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

A type of organism's cells split every minute. If the organism has 4 cells when the cells begin to split, how many cells will th
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The total of cells will the organism have after 6 minutes is 252

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets consider this problem as a geometric series

- There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive numbers

Ex:

# 5  ,  10  ,  20  ,  40  ,  80  ,  ………………………. (×2)

# 5000  ,  1000  ,  200  ,  40  ,  …………………………(÷5)

* General term (nth term) of a Geometric series:

∵ U1 = a  ,  U2  = ar  ,  U3  = ar^2  ,  U4 = ar^3  ,  U5 = ar^4

∴ Un = ar^n-1

- Where r is the ratio between each two consecutive terms and

 n is the position of the number in the series

* The sum of first n terms of a Geometric Progression is calculate from

 Sn = a(1 - r^n)/1 - r  

- In the problem the cell split every minute

- The organism has 4 cells when the cells begin to split

∴ a = 4

# 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 , .......

∴ r = 2

- The total of cells will the organism have after 6 minutes can

  calculate from the rule of the sum

∴ S6 = 4(1 - 2^6)/1 - 2 = 4(1 - 64)/-1 = 4(-63)/-1 = 252 cells

An equation is shown below: 2(3x − 5) = 1 Which of the following correctly shows the first two steps to solve this equation? Ste
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

A: Step 1: 6x − 10 = 1; Step 2: 6x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First: remove parentheses by multiplying factors.

6x - 10 = 1

Second: Move the constants to the right side of the equation

6x = 1 + 10

6x = 11

About Exercise 2.3.1: Proving conditional statements by contrapositive Prove each statement by contrapositive
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

See proofs below

Step-by-step explanation:

A proof by counterpositive consists on assuming the negation of the conclusion and proving the negation of the hypothesis.

a) Assume that n is not odd. Then n is even, that is, n=2k for some integer k. Hence n²=4k²=2(2k²)=2t for some integer t=2k². Then n² is even, therefore n² is not odd. We have proved the counterpositive of this statement.

b) Assume that n is not even, then n is odd. Thus, n=2k+1 for some integer k. Now, n³=(2k+1)³=8k³+6k²+6k+1=2(4k³+3k²+3k)+1=2t+1 for the integer t=4k³+3k²+3k. Thus n³ is odd, that is, n³ is not even.

c) Suppose that n is not odd, that is, n is even. Now, n=2k for some integer k. Then 5n+3=10k+3=2(5k+1)+1, thus 5n+3 is odd, then 5n+3 is not even.

d) Suppose that n is not odd, then n is even. Now, n=2k for some integer k. Then n²-2n+7=4k²-4k+7=2(2k²-2k+3)+1. Hence n²-2n+7 is odd, that is, n²-2n+7 is not even.

e) Assume that -r is not irrational, then -r is rational. Since -1 is rational, then (-1)(-r)=r is rational. Thus r is not irrational.

f) Assume that 1/z is not irrational. Then 1/z is rational. Multiplucative inverses of rational numbers are rational, hence z is rational, that is, z is not irrational.

g) Suppose that z>y. We will prove that z³+zy²≤z²y+y³ is false, that is, we will prove that z³+zy²>z²y+y³. Multiply by the nonnegative number z² in the inequality z>y to get z³>z²y (here we assume z and y nonzero, in this case either z³>0=y³ is true or z³=0>y³ is true). On the other hand, multiply by z² (positive number) to get zy²>y³. Add both inequalities to obtain z³+zy²>z²y+y³ as required.

h) Suppose than n is even. Then n=2k, and n²=4k² is divisible by 4.

i) Assume that "z is irrational or y is irrational" is false. Then z is rational and y is rational. Rational numbers are closed under sum, then z+y is rational, that is, z+y is not irrational.
