A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a level plain. From one point on the plain, they observe that

the angle of elevation to the top of the mountain is 32 ∘ . From a point 2000 feet closer to the mountain along the plain, they find that the angle of elevation is 34 ∘ . How high (in feet) is the mountain?

Answer:  3528.25

Step-by-step explanation:Make a sideview sketch

you should have 2 triangles, one right-angled containing the height and a scalene triangle with angles 24° , 153° (the supplement of 27°) and 3°

the side opposite the 3° angle is 1000

by let the side opposite the 24° be x, (also the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle)

x/sin24 = 1000/sin3

x = 1000sin24/sin3

let the height of the mountain be h

sin 27 = h/x

h = x sin27 = (1000sin24/sin3)(sin27)

= 3528.25

Suppose you are determining the growth rate of two species of plants. Species A is 25 cm tall and grows 3 cm per month. Species
jarptica [38.1K]
If the growth rate is a constant, we can model it using a linear equation:

y = b + ax

where b = initial value, a = growth rate.
In this case, x = m = number of months.

Let's find the equation for the growth of each species.

Species A:
Initial height = b = 25 cm
Growth rate = a = 3 cm per month
So its height can be modeled by H(m) = 25 + 3m

Species B:
Initial height = b = 10 cm
Growth rate = a = 8 cm per month
So its height can be modeled by H(m) = 10 + 8m

Thus the answer is A: H(m) = 25 + 3m and B: H(m) = 10 + 8m.

A recursive rule for a geometric sequence is a1=2; an= 4/9 an-1
Oxana [17]

A recursive rule for a geometric sequence:

a_1\\\\a_n=r\cdot a_{n-1}

---------------------------------------------------

a_1=2;\ a_n=\dfrac{4}{9}a_{n-1}\to r=\dfrac{4}{9}

---------------------------------------------------

The exciplit rule:

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

Substitute:

a_n=2\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^{n-1}=2\cdot\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^n\cdot\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^{-1}=2\cdot\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^n\cdot\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\\boxed{a_n=\dfrac{9}{2}\cdot\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)^n}

docker41 [41]

Answer:

A. $605.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The state tax, city tax, and retirement fund add to 6% of Vaughn's wages, or ...

... $785 · 6% = $47.10

Then after subtracting all the deductions, Vaughn's take-home pay is ...

... $785 -42.25 -90.33 -47.10 = $605.32 . . . . matches A
