In order to estimate the height of a building, two students stand at a certain distance from the building at street level. from

this point, they find the angle of elevation from the street to the top of the building to be 39°. they then move 300 feet closer to the building and find the angle of elevation to be 50°. assuming that the street is level, estimate the height of the building to the nearest foot

Let h represent the height of the building. Then the difference between the two angle measurement locations is
.. h/tan(39°) -h/tan(50°) = 300 ft
.. h = (300 ft)/(1/tan(39°) -1/tan(50°))
.. h ≈ 758 ft

The height of the building is about 758 feet.

Let f be a function such that f(x)=2x-4 is defined on the domain.2 is less than or equal to x and x is lss than or equal to 6. T
STALIN [3.7K]
F(x) = 2x - 4
f(2 ≤ x) = 2(2 ≤ x) - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2(x ≥ 2) - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2(x) ≥ 2(2) - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2x ≥ 4 - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2x ≥ 0
f(x ≥ 2) = x ≥ 0

f(x) = 2x - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2(x ≤ 6) - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2(x) ≤ 2(6) - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2x ≤ 12 - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2x ≤ 8
f(x ≤ 6) = x ≤ 4

Which expression is equivalent to -4/7 - 8/9 + 4/7 - 9/8
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

<em>I misunderstood the question before, but here are two expressions equivalent to -4/7 - 8/9 + 4/7 - 9/8. </em>

71/72 + 70/72 +4/72

-1/7 - 3/7 - 5/9 - 3/9 + 2/7 +2/7 - 4/8 - 5/8

<em>Solved: -2 1/72</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

I could simply take the answer you get when combining all of the fractions, and I can make a new expression out of it. For example, I could use: 71/72+ 70/72+4/72. Or I could break apart all of the original fractions into smaller fractions. Example: -1/7 - 3/7 - 5/9 - 3/9 + 2/7 +2/7 - 4/8 - 5/8.

<em>To solve: Start by combining -4/7 and 4/7 to make 0, shortening your equation. Then continue by making the fractions remaining, 8/9 and -9/8, have a common denominator. To do this, we multiply -8/9 by 8, and -9/8 by 9. Then, we have -64/72 and -81/72. Then, we can combine the numerators of the fractions, as they have common denominators, and we get the fraction -145/72. We can then simplify this to -2 1/72.</em>

<em>Hope this helps!</em>
