A boat is spotted in the water with an angle of depression of 25° from the top of a lighthouse that is 89 feet tall. To the near

stepan [7]

To calculate this you need to imagine triangle which points are:
boat
Top of lighthouse
Bottom of lighthouse

That triangle has 90 degrees angle at bottom of lighthouse. That means that we can use trigonometry to determine length between boat and bottom of lighthouse

tan(25) = 89/x
x = 89/tan(25)
x = 190.86

after rounding, the answer is D, 191 feet

What is x+y=8 and 5x+3y=34 graphed on the same graph

expeople1 [14]

To help you graph this, get y alone in both equations. If you don't have a graphing calculator, use the Desmos graphing calculator online.

So, you will end up graphing this:
y=8-x
y=(34/3)-(5/3)x

They will meet at (5,3)

Consider the function f(x)= 1-|x-1|+|x+1| for -3<x<3. Recall that the absolute function can be represented as a piece wise

Kruka [31]

By the definition for the absolute value,

$|x-1|=\begin{cases}x-1&\text{for }x\ge1\\-(x-1)&\text{for }x$
$|x+1|=\begin{cases}x+1&\text{for }x\ge-1\\-(x+1)&\text{for }x$

So for the compound function $f(x)=1-|x-1|+|x+1|$ , there are three intervals to consider. What happens when $x$ ? when $-1\le x$ ? when $x\ge1$ ?

You have

$f(x)=\begin{cases}1-(-(x-1))+(-(x+1))=-1&\text{for }x$

The sum of twice a number and 9 is 43

Irina-Kira [14]

2x + 9 = 43 This is the equation.
2x = 34 Subtract 9 from both sides.
x = 17 Divide both sides by 2.
