the height of the house is 408ft .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , To estimate the height of a house Katie stood a certain distance from the house and determined that the angle of elevation to the top of the house was 32 degrees. Katie then moved 200 feet closer to the house along a level street and determined the angle of elevation was 42 degrees. We need to find  What is the height of the house . Let's find out:

Let  y is the unknown height of the house, and x is the unknown number of feet she is standing from the house.

Distance of house from point A( initial point ) = x ft

Distance of house from point B( when she traveled 200 ft towards street  = x-200 ft

Now , According to question these scenarios are of right angle triangle as

At point A

⇒ Tan32 =\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}= \frac{y}{x}

⇒ Tan32 = \frac{y}{x}

⇒ y=x(Tan32 )       ..................(1)

Also , At point B

⇒ Tan42 = \frac{y}{x-200}

⇒ y=(x-200)(Tan42)     ..............(2)

Equating both equations:

⇒ (x-200)(Tan42) = x(Tan32)

⇒ x(Tan42-Tan32)=Tan42(200)

⇒ x=\frac{Tan42(200)}{(Tan42-Tan32)}

⇒ x=653ft

Putting  x=653ft in  y=x(Tan32 )  we get:

⇒  y=x(Tan32 )    

⇒  y=653(Tan32 )

⇒  y=408ft

Therefore , the height of the house is 408ft .

Find zeros and y intercept of each function algebraically f(x)=x^3-10x^2+24x
monitta

Answer:

The zeros are 0, 4, 6.

The y-intercept is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^3 - 10x^2 + 24x

x^3 - 10x^2 + 24x = 0

x(x^2 - 10x + 24) = 0

x(x - 4)(x - 6) = 0

x = 0 or x - 4 = 0 or x - 6 = 0

x = 0 or x = 4 or x = 6

y-intercept:

Since x = 0 is a root, that means that the point (0, 0) is part of the function. That makes the y-intercept 0.

You can also solve for the y-intercept by letting x = 0 in the function and solving for f(0).

Let x = 0.

f(0) = 0^3 - 10(0^2) + 24(0)

f(0) = 0

y-intercept: 0

Theater m has 25 rows with 27 seats in each row. how many of the seats were occupiedduring a certain show?(1) during the show, t
Elis [28]
1) 475
2)375
You need to multiply 25 by 27 and you get 675 then to get answer one you need to multiply 10 by 20 to get 200 the take 200 away from 675 to get 475 then do the same thing with the second problem 20x15 which is 300 the take 300 away from 675.
