Charlie is late for the hot-air balloon rally. He stops his car 65 meters from a hot-air balloon already in flight. While Charli

e watches the balloon ascend, he tilts his eyes up from 28º until he is watching at an angle of elevation of 66º. Find the vertical distance to the nearest tenth of a meter that the balloon ascended while Charlie watched.

Answer: 111.4m

Explanation:

1) Trigonometric ratios

You only need to use tangent ratio.

tangent ratio = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg = balloon height / horizontal distance

2) First, find the height of the ballon when he is watching at an angle of elevation of 28°

tangent ratio = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg = balloon height / horizontal distance

tan(28°) = balloon height/65m ⇒balloon height = tan(28°)×65m

balloon height = 34.56m

3) Second, find the height of the balloon,when he is watching at an angle of elevation of 66°

tan(66°) = height of the balloon / 65m ⇒ height of the balloon = tan(66°)×65m

height of the balloon = 145.99m

4) Vertical distance the balloon ascended while Charlie watched.

Subtract the final initial height from the final height:

145.99m - 34.56m = 111.43m

4) Round to the nearest tenth: 111.4 m

A well know Statistical Institution claims that the average College tuition for a law degree costs at least thirty five thousand
kirill [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

Below are the null and alternative Hypothesis,

Null Hypothesis, H0: μ = 35000

Alternative Hypothesis, Ha: μ < 35000

Test statistic,

z = (xbar - mu)/(sigma/sqrt(n))

z = (33450 - 35000)/(5978/sqrt(50))

z = -1.83

P-value Approach

P-value = 0.0336

As P-value >= 0.02, fail to reject null hypothesis.

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the average College tuition for a law degree costs at least thirty five thousand dollars.

Solve the simultaneous equations<br> x-6y=5<br> xy - 2y2 = 6<br> -<br> Show clear algebraic working.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

(- 7, - 2 ) , (9.5, 0.75 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

x - 6y = 5 ( add 6y to both sides )

x = 5 + 6y → (1)

xy - 2y² = 6 → (2)

Substitute x = 5 + 6y into (2)

(5 + 6y)y - 2y² = 6 ← distribute and rearrange left side

5y + 6y² - 2y² = 6

4y² + 5y = 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

4y² + 5y - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(y + 2)(4y - 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for y

y + 2 = 0 ⇒ y = - 2

4y - 3 = 0 ⇒ 4y = 3 ⇒ y = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75

Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of x

y = - 2 : x = 5 + 6(- 2) = 5 - 12 = - 7 ⇒ (- 7, - 2 )

y = 0.75 : x = 5 + 6(0.75) = 5 + 4.5 = 9.5 ⇒ (9.5, 0.75 )

Define mean. Then determine the mean of the following data set (22,18,38,6,24,18)
STALIN [3.7K]

Mean is the average number in the data set.

To get the average we first add all the numbers.

After we add all these numbers we then divide by the number of numbers in the data set.

So we do 22+18+38+6+24+18 which is equal to 126 there are six numbers so we divide 126 by 6. This gives us a mean of 21.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE:

Another example of this is the data set (4,65,7,34,5)

We first add all the numbers and get 115 then we divide by 5 and get 23 as the mean.

<h2>angle in triangle</h2>

because the triangle above is an isosceles triangle, then both angles are of the same value.

and one thing you should know, the angle above shows the straight angle.

<em>so the sum of all angles is 180</em><em>°</em>

<u>can be written like </u><u>this</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

(5x+13)°+(3x+7)°=180°

5x + 13 + 3x + 7 = 180

8x + 20 = 180

8x = 180 - 20

8x = 160

x = 20

<em>(*the third choice is correct)</em>
