A tree 10 meters high casts a 17.3 meter shadow.

Mathematics

Answer:

the angle of elevation of the sun is \approx 30^o

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a diagram of the tree, ground and inclination of the rays of the sun, so we understand what right angle triangle we have. Please see the attached image.

Notice that our unknown is the angle \theta, and that we know the size of the side opposite to it, and of the side adjacent to it. Therefore the most convenient trigonometric formula to use is the tangent of the angle because:

tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan(\theta)=\frac{10}{17.3}\\\theta=arctan(\frac{10}{17.3})\\\theta\approx 30^o

Find a polynomial function of degree 3 with 2, i, -i as zeros.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

p(x)= x^3-2x^2+x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that a polynomial has zeros as 2 , i and -i . We need to find out the cubic polynomial . In general we know that if \alpha , \ \beta \ \& \ \gamma are the zeros of the cubic polynomial , then ,

\sf \longrightarrow p(x)= (x -\alpha )(x-\beta)(x-\gamma)

Here in place of the Greek letters , substitute 2,i and -i , we get ,

\sf\longrightarrow p(x)= (x -2 )(x-i)(x+i)

Now multiply (x-i) and (x+i ) using the identity (a+b)(a-b)=a² - b² , we have ,

\sf  \longrightarrow p(x)= (x-2)\{ x^2 - (i)^2\}

Simplify using i = √-1 ,

\sf \longrightarrow p(x)= (x-2)( x^2 + 1 )

Multiply by distribution ,

\sf \longrightarrow p(x)= x(x^2+1) -2(x^2+1)

Simplify by opening the brackets ,

\sf\longrightarrow p(x)= x^3+x-2x^2-2

Rearrange ,

\sf\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\blue{\sf p(x)= x^3-2x^2+x-2}}}

Write the decimal as a percent of 0.768
Nikitich [7]

To convert from decimal to percent, just multiply the decimal value by 100. In this example we have: 0.768 × 100 = 76.8%

The ease way:

1) Move the decimal point two places to the right: 0.768 → 7.68 → 76.8.

2) Add a % sign: 76.8%

"<u>Answer: 76.8%"</u>

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
