1 in 1909? In other words, how much was that in 1999? (Don't use a $ sign, use 2 decimal places.)

The height is??? I somehow got the width
EleoNora [17]

To find the maximum height, we must find the x value at which the maximum height occurs.

The maximum height occurs at x = 0 because that is where y is the largest.

When we plug x= 0 into the function that is given in the question, we get 630 ft.

Hope it helps!

So I have another trigonometry question PLZ HELP ME I'm clueless at this rate I have like a little idea but I'm lost, SO PLZZZ!
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

1) The windsurfer is approximately 580 ft from each lifeguard stand.

2) The distance between the Earth and Mercury is approximately 61 million miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image other two situations described is presented in the attached image to this answer.

1) From the attached image, the windsurfer forms a right angled triangle with each of the lifeguard stand and the midpoint between the two lifeguard stands.

Hence, the angle at the top of the triangle is half of 30°, 15° and the distance from the midpoint of the lifeguard stands to the lifeguard stands is 300/2 = 150 ft.

Let the required distance of the windsurfer from each of the lifeguard stands be x.

Using trigonometric relations,

Sin 15° = (150/x)

x = 150 ÷ sin 15° = 150 ÷ 0.2588

x = 579.6 ft = 580 ft to the nearest whole number

2) From the image, the Sun, Earth and Mercury form a triangle.

Let the possible distance between the Earth and Mercury be y.

Using cosine rule,

y² = 36² + 93² - (2×36×93×cos 22°)

y² = 3,736.5769098208

y = √3,736.5769098208 = 61.13 million miles = 61 million miles to the nearest million miles.

Hope this Helps!!!
