Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that:

$f(n)=n^2-2n$

And we are asked to verify whether f(2)=0 is true or false.

To determine the answer, substitute 2 for n in the function and solve. So:

$f(2)=(2)^2-2(2)$

Square and multiply:

$f(2)=4-4$

Subtract:

$f(2)=0$

So, the statement is indeed true.

And we're done!

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

if you substitute n for 2

(2)(2) = 4

4 - 4 = 0

The angle of elevation from me to the top of a hill is 51 degrees. The angle of elevation from me to the top of a tree is 57 deg

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Approximately $101\; \rm ft$ (assuming that the height of the base of the hill is the same as that of the observer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached.

Let $\rm O$ denote the observer.
Let $\rm A$ denote the top of the tree.
Let $\rm R$ denote the base of the tree.
Let $\rm B$ denote the point where line $\rm AR$ (a vertical line) and the horizontal line going through $\rm O$ meets. $\angle \rm B\hat{A}R = 90^\circ$ .

Angles:

Angle of elevation of the base of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
Angle of elevation of the top of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

Let the length of segment $\rm BR$ (vertical distance between the base of the tree and the base of the hill) be $x\; \rm ft$ .

The question is asking for the length of segment $\rm AB$ . Notice that the length of this segment is $\mathrm{AB} = (x + 20)\; \rm ft$ .

The length of segment $\rm OB$ could be represented in two ways:

In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

For example, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ , the length of the side opposite to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ is segment $\rm BR$ . The length of that segment is $x\; \rm ft$ .

$\begin{aligned}\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)} = \frac{\,\rm {BR}\,}{\,\rm {OB}\,} \; \genfrac{}{}{0em}{}{\leftarrow \text{opposite}}{\leftarrow \text{adjacent}}\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to find an expression for the length of $\rm OB$ (in $\rm ft$ ) in terms of $x$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{BR}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x}{\tan\left(51^\circ\right)}\approx 0.810\, x\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}A}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x + 20}{\tan\left(57^\circ\right)}\approx 0.649\, (x + 20)\end{aligned}$ .
