Answer: The weight of the iceberg at the end of the day will be 449,100 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation: The question is solved by first calculating what the loss of weight is during the day. The question indicates that it will lose .2%. In order to calculate the loss you need to multiply 450,000 x .002, which equals 900. Next, we subtract the weight loss from the original weight to determine the end of day weight. 450,000 - 900 = 449,100 lbs.

Answer: 449,100 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weight of iceberg = 450,000 lb

The percentage of weight iceberg loses during the day = 0.2%=0.002

Now, the decrease in weight of iceberg at the end of the day = $0.002\times 450000=900\ lb$

Therefore, the new weight of iceberg at the end of the day = $450000-900=449,100\ lb$

Hey can anyone pls answer these math problems!!

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

1={5 and 3} 2={0} 3={0.209 and 4.791} 4={-3 and 4} 5={1 and 9} 6={-4.303 and -0.697}

Step-by-step explanation:

Your probably confused on what a, b, and c means.

The problems are written like this.

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

That formula finds the zeros.

For example 1:

$x^2-8x+15=0\\ax^2-bx-c\\a=1\\b=-8\\c=15$

Then use the formula

$x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\\\x=\frac{-(-8)+-\sqrt{-8^2-4(1)(15)} }{2} \\x=\frac{8+-\sqrt{64-60} }{2} \\\\x=\frac{8+-2}{2}\\$

If plus then 5, if minus then 3

CHECK:

$x^2-8x+15=0\\5^2-8(5)+15=0\\25-40+15=0\\0=0\\3^2-8(3)+15=0\\9-24+15=0\\0=0$

Hope this helps you understand how to do this by yourself. Now to do the rest ;-;

Amanda and jamie are standing 25 feet apart and spot a bird in the sky between them the angle of elevation from Amanda is 25 fee

finlep [7]

Answer:

25.2294 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question drawing a triangle using the values given and then using the law of sines. (See image attached to know how to draw the triangle and use the values).

First we need to find the third angle of the triangle, that is, the angle in the vertix where the bird is:

y + 55 + 63 = 180

y = 62°

The relation between the angles and the distances are:

25 / sin(y) = x / sin(63)

25 / 0.8829 = x / 0.8910

x = 25 * 0.8910 / 0.8829 = 25.2294 feet
