Answer:

The distance from both of them = 1463.925 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The building is 964 ft tall . 2 people are standing on the ground directly west of the building. The first person looks up at an angle of 62° to the top of the building while the second person did same at an angle of 26°. The distance between them can be computed below.

The illustration forms a right angle triangle . Using the SOHCAHTOA principle let us find the distance of the second person from the building

tan 26° = opposite/adjacent

tan 26° = 964/adjacent

adjacent tan 26° = 964

adjacent = 964/tan 26°

adjacent = 964/0.48773258856

adjacent = 1976.49290328 ft

The distance from the second person to the building = 1976.493 ft

Distance of the first person to the building

tan 62° = opposite/adjacent

tan 62° = 964/adjacent

adjacent tan 62° = 964

adjacent = 964/tan 62°

adjacent = 964/1.88072646535

adjacent = 512.567892122

distance from the first person to the building = 512.568 ft

The distance from both of them = 1976.493 ft - 512.568 ft = 1463.925 ft

Suppose 2' is a normally distributed random variable with ft = 10.3 and 0 = 3.8. For the following probability,draw an appropria

TiliK225 [7]

GIVEN

The following values are given:

$\begin{gathered} \mu=10.3 \\ \sigma=3.8 \end{gathered}$

SOLUTION

The z-score for the x values 9 and 14 can be calculated using the formula:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For x = 9:

$\begin{gathered} z=\frac{9-10.3}{3.8} \\ z=-0.34 \end{gathered}$

For x = 14:

$\begin{gathered} z=\frac{14-10.3}{3.8} \\ z=0.97 \end{gathered}$

The probability can be calculated as follows:

$P(9\le x\le14)=Pr(-0.34The region that represents the solution is shown below:Therefore, the probability is given to be:[tex]P(9\le x\le14)=0.4671$

The probability is 0.4671.

Question Help

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

19 1-point shots and 32 2-point shots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of 1-point shots they made and y be the amount of 2-point shots they made then...

x+y=51

x+2y=83

We can solve this equation using elimination. In this case, we can eliminate x be subtracting the two equations.

-y=-32

Divide both sides by -1

y=32

Plug this back into the equation to solve for x

x+32=51

Subtract 32 from both sides

x=19

They scored 19 1-point shots and 32 2-point shots.

Which is the correct input-output table for the function g(x)=-1/2(4x+6)

Sonbull [250]

Answer: The third choice.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the first output, start with your first input. In this case, it's -2, so your equation would be g(-2)= -1/2(4(-2)+6). Start by solving inside the parenthesis. 4x-2=-8 and -8+6=-2. -1/2x-2= 1, so your first output should be 1. The only choice that has this is the third one, so that is your answer. Hope I could help :)
