The angle the beam makes with the pool surface is 29.72°.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Data:</u>

The spotlight and surface of a swimming pool makes a 90 degree angle.

Spotlight stand is 3m (Opposite)

Beam of light hits the water 7m away from the base of light (base)

Angle = ?

<u>Use sin to solve</u>

Formula:

Tan (Angle) = \frac{Opposite}{Base}

Solution:

Sin (Angle) = \frac{3}{7}

Angle = tan^{-1} (0.571)

Angle = 29.72°

Therefore, the angle the beam makes with the pool surface is 29.72°.

Determine the amplitude of the following function:<br><br>y=−4/5tan(−4x)
laila [671]

Answer:

  ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

In many instances, the term "amplitude" is used to refer to half the range. The range of any tangent function is (-∞, ∞), so its amplitude is ∞ regardless of any multiplier or offset.

__

Perhaps you're expected to say the absolute value of the coefficient of the trig function. In that case, the "amplitude" is 4/5.

There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles.There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. How many tricycles and how
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: there are eight bicycles and 7 tricycles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bicycles that are there.

Let y represent the number of tricycles that are there.

There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles. This means that

x + y = 15

A bicycle has 2 wheels and a tricycle has 3 wheels. There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. This means that

2x + 3y = 37- - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 15 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(15 - y) + 3y = 37

30 - 2y + 3y = 37

- 2y + 3y = 37 - 30

y = 7

x = 15 - y = 15 - 7

x = 8
