Answer:

The boat is 5727.25ft far from the coast

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the figure given.

We need to find how far is the boat from the coast = AB

Angle of elevation = 2°

The lighthouse on the coast is 200 feet tall, AC = 200 ft

We have

           tan2=\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{200}{AB}\\\\AB=\frac{200}{tan2}=5727.25ft

The boat is 5727.25ft far from the coast

Hi, can you help to find (all the roots/zeros), please!!!
OLga [1]

Solution

Given the quadratic equation

x^2-2x-38=0

we need to find the zeros of the equation

To do that, we use the completing the square method

Step 1. Add 38 to both sides

\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x^2-2x-38+38=38 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x^2-2x=38 \end{gathered}

Step 2: add the square of half of the coefficient of x to both sides

That is;

\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x^2-2x+(\frac{1}{2}\cdot(-2))^2=38+(\frac{1}{2}\cdot(-2))^2 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x^2-2x+1=38+1 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x^2-2x+1=39 \\  \\ \Rightarrow(x-1)^2=39 \end{gathered}

Step 3: Simplify the above expression;

\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x-1=\pm\sqrt[]{39} \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=1\pm\sqrt[]{39} \end{gathered}
