Let the distance of the engineer from the base of the building be x, then
tan 38 = 300/x
x = 300/tan 38 = 300/0.7813 = 383.98

Therefore, the distance from the engineer to the base of the building to the nearest whole foot is 384 feet.

Thanks been trying for ages

Answer:

x₁ = 3,29296875

x₂ = 3,276659786

x₃ = 3,279420685

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a recurrent relationship between xₙ₊₁ and xₙ

To get x₁, write the formula with n=0:

x_1 = 3+ \frac{3}{x_0^2}

Then fill in what you know, x₀=3.2. This gives you x₁.

Repeat for n=1,... and so forth.

Excel can do this effectively, see picture.
