Answer:

238 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure .

An observer is standing in a lighthouse 96 feet above the level of the water.i.e AC = 96 feet

The angle of depression of a buoy is 22° i.e. ∠ABC = 22°

Now we are required to find  the horizontal distance between the observer and the buoy i.e. BC

Now, use trigonometric ratio.

tan\theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tan22^{circ} = \frac{96}{BC}

0.404= \frac{96}{BC}

BC= \frac{96}{0.404}

BC= 237.62

Thus the horizontal distance between the observer and the buoy  is 237.62≈238 feet.

Tan(theta)=opp/adj
Tan(22)=96/x
X=96/tan(22)

Hello :D

Answer:

A. Y

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add by 14 both sides of an equation.

-14-5y+14>-64+14

Then, simplify by equation.

-64+14=-50

-5y>-50

Multiply -1 both sides.

(-5y)(-1)<(-50)(-1)

5y<50

Divide by 5 both sides of an equation.

5y/5<50/5

Divide numbers from left to right.

50/5=10

y<10 is the correct answer.

Hope this helps you! :D

A sine function has an amplitude of 3, a period of pi, and a phase shift of pi/2. What is the y-intercept of the function?
jarptica [38.1K]

Based on the calculations, we can logically deduce that the y-intercept of this sine function is equal to: A. 3.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Amplitude = 3
  • Period = π
  • Phase shift = π/2

<h3>How to determine the y-intercept of this function?</h3>

Mathematically, a sine function is modeled by this equation:

y = Asin(ωt + ø)

<u>Where:</u>

  • A represents the amplitude.
  • ω represents angular velocity.
  • t represents the period.
  • ø represents the phase shift.

Also, the period of a sine wave is given by:

t = 2π/ω

2 = 2π/ω

ω = 2

Substituting the given parameters into the equation, we have;

y = 3sin(2t + π/2)

At t = 0, we have:

y = 3sin(2(0) + π/2)

y = 3sin(π/2)

y = 3sin(90)

y = 3 × 1

y = 3.

In conclusion, we can logically deduce that the y-intercept of this sine function is equal to 3.
