If you stand on a ship in a calm sea, then your height x (in feet) above sea level is related to the farthest distance y (in mil

es) that you can see by the equation: y=sqrt (1.5x+(x/5280)^2) how high up do you have to be to be able to see 10mi?

We are given the relation between the height (in feet) and the distance (in miles) as follows:
y = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2).

We want to know the height (x) that makes the distance (y) = 10 miles

So, we will simply substitute in the above equation with y = 10 and calculate x as follows:
10 = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2)
we will square both sides to get rid of the root:
100 = 1.5x + (x/5280)^2
1.5x + (x/5280)^2 - 100 = 0 
(x-66.11475)(x+7986.1147) = zero
either x = 66.11475 feet (accepted solution)
or x = -7986.1147 feet (rejected solution as no height is in negative)

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

This variable that is impacted by manipulating the independent variable is known as dependent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the methods to test a hypothesis is the use of independent variable. The independent variable is manipulated to know if the change will be effective or not.

The variable which will be impacted by the independent variable is called dependent variable. The researcher manipulated the values for independent variable to check if the dependent variable changes or not ..

What proves m ∆ADB and ∆ADC are congruent.
AURORKA [14]

Answer: They're the same angles/measurements.

Step-by-step explanation: Look closely at both the angles. If you measure them, they will be the same because both angles look the same, but ΔADC's side is flipped.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Solve -2 = 5p + 3p -8 – 6p
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

P=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2=5p+3p−8−6p

−2=5p+3p+−8+−6p

−2=(5p+3p+−6p)+(−8)(Combine Like Terms)

−2=2p+−8

−2=2p−8

Step 2: Flip the equation.

2p−8=−2

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

2p−8+8=−2+8

2p=6

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2p2=62

p=3
