1. Check the sketch of the problem.

2. In right triangle DCE,

 tan50= \frac{EC}{DC}= \frac{x}{50}

tan 50 can be found to be 1.19 using a scientific calculator or other software.

1.19=\frac{x}{50}

x=1.19*50=59.5 (feet)

3. The height of the building is 59.5+5=64.5 (feet)

Answer: 64.5 (feet)

Determine whether the set, together with the indicated operations, is a vector space. If it is not, then identify one of the vec
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question are

(B) The set is not a vector space because it is not closed under addition. and

(D) The set is not a vector space because an additive inverse does not exist.

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to identify the possible things that can affect a possible vector space one would have to practice on several exercises.

The vector space axioms that failed are as follows

(B) The set is not a vector space because it is not closed under addition.

(2·x⁸ + 3·x) + (-2·x⁸ +x) = 4·x which is not an eighth degree polynomial

(D) The set is not a vector space because an additive inverse does not exist.

There is no eight degree polynomial  = 0

The axioms for real vector space are

  • Addition: Possibility of forming the sum  x+y which is in X from elements  x and y which are also in X
  • Inverse: Possibility of forming an inverse -x which is in X from an element x which is in X
  • Scalar multiplication: The possibility of forming multiplication between an element x in X and a real number c of which the product cx is also an element of X

(20 Points) Please Help Me This Is For A DBA
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For problem #1 identify the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines.  This point is (4, 2), and this is the solution to #1.

In problem #2 the lines never cross, and thus we conclude that there is no solution.
