The people of Bridgetown wanted to build a bridge across a nearby river. Since they were poor swimmers, their master Trigonomos

agreed to measure the width of the river without actually crossing it. Trigonomos spotted a tree across the river and marked the spot directly across from it. then he walked to another point 15 meters down the river and the line connecting him to the tree was 76 degrees what is the width of the river?

Answer:

60.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the river.  The distance from the point across from the tree to the second point is 15 m.  The angle from this point to the tree across the river is 76°.

This makes the side opposite the angle x, the width of the river.  It also means the 15 m side is adjacent to this angle.

The ratio opposite/adjacent is the ratio for tangent; this gives us the equation

x/15 = tan(76)

Multiply both sides by 15:

15(x/15) = 15(tan(76))

x = 15(tan(76)) ≈ 60.2

Find the number of roots for each equation.<br> 5. 5x4 + 12x3 – x2 + 3x + 5 = 0
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The number of roots for  equation 5x^4 + 12x^3 – x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0 is 4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given function polynomial is :

P(x) : 5x^4 + 12x^3 – x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra says that a polynomial of degree n will have exactly n roots (counting multiplicity).

Now here, the degree if the polynomial is 4 (highest power of variable x).

So, according to the Fundamental Theorem, the given polynomial can have AT MOST 4 roots, counting Multiplicity.

Hence,  the number of roots for  equation 5x^4 + 12x^3 – x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0 is 4 .

I need the answers to the following questions
Oliga [24]
At death means x= 0, so on the graph you can see that (0, 500), so 500 carbon atoms are present at death.

Plug 11,240 in for t in the equation, and you are left with N(t) = 500(1/2)^2 = 125 carbon atoms.

See the graph point (25,000, 24.298)? That means that after 25,000 years 24.298 carbon atoms will be present. So the answer is 25,000 years.
