A six-foot-tall person walks from the base of a broadcasting tower directly toward the tip of the shadow cast by the tower. When

the person is 132 feet from the tower and 3 feet from the tip of the shadow, the person’s shadow starts to appear beyond the tower’s shadow. What is the height of the tower?

Answer:

270 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For clarity, the image below represents the problem. Let's call h the height of the tower. Notice that it forms 2 triangles that are similar to side-angle-side. So, we can calculate the higher of the tower by similar triangles:

higher1/base1 = higher2/base2

h/135 = 6/3

h/135 = 2

h = 270 ft

Which is the best estimate of the correlation coefficient for the scatter plot?
leva [86]

The best estimate for this correlation would be B) 0.9.

We can see that the number is constantly going up, which would throw out the D answer.

We can also see that for every time the x goes up 1, the y goes up a little less than one. We can see that in the ordered pairs that exist on the graph such as (3, 2), (8, 6) and (2.1, 1.9).

Since the y values are just lower than the x, the correlation would be just under one. Therefore, 0.9 is an accurate estimation.

HELP HELP HELP<br> HELP HELP <br> HELP <br> (STEP BY STEP)
Marizza181 [45]

With some simple rearrangement, we can rewrite the numerator as

2x^3 - 3x^2 - x + 4 = 2(x^3 - x) - 3x^2 + x + 4 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 2x(x^2-1) - 3(x^2 - 1) + x + 1 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = (2x-3)(x^2-1) + x+1

Then factorizing the difference of squares, x^2-1=(x-1)(x+1), we end up with

\dfrac{2x^3 - 3x^2 - x + 4}{x^2 - 1} = \dfrac{(2x-3)(x-1)(x+1) + x+1}{(x-1)(x+1)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \boxed{2x-3 + \dfrac1{x-1}}

What is the arc length of an angle of 7π6 radians formed on the unit circle?
Digiron [165]
The formula for arc length is S = ∅*r. 
Where S is the arc length, ∅ is the angle measure in radians, and r is the radius of the circle.
S = *1

Find the sum of natural number from 1 to 30
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. sum of term = 465

2. nth term of the AP = 30n - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The sum of all natural number from 1 to 30 can be computed as follows. The first term a = 1 and the common difference d = 1 . Therefore

sum of term = n/2(a + l)

where

a = 1

l = last term = 30

n = number of term

sum of term = 30/2(1 + 30)

sum of term = 15(31)

sum of term = 465

2.The nth term of the sequence can be gotten below. The sequence is 20, 50, 80 ......

The first term which is a is equals to 20. The common difference is 50 - 20 or 80 - 50 = 30. Therefore;

a = 20

d = 30

nth term of an AP = a + (n - 1)d

nth term of an AP = 20 + (n - 1)30

nth term of an AP = 20 + 30n - 30

nth term of the AP = 30n - 10

The nth term  formula can be used to find the next term progressively.  where n = number of term

The sequence will be 20, 50, 80, 110, 140, 170, 200..............
