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

Practice another write the function in terms of unit step functions. find the laplace transform of the given function. f(t) = t,
balu736 [363]

Using the Laplace transform to solve the given integral equation  f(t) = t, 0 ≤ t < 4 0, t ≥ 4 is \frac{4(1-2e^-5s)/}{s}

explanation is given in the image below:

Laplace remodel is an crucial remodel approach that's particularly beneficial in fixing linear regular equations. It unearths very wide programs in var- areas of physics, electrical engineering, manipulate, optics, mathematics and sign processing.

The Laplace transform technique, the function inside the time domain is transformed to a Laplace feature within the frequency area. This Laplace function could be inside the shape of an algebraic equation and it may be solved without difficulty.

A computer that originally cost $850 is on sale for 15% Off. What is sale price of the computer? Help Please &lt;3 Thanks!
zaharov [31]
Percent means per 100
think cent as in 100 pennies in a dollar

To convert from percent to decimal, we divide by 100 or move the decimal over 2 spots, so,
15% = 15/100 = 0.15

Now multiply 0.15 by 850 to find the discount saved
0.15*850 = 127.50
So you'll save $127.50

The final price is therefore: 850-127.50 = 722.50

A shortcut is to multiply 850 by 0.85 
850*0.85 = 722.50
We get the same answer
The 0.85 comes from the fact that if you get 15% off, then you pay 85% of the original price

Answer: $722.50
