B) 405 m
tan(5) = x/4629
4629tan(5) = 404.9
Round up
x=405 m

Teh slope between two points is calculated by finding the change in y-values and dividing by the change in x-values. for example

Nimfa-mama [501]

Hi there!

The change of y-values is
- 15 - 22 = - 37
The change of x-values is
7 - - 8 = 7 + 8 = 15

Therefore, the slope of this line is
$\frac{ - 37}{15} = - 2 \frac{7}{15}$

Answer: Option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathbf{u}=\langle 70 \cos 230^{\circ}, 70 \sin 230^{\circ} \rangle\\\\\mathbf{v}=\langle 60\cos 140^{\circ}, 60 \sin 140^{\circ} \rangle\\\\\mathbf{w}=\langle 80 \cos 30^{\circ}, 80 \sin 30^{\circ} \rangle\\\\\\\therefore \mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}+\mathbf{w}=\langle 70 \cos 230^{\circ}+60 \cos 140^{\circ}+80 \cos 30^{\circ}, 70 \sin 230^{\circ}+60 \sin 140^{\circ}+80 \sin 30^{\circ} \rangle\\\\ \approx \langle -21.675, 24.944 \rangle$

$\implies |\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}+\mathbf{w}| \approx \sqrt{(-21.675)^2 + (24.944)^2} \approx 33.046$

Direction: The vector is in the second quadrant, so the direction is about $180^{\circ}-\arctan \left(\frac{24.944}{-21.675} \right) \approx 131^{\circ}$

How do you factor 18r^5p^3-12r^3p^5+30rp^4

lozanna [386]

6rp^3 is the greatest common factor. Take that out and see what's left.

= 6rp^3*(3r^4 -2r^2p^2 +5p) . . . . . factors no further

This year, a small business had a total revenue of $45,000. If this is 25% less than their total revenue the previous year, what

morpeh [17]

Let R = total revenue the year before

R = 45,000 x 0.25 + 45,000

R = 11,250 + 45,000

R = $56,250
