If the function f is given by f(x)= 4x -3, find the value of f(2+h)

Travka [436]

f(x)=4x-3

$\\ \sf\longmapsto f(2+h)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4(2+h)-3$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4h+8-3$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4h+5$

An observer in tower A sees a boat 1538 yd away at an angle of depression of 35°. To the nearest yard, how far is the boat away

Thepotemich [5.8K]

From my own solution, my answer is closest to D. 1951 yd; 27°

The boat is 1951 yards away from the observer in tower B. The angle of depression to the boat from Tower B is 27°.

Pls. see my attachment.

In it I divided the big triangle into two small right triangles.
I solved for the common leg of the right triangles by using sin theta formula. sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 35° = opposite / 1538 yd
sin 35° * 1538 yd = opposite
882.16 yd = opposite

From there, I used the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the missing side which is part of the 3,000 yd measure.

I got the measure of 1,259.86 yards. The remaining measure of 1,740.14 is the side of the other right triangle.

Still using Pythagorean Theorem, I used the measurement of the known side of the 2nd right triangle to solve for its hypotenuse which was 1,950.97 or 1,951 yards.

With regards to the angle of depression, I used this formula:

tan(y) = opposite / adjacent
tan(y) = 1538 yd / 3000 yd
tan(y) = 0.513
y = 0.513/tan
y = 27.14°
