Answer:

The height of the statue is 21.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

A person is standing 50 ft from a statue

The person looks up at an angle of elevation of 16 degree when staring at the top of the statue

hen the person looks down at an angle of depression of 8 degree when staring at the base of the statue

Firstly, we will draw diagram

In triangle ABF:

FC=50

we can use trig formula

tan(16)=\frac{y}{50}

y=50tan(16)

y=14.33727ft

now, we can find x

In triangle DEF:

we can use trig formula

tan(8)=\frac{x}{50}

x=50tan(8)

x=7.0270ft

we can see that

height of statue =x+y

so, the height of statue is

=14.33727+7.0270

=21.4ft

Describe and correct the error a student made in finding the midpoint cd with c(-4,5) and d(-1,-4).
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the midpoint of two coordinates is expressed as;

M(X,Y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

Given the coordinates c(-4,5) and d(-1,-4), x1 = -4, y1 = 5, x2 = -1 and y2 = -4.

For the X coordinate of the midpoint

X = x1+x2/2

X = -4+(-1)/2

X = -4-1/2

X = -5/2

X = -2.5

Similarly for Y:

Y = y1+y2/2

Y = 5+(-4)/2

Y = 5-4/2

Y = 1/2

Y = 0.5

Hence the midpoint coordinate of C(-4,5) and D (-1,-4) is (-2.5, 0.5)

Which equation, when graphed, has x-intercepts at (-1,0) and (-5,0) and a y-intercept at (0, -30)?
Vladimir [108]

If a function has roots -1 and -5, it must be in the form

f(x)=a(x+1)(x+5)

We can fix the coefficient a by imposing the passing through (0,-30):

f(0)=-30=a(1)(5)\iff a=-6

So, the function is

f(x)=-6(x+1)(x+5)
