Answer:
y = (2/5) OR y = (6/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is isolating the expression within the absolute value bars. The first thing we can do is subtract both sides by 8. If we do that, we get -2|4-5y| = -4. Now, to completely isolate the absolute value, we would have to divide by -2. This yields |4 - 5y| = 2. Finally, we can remove the absolute value bars. However, to do this, we need to first understand what an absolute value bar does to an equation. Lets say that |x| = 2. Absolute value describes the DISTANCE of some quantity from 0 (on the number line). Therefore, x (which is inside the absolute value bars) can be either positive or negative 2 (they are BOTH two units away from 0). Similarly, in this case, (4 - 5y) can either be 2 or -2 (because the absolute value of both is 2). Now we have two possible solutions to solve for:
4 - 5y = 2 OR 4 - 5y = -2
5y = 2 OR 5y = 6
y = (2/5) OR y = (6/5)
If we plug both of these answers back into the equation we can see that they both check out.
(-1.15)x3.2=
-3.68
Alright so I got -3.68 by multiplying -1.15x3.2. We get a negative number since the first number is negative.
Answer:
<u>135.94 feet</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the problem into two parts :
- Distance between viewer and building
- Height of the top part of the building
<u>Distance between viewer and building</u>
- The lower part of the building is 40 feet, as it is mentioned the viewer is 40 feet above street level
- Let the distance be called 'd'
- Therefore, tan37° = 40/d
- tan37° = 3/4 = 0.75
- ⇒ 40/d = 0.75
- ⇒ d = 40/(3/4) = 40 x 4/3 = 160/3 = 53.3 feet
<u>Height of the top part of the building</u>
- Let the height of the top part be 'h'
- Therefore, tan61° = h/d = h/53.3
- tan61° = 1.8
- ⇒ h/53.3 = 1.8
- ⇒ h = 53.3 x 1.8 = 95.94 feet
<u>Total height of building</u>
- Lower part + Top part
- 40 + 95.94
- <u>135.94 feet</u>
