For this case we can use the following trigonometric relationship:
 tan (x) = C.O / C.A
 Where,
 x: angle (elevation of the sun)
 C.O: opposite leg (height of the tower)
 C.A: Adjacent Leg (shadow of the tower)
 Clearing we have:
 C.O = C.A * tan (x)
 Substituting values:
 h = 60 * tan (65)
 h = 128.67 feet
 Answer:
 
the tower is 128.67 feet tall

Can you find the marginal profit of a,b and c?
MakcuM [25]
Keeping in mind that for a cost C(x) and profit P(x) and revenue R(x), the marginal cost, marginal profit and marginal revenue are respectively dC/dx, dP/dx and dR/dx, then

\bf P(x)=0.03x^2-3x+3x^{0.8}-4400
\\\\\\
\stackrel{marginal~profit}{\cfrac{dP}{dx}}=0.06x-3+2.4x^{-0.2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06x-3+2.4\cdot \cfrac{1}{x^{0.2}}\implies \cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06x-3+2.4\cdot \cfrac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{5}}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06x-3+\cfrac{2.4}{\sqrt[5]{x}}

\bf a)\qquad 
\cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06(200)-3+ \cfrac{2.4}{\sqrt[5]{200}}
\\\\\\
b)\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06(2000)-3+\cfrac{2.4}{\sqrt[5]{2000}}
\\\\\\
c)\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06(5000)-3+\cfrac{2.4}{\sqrt[5]{5000}}
\\\\\\
d)\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06(10000)-3+\cfrac{2.4}{\sqrt[5]{10000}}

Rebecca went swimming yesterday. After a while she had covered one fifth of her intended distance. After swimming six more lengt
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Option E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the intended length of Rebecca's swimming is = x units

and we assume the length of the pool = l units

Now it is given in the question that " She covers one fifth of her intended distance "

That means distance covered = \frac{x}{5}

" After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance"

So \frac{x}{5}+6(l)=\frac{x}{4}

6l=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{x}{5}

6l=\frac{x}{20}

x = 20×(6l)

x = 120l

Therefore, Rebecca has to complete 120 lengths of the pool.

Option E is the answer.

One sign lights up every 10 seconds. One sign lights up every 12 seconds. If they have just lit up at the same time, how many se
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

It will take 60 seconds for the signs to light up at the same time again.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

One sign lights up every 10 seconds

One sign lights up every 12 seconds

They have just lit up at the same time.

To find in how many seconds will it take for the signs to light up at the same time again.

Solution:

In order to find the time in seconds will it take for the signs to light up at the same time again, we need to find the least common multiple of the the times for which the given signs light up.

The numbers are 10 and 12.

To find the LCM, we will list the multiples of each and check the least common multiple.

The multiples of 10 and 12 are :

10\rightarrow 10,20,30,40,50,60,70

12\rightarrow 12,24,36,48,60

thus, we can see that 60 is the least common multiple.

Thus, the signs will light up at the same time time after every 60 seconds.
