Answer:

9.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the picture.

Let f represent how high up the bird is in the tree.

This side length of the right triangle is opposite the given angle which is 25 degrees.

The side length adjacent to the given angle is 20 ft.

We use the tangent ratio to obtain:

\tan 25\degree=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

We substitute the values to obtain:

\tan 25\degree=\frac{f}{20}

f=20\tan 25\degree

f=9.3 ft

Therefore the bird is 9.3 feet high up in the tree.

Part A: Solve −np − 80 < 60 for n. Show your work. (4 points)
morpeh [17]
Solution:

1) Add 80 to both sides
-np<60+80

2) Simplify 60+80 to 140
-np<140

3) Divide both sides by p
-n<\frac{140}{p}​​

4) Multiply both sides by -1
n>-\frac{140}{p}

Done!

Serjik [45]

Step-by-step explanation: A coordinate grid has two perpendicular lines, or axes (pronounced AX-eez), labeled just like number lines. The horizontal axis is usually called the x-axis. The vertical axis is usually called the y-axis. The point where the x- and y-axis intersect is called the origin

The fuel cost per hour for running a ship is approximately one half the cube of the speed (measured in knots) plus additional fi
andrezito [222]

Answer:

6 knots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed be v knots

then time taken to cover 500 M = 500 / v hrs

fuel consumption /hr = 216 + 0.5v^3

let F be the fuel consumption for trip

= [500/v][216 + 0.5v^3]

= 500[216/v + 0.5v^2]

dF/dv = 500[ - 216/v^2 + v]

d^2F/d^2v = 500[432/v^3 + 1] , i.e. +ve

so setting dF/dv will give a minima

500[ -216/v^2 + v] = 0

or v = 216/v^2

or v^3 = 216

solving, we get v = [216]^(1/3) = 6 knots
