Answer:

In traveling across flat land, you notice a mountain directly in front of you. Its angle of elevation (to the peak) is 3.5°. After you drive x = 13 km closer to the mountain, the angle of elevation is 9°. Find the height of the mountain (round to one decimal place). Just enter the height value with one decimal. Do not enter the unit.

The height of the mountain is 1.2 km without unit it is only 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two angle of elevation.

We have to find the height of the mountain.

Let the height be "h" .

Note:

Angle of elevation will increase as we move closer to the object.

Considering the distance from 3.5 ° as (13+x) km

Using trigonometric ratios:

For adjacent side "x".

⇒ tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

⇒ tan(9) = \frac{h}{x}               <em> ...equation (i)</em>

⇒ x\times tan(9) = h         <em>...equation (ii)</em>

For adjacent side "(13+x)"

⇒ tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

⇒ tan(3.5) = \frac{h}{13+x}          <em>...equation (iii)</em>

 Dividing equation (i) and (iii).

⇒ \frac{tan(9)}{tan(3.5)} =\frac{h}{x}\times \frac{13+x}{h}

⇒ 2.58 =\frac{13+x}{x}                  <em>...cross multiplication</em>

⇒ 2.58x=13+x

⇒ 2.58x-x=13+x-x   <em>...subtract x both side</em>

⇒ 1.58x=13

⇒ x=\frac{13}{1.58}

⇒x=8.22 km

Plugging x=8.22 km in equation (ii) we can find h that is the height of the mountain.

So,

⇒ x\times tan(9) = h

⇒ 8.22\times 0.15 =h

⇒ 1.23 = h

The height of the mountain is 1.23 km with one decimal it is 1.2 km only.

What is the initial value in the function 2x + 3y = 6?
maw [93]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

The initial value of this function is the y-intercept. We know that the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is given by:

y=mx+b \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ \\ m:slope \\ \\ b:y-intercept

Writing our equation in slope intercept form:

2x + 3y = 6 \\ \\ \\ \text{Subtract 2x from both sides}: \\ \\ 2x -2x+ 3y = 6-2x \\ \\ 3y=6-2x \\ \\ \\ \text{Divide both sides by 3}: \\ \\ y=\frac{6-2x}{3} \\ \\ y=-\frac{2x}{3}+2

So the initial value is:

b=3

Miguel has $49.13 in his bank account. He paid two fees of $32.50 each, and then he made two depositis of $74.25 each. What is t
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

$132.63

Step-by-step explanation:

$49.13 - ($32.50 × 2)

$49.13 - $65 = $-15.87

$-15.87 + ($74.25 × 2)

$-15.87 + $148.50

=$132.63
