Answer:

h ≈ 30.10  ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Marie measures the angle of elevation from a point A to a tree as 34° . She works 10 ft directly towards the tree and discovered the new angle of elevation is 41°. The height of the tree can be computed below.

let

a = distance from point B to the tree

h = height of the tree

The right angle triangle formed from point B,  we can use tan to find the height of the tree.

tan 41°  = opposite /adjacent

tan 41° = h/a

cross multiply

h = a tan 41°

The right angle formed from point A

tan 34° = opposite/adjacent

tan 34° = h/(a + 10)

(a + 10)tan 34° = h

Therefore,

a tan 41° = (a + 10)tan 34°

0.8692867378

a =  0.6745085168(a + 10)

0.8692867378a = 0.6745085168a + 6.7450851684

collect like terms

0.8692867378a - 0.6745085168a = 6.7450851684

0.194778221a = 6.7450851684

a = 6.7450851684/0.194778221

a = 34. 629565532  ft

height of the tree can be find with

h = a tan 41°

h = 34. 629565532 × 0.8692867378

h =  30.103022053  ft

h = 30.10 ft

Can I please have some help????

Answer:

avn= -8 + (n-1)(-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence formula= avn= av1 + (n-1)d

av1= first number in the sequence

d= common difference

n= the number of the term to find

The common difference is -7 so d=-7 and you plug it into the equation. The first number in the sequence is -8 so av1.

There is no specific n to find so it remains n.

I hope this helps! Let me know if this helps.

Rewrite the expression $6j^2 - 4j 12$ in the form $c(j p)^2 q$, where $c$, $p$, and $q$ are constants. What is $\frac{q}{p}$
solniwko [45]

Rewrite the expression  6j^2 - 4j + 12$ in the form $c(j + p)^2 + q$, where $c$, $p$, and $q$ are constants. What is $\frac{q}{p}$

The ratio of \frac{q}{p}  = - 34

How to solve such questions?

Such Questions can be easily solved just by some Algebraic manipulations and simplifications. We just try to make our expression in the form which question asks us. This is the best method to solve such questions as it will definitely lead us to correct answers. One such method is completing the square method.

Completing the square is a method that is used for converting a quadratic expression of the form ax^{2} + bx + c to the vertex form

a(x - h)^{2} + k. The most common application of completing the square is in solving a quadratic equation. This can be done by rearranging the expression obtained after completing the square: a(x + m)^{2} + n, such that the left side is a perfect square trinomial

$6j^2 - 4j +12$

=  $6(j^2 - \frac{2}{3} j )+12$

= $6(j^2 - \frac{2}{3} j  +  \frac{1}{9}  )+\frac{102}{9}                   (Completing Square method)

=6( j- \frac{1}{3} )^{2}  +  \frac{34}{3}

On comparing with the given equation we get

p = - \frac{1}{3}     and q = \frac{34}{3}

∴ \frac{q}{p} = \frac{\frac{34}{3} }{\frac{-1}{3} }

= - 34

please help me with this question! i will give 40 points and brainliest! please help with answer and explanation. thanks you so
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

to find the sale price, you need to find what 34% of 82 is.

82 x 0.34 = 27.88

subtract that from the original price

82 - 27.88 = $54.12

you could also multiply 82 by (1 - .34) to get the same answer

82 x (.66) = $54.12

sale price is $54.12

hope this helps:)
