HELP PLEASE!! As John walks 16 ft towards a chimney, the angle of elevation from his eye to the top of the chimney changes from

30° to 45°. Identify the height of the chimney from John's eye level to the top of the chimney rounded to the nearest foot.

Answer: 22 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that there are two right triangles in the figure attached: ACD and BCD. Where "h" is the height of the chimeney from John's eye level to the top of the chimney.

You need to use the trigonometric identity $tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ for this exercise.

For the triangle BCD:

$tan(45\°)=\frac{h}{x}$

Solve for h:

$h=xtan(45\°)\\h=x$

For the triangle ACD:

$tan(30\°)=\frac{h}{x+16}$

Substitute $h=x$ and solve for h:

$tan(30\°)=\frac{h}{h+16}\\\\(h+16)(tan(30\°))=h\\\\0.577h+9.237=h\\\\9.237=h-0.577h\\\\9.237=0.423h\\\\h=\frac{9.237}{0.423}\\\\h=21.836ft$

Rounded to the nearest foot:

$h=22ft$

A general contractor is constructing a building that requires a concrete foundation that is to be 35 feet by 12 feet and 3 inche

inessss [21]

First we need to calculate the volume which is Base*depth or length*width*depth
first we have to change all the units so they are the same, 3 inches in this case will equal 1/4feet
multiply all the numbers together
35ft*12ft*1/4foot= 105 cubic feet
however the problem says the cost per cubic *yards*
so take the 105 cubic feet and divide by 3 (3 feet to a yard)
105/3 = 35 cubic yards
the cost of 35 cubic yards of concrete =
35*125= $4375

Answer:

2.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

We make use of the binomial probability equation, which is as follows:

P = [n! / (n - r)! r!] p ^ r * q ^ (n - r)

where,

n total number samples = 20

r is the selected number = 8

p, sin este valor no se puede realizar el ejercicio y no lo mencionas, pero encontré una pregunta igual y era de 20.37%, es decir 0.2037

q = 1 - 0.2037 = 0.7963

reemplazando:

P = [20! / ((20 - 8)! * 8!)] * [0.2037 ^ 8 * 0.7963 ^ (20 - 8)]

P = 125970 * 1.92685405*10^-7

P = 0.024 = 2.4%

Let f(x) = x+2/x+6 <br> f^-1(-6) =

GREYUIT [131]

We can explicitly find the inverse. If $f^{-1}(x)$ is the inverse of $f(x)$ , then

$f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right) = \dfrac{f^{-1}(x)+2}{f^{-1}(x)+6} = x$

Solve for the inverse :

$\dfrac{f^{-1}(x) + 2}{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x$

$\dfrac{f^{-1}(x) + 6 - 4}{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x$

$1 - \dfrac4{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x$

$1 - x = \dfrac4{f^{-1}(x) + 6}$

$f^{-1}(x) + 6 = \dfrac4{1-x}$

$\implies f^{-1}(x) = \dfrac4{1-x} - 6$

Then when x = -6, we have

$f^{-1}(-6) = \dfrac4{1-(-6)} - 6 = \dfrac47-6 = \boxed{-\dfrac{38}7}$

Alternatively, we can first solve for x such that $f(x) = -6$ . Then taking the inverse of both sides, $x = f^{-1}(-6)$ . (The difference in this method is that we don't compute the inverse for all x.)

We have

$\dfrac{x+2}{x+6} = -6$

$x + 2 = -6 (x + 6)$

$x + 2 = -6x - 36$

$7x = -38$

$\implies x = \boxed{-\dfrac{38}7}$
