We have a triangle where.
a=adjacent leg of A=30 ft
A=90º-(angle of depression)=90º-10º=80º
b=distance between the base of the lighthouse and the ship
tan A= opposite /adjacent.
tan 80º=b /30 ft  ⇒b=(30 ft)(tan 80º)≈170.14 ft

Answer: the distance would be 170.14 ft

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30. He wants to mix $5 per pound cashews with the peanuts to get a batch of mixed nut
seraphim [82]

Answer:

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30.

Price of peanut per pound P = $30/12 = $2.5

Price of cashew per pound C = $5

Price of mixed nut per pound M = $4

Let x represent the proportion of peanut in the mixed nut.

The proportion of cashew will then be y = (1-x), so;

xP + (1-x)C = M

Substituting the values;

x(2.5) + (1-x)5 = 4

2.5x + 5 -5x = 4

2.5x - 5x = 4 -5

-2.5x = -1

x = 1/2.5 = 0.4

Proportion of cashew is;

y = 1-x = 1-0.4 = 0.6

For 12 pounds of peanut the corresponding pounds of cashew needed is;

A = 12/x × y

A = 12/0.4 × 0.6 = 18 pounds

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

Answer:

  a) 30 kangaroos in 2030

  b) decreasing 8% per year

  c) large t results in fractional kangaroos: P(100) ≈ 1/55 kangaroo

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your equation is supposed to be ...

  P(t) = 76(0.92^t)

__

a) P(10) = 76(0.92^10) = 76(0.4344) = 30.01 ≈ 30

In the year 2030, the population of kangaroos in the province is modeled to be 30.

__

b) The population is decreasing. The base 0.92 of the exponent t is the cause. The population is changing by 0.92 -1 = -0.08 = -8% each year.

The population is decreasing by 8% each year.

__

c) The model loses its value once the population drops below 1/2 kangaroo. For large values of t, it predicts only fractional kangaroos, hence is not realistic.

  P(100) = 75(0.92^100) = 76(0.0002392)

  P(100) ≈ 0.0182, about 1/55th of a kangaroo
