The length of the island will be given as follows:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
thus:
tan75.8= 3000/a1
a1=3000tan75.8
a1=11855.885 ft

also:
tan15.6=3000/a2
a2=3000tan15.6
a2=837.62 ft
Thus the length of the island will be:
11855.885-837.615
=11,018.24 ft

Let A = { x ∈ R : x 2 − 5 x + 4 ≤ 0 } , B = (3 , 5), and C = (3 , 4]. Show that A ∩ B = C . (Recall, you must show two separate
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

You can proceed as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve the quadratic inequality x^{2}-5x+4\leq 0. To do that, factorize, then we have that (x-4)(x-1)\leq 0. This implies that

x-1\leq 0\, \text{and}\, x-4\geq 0

or

x-1 \geq 0\, \text{and}\, x-4\leq 0

In the first case the solution is the empty set \emptyset. In the second case the solution is the interval 1\leq x \leq 4. Now we have that

A=[1,4]

B=(3,5)

C=(3,4].

To show that A\cap B\subseteq C consider x\in A\cap B. Then 1\leq x \leq 4\, \text{and}\, 1, this implies that 3, then x\in C. Now, to show that C\subseteq A\cap B consider x\in C, then 3, then 1\leq x \leq 4\, \text{and}\, 3, then x\in [1,4] \, \text{and}\, x\in (3,5), this implies that x\in A\cap B.
