Given
Height (length) of the anchor dropped from the boat = 75 feet
Distance of the treasure from the anchor = 40 feet

Solution
The dropped at the bottom makes an angle of 90 degree . Therefore making an right triangle with the chest and boat

By Pythagoras theorem
AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

(AC = distance of the treasure from the boat
AB = height of the anchor dropped from the boat
BC = the distance of treasure from the anchor)

AC^2 = 75^2 + 40^2
AC^2 = 5325 +1600
AC^2 = 6925
AC = 25 * (under root 11)

Therefore they have cover a distance of 25 * (under root 11)

What is the value of x if e3x+6=8
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

x = 1/3 ln(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

e^(3x)+6=8

Subtract 6 from each side

e^(3x)+6-6=8-6

e^(3x) = 2

Take the natural log of each side

ln (e ^3x) = ln (2)

3x = ln(2)

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 1/3 ln(2)

x = 1/3 ln(2)
