Frank -----------------------------------------------Base      

  Frank - Base = 400 ft
  Base- Top statue = 360 feet
  Angle of elevation =Angle Top-Franck-Base, let it be angle Ф
  
  tan (Ф) = 360/400 = 0.9
  arc tan (0.9) = tan⁻¹(0.9) = 41.98 , 

 Ten angle of elevation Ф ≈ 42°

Answer:

The answer is 36.9

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a right angled triangle with an opposite of 300.5 ft. (306 - 5.5) and an adjacent of 400 ft. Recalling SOH CAH TOA, tanθ = O/A.

tan(θ) = 300.5/400.

θ = tan^-1(300.5/400).

θ = 36.9

This is an exponential growth problem. Exponential growth can be expressed mathematically in the following way: 
y=a (1+r)^{t}.
Parameter a presents initial amount.
Parameter r is percentage increase. 
Parameter t is time.
An equation that would describe given problem is:
y=400 (1+0.02)^{t}
t is the time in years.
I attached the graph of this function.

A clothing store offers customers a holiday sale of 20% off the price of x items. A customer then has an additional 15% off coup
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Finding the equivalent multiplier, it is found that the function for the final price is:

P(x) = 0.68x.

-------------------------------------------

  • There is a holiday sale of 20% off the price of x, thus 0.8x is paid, as 1 - 0.2 = 0.8.
  • Additionally, there is a coupon of 15% off, thus, 0.85 of 0.8x is paid.
  • The equivalent multiplier is:

0.85(0.8) = 0.68

  • Thus, the function for the final price is:

P(x) = 0.68x

Find an equation of a sphere if one of its diameters has endpoints (3, 2, 5) and (5, 6, 7). Incorrect: your answer is incorrect.
prohojiy [21]

use midpoint equation

radius = distance between midpoint and one of the endpoints.

midpoint: (3+5)/2, (2+6)/2, (5+7)/2 = (4,4,6)

equation of sphere: (x-4)^2 + (y-4)^2 + (z-6)^2 = r^2

square distance between midpoint and one of the endpoints.

r^2 = 6

Equation: (x-4)^2 + (y-4)^2 + (z-6)^2 = 6

On Texas Avenue between University Drive and George Bush Drive, accidents occur according to a Poisson process at a rate of thre
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

(a) The probability is 0.6514

(b) The probability is 0.7769

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of accidents occur according to a poisson process, the probability that x accidents occurs on a given day is:

P(x)=\frac{e^{-at}*(at)^{x} }{x!}

Where a is the mean number of accidents per day and t is the number of days.

So, for part (a), a is equal to 3/7 and t is equal to 1 day, because there is a rate of 3 accidents every 7 days.

Then, the probability that a given day has no accidents is calculated as:

P(x)=\frac{e^{-3/7}*(3/7)^{x}}{x!}

P(0)=\frac{e^{-3/7}*(3/7)^{0}}{0!}=0.6514

On the other hand the probability that February has at least one accident with a personal injury is calculated as:

P(x≥1)=1 - P(0)

Where P(0) is calculated as:

P(x)=\frac{e^{-at}*(at)^{x} }{x!}

Where a is equivalent to (3/7)(1/8) because that is the mean number of accidents with personal injury per day, and t is equal to 28 because 4 weeks has 28 days, so:

P(x)=\frac{e^{-(3/7)(1/8)(28)}*((3/7)(1/8)(28))^{x}}{x!}

P(0)=\frac{e^{-(3/7)(1/8)(28)}*((3/7)(1/8)(28))^{0}}{0!}=0.2231

Finally, P(x≥1) is:

P(x≥1) = 1 - 0.2231 = 0.7769
