Answer:

  23 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationships between angle functions and side measures in a right triangle. The geometry of this problem can be modeled as a right triangle with one leg (h) equal to the height of the pole, and one leg (21 m) that is the shadow length on the ground. The angle of the sun's rays is the angle opposite the h leg, so we can use ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(48°) = h/(21 m)

  h = (21 m)tan(48°) ≈ 23.32 m

The height of the flagpole is about 23 meters.

Find two additional roots of P(x)=0.<br><br> 13+sqrt 3 and 7i
vova2212 [387]
So, x = 13, x = √3 and x =7i.

now, recall that for an EVEN radical, there are two possible roots, namely is say √3 is say hmmm some value "a", that means that a*a = √3, however, -a*-a is also √3, therefore, ±√3 are two valid values, and therefore -√3 is another one.

now.... keep in mind that, complex solutions or roots, never come all by their lonesome, their sister is always with them, the conjugate, so, for 7i or namely 0 + 7i, her sister is always around, 0 - 7i, which is the other root.

Answer: 3424.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data : 378, 361, 350, 375, 200, 391, 375, 368,  321

Number of data values = 9

Mean :\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum^n_{i=1} x_i}{n}

\\\\=\dfrac{378+361+350+375+200+391+375+368+321}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{3119}{9}\approx346.56

Variance = \dfrac{\sum^n_{i=1} (x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n-1}

\sum^n_{i=1} (x_i-\overline{x})^2 = (31.44)^2+(14.44)^2+(3.44)^2+(28.44)^2+(-146.56)^2+(44.44)^2+(28.44)^2+(21.44)^2+(-25.56)^2\\\\=27394.2224

Variance = \dfrac{27394.2224}{8}=3424.2775\approx3424.28
