Y = height
x = distance from tower

tan(19.9) = y/x

tan(21.8) = y/(x-50)   ( x is 50 feet closer so subtract 50 from x)

find the tan of the angles:
tan19.9 = 0.362
tan21.8 = 0.400

replace those values in the equations:
0.362 = y /x
0.400 = y / (x-50)

rewrite to solve for height:
0.362x = y
0.400(x-50) = y  distribute the 0.400 and rewrite as 0.400x-20 =y

now solve:

0.362x = 0.400x-20

add 20 to each side:
0.362x +20 = 0.400x

subtract 0.362x from each side:

20 = 0.038x

divide both sides by 0.038
x = 20 / 0.038 = 526.3 feet

now that x is known replace x in the original equation and solve for y:

tan19.9 = y /x

0.362 = y / 526.3
y = 0.362 x 526.3
y = 190.5

the height of the tower is 190.5 feet

Which of these relations on the set {0, 1, 2, 3} are equivalence relations? If not, please give reasons why. (In other words, if
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

(1)Equivalence Relation

(2)Not Transitive, (0,3) is missing

(3)Equivalence Relation

(4)Not symmetric and Not Transitive, (2,1) is not in the set

Step-by-step explanation:

A set is said to be an equivalence relation if it satisfies the following conditions:

  • Reflexivity: If \forall x \in A, x \rightarrow x
  • Symmetry: \forall x,y \in A, $if x \rightarrow y,$ then y \rightarrow x
  • Transitivity: \forall x,y,z \in A, $if x \rightarrow y,$ and y \rightarrow z, $ then x \rightarrow z

(1) {(0,0), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3)}

(3) {(0,0), (1,1), (1,2), (2,1), (2,2), (3,3)}

The relations in 1 and 3 are Reflexive, Symmetric and Transitive. Therefore (1) and (3) are equivalence relation.

(2) {(0,0), (0,2), (2,0), (2,2), (2,3), (3,2), (3,3)}

In (2), (0,2) and (2,3) are in the set but (0,3) is not in the set.

Therefore, It is not transitive.

As a result, the set (2) is not an equivalence relation.

(4) {(0,0), (0,1), (0,2), (1,0), (1,1), (1,2), (2,0), (2,2), (3,3)}

(1,2) is in the set but (2,1) is not in the set, therefore it is not symmetric

Also, (2,0) and (0,1) is in the set, but (2,1) is not, rendering the condition for transitivity invalid.
