met because there are less than 150 bass in the lake.

C. The standard deviation is 0.1204. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 150 bass in the lake.

D. The standard deviation is 0.1204. The 10% condition is not met because there are less than 150 bass in the lake.

E. We are unable to determine the standard deviation because we do not know the sample mean. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 150 bass in the lake

The answer is E.
