Answer:

So, the distance from boat to matt is 455.81535feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given height of a cliff is 305 feet

and the measurement of the angle of depression to a boat on a lake is 42 degrees

so, we can draw diagram

Let's assume

distance from boat to matt is x

We can use trig

sin(42)=\frac{305}{x}

now, we can solve for x

x=\frac{305}{sin(42)}

x=455.81535feet

So, the distance from boat to matt is 455.81535feet

Can somebody help me with this one. It says use the vertical line test to determine which graph represents a function
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Only option C shows a function

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical line test is a visual way to determine if a curve is a graph of a function or not. A function can only have one output, y, for each unique input, x. This means that a vertical line made in the domain of the function can crosses the curve of the function only once. If it crosses the curve of the function more than once, then the curve is not a function.

In option A, a vertical line would cross two values, so it is not a function.

The curve of option B is a vertical line itself, so a vertical line would intersect an infinite amount of points; then it is not a function.

Option C is a function because a vertical line would only intersect the function's curve (which is a line) once.

True or false explain why
Korvikt [17]

Answer: False

The estimated points can be found first by counting on the x-axis then the y-axis. Negative numbers are to be counted downward on the y-axis, positive numbers are to be counted upwards on the y-axis. Negative numbers are to be counted to the left of the x-axis, positive numbers are to be counted to the right of the x-axis

Is 1/2+4/9 greater than 1
ladessa [460]
1/2 x 9/9 = 9/18
4/9 x 2/2 = 8/18

9/18 + 8/18 = 17/18

17/18 is less than 1

so your answer is false

hope this helps
