May be the vertical distance is 300.
and let horizontal distance be h.
angle of depression (from the balloon) to edge of cliff = 40.5°
so,
tan(40.5)=h/300
h= 300*tan(40.5)
since, tan(45°)=1, tan(40.5°) must be smaller than one as tan(x) is a increasing function.
so 300*tan(40.5°) must be less than 300
therefore the horizontal distance is 256 ft

The perimeter of a square garden is (20k+36) feet. Write an expression
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

5k+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a square, all four sides are equal so divide the equation of the total by 4.

20k/4=5k

36/4=9

The length of one side of the garden can be represented by the expression:

5k+9

You can identify the slope and y-intersept. The slope is 50 and the y-intercept is (0, 1200). You could also do the x-intercept, which would be the number of months passed when he pays off the debt fully. The x intercept would be (24,0)

Find an equation of the parabola that has the indicated vertex and whose graph passes through the given point
vichka [17]
Equation of a parabola with vertex at (2, -1) is
y = a(x - 2)^2 - 1

Using the given point: -3 = a(4 - 2)^2 - 1
-2 = a(2)^2
4a = -2
a = -1/2

Therefore, required equation is
y = -1/2(x - 2)^2 - 1
y = -1/2(x^2 - 4x + 4) - 1
y = -1/2x^2 + 2x - 2 - 1
y = -1/2x^2 + 2x - 3
