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

You roll a six-sided die twice. What is the probability of rolling a 2 and then a 6?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes when a fair die is rolled twice. Of the 36 possible outcomes, there are 6 doubles: 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, and 6-6.

Find the numerical value for W such that l'Hospital's Rule applies to the following limit and then compute the value, L, of that
mina [271]
\displaystyle\lim_{x\to7}\frac{3x^2-15x+W}{x-7}

For the limit to exist, x=7 needs to be a removable discontinuity. This means the numerator needs to have a factor of x-7.

The polynomial remainder theorem says that a polynomial p(x) has a factor x-r if p(r)=0. In this case, p(x)=3x^2-15x+W and r=7. You have p(7)=42+W, and for this to be exactly 0, you require that W=-42.

Now, the numerator approaches 0, and so by L'Hopital's rule,

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to7}\frac{3x^2-15x-42}{x-7}=\lim_{x\to7}(6x-15)=27

$5 is what percent of $20
vovangra [49]
$5 is 25% of of $20.
Because we know that $10 is 50% of $20 ( 10 is a half of 20 ) and $5 is 1/4 of $20. 
We also that 1/4 is 25% so,
$5 is 25%
