Draw a triangle with shortest side on the ground (horiz.).  The length of this side is 80 feet.  Two angles touch the ground:  a right angle, and the 70 degree angle.
 
Then the height of the building is the 2nd shortest side.

The tangent function is the appropriate one to use here:
                       opp          h
tan 70 deg = -------- = ----------
                        adj        80 ft
                                                                h
Since tan 70 deg  = 2.75,          2.75 = -------
                                                              80 ft

so h = building height = (80 ft)(2.75) = 219.8 ft

3. Given this quadratic equation, 2x2 - x - 28 = 0,
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

a) (2x+7)(x-4)

b) x = -7/2 and x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (2x  ?)(x  ?)

set up the above and considered factors of 28 that, when paired with 2, would give me -1x and -28  → (1·28, 2·14, 4·7)

after trial-and-error, found that 4 and 7 worked (used un-FOIL)

b) 2x + 7 = 0

2x = -7

x = -7/2

*********

x-4 = 0

x = 4

What is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi? The radius is 2.2
klemol [59]
We will use formula for circumference of circle:
lets name it as O

O = 2*r * pi

when we express r in this formula we get:

O = 2*2.2*pi
O = 4.4*pi

From this we can see that for given radius, answer is 4.4. The formula only depends on pi and that is what "in terms of pi" means.

Find the area of the circle. Round to the nearest tenth.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

283.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A=πr^2

A=π(9.5^2)

A=π(90.25)

π x 90.25=283.5 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

How much more interest will Maria receive if she invests $1,000 for one year at x percent annual interest, compounded semiannual
notka56 [123]

Answer:

  $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for semi-annual compounding will be ...

  (1 + x/2)² = 1 + x + x²/4

The multiplier for annual compounding will be ...

  1 + x

The multiplier for semiannual compounding is greater by ...

  (1 + x + x²/4) - (1 + x) = x²/4

Maria's interest will be greater by $1000×(x²/4) = $250x², where x is a decimal fraction.

If x is a percent value, as in x = 6 when x percent = 6%, then the difference amount is ...

  $250·(x/100)² = $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

_____

<u>Example</u>:

For x percent = 6%, the difference in interest earned on $1000 for one year is $0.025×6² = $0.90.

Find the function value, if possible. (If an answer is undefined, enter UNDEFINED.)
ddd [48]

Answer:

f(x + 2) = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply replace wherever you find x in the function f(x) with (x + 2), like so:

f(x + 2) = 3(x + 2) - 4

f(x + 2) = 3x + 6 - 4

f(x + 2) = 3x + 2
