Create a right triangle.

The height of the leg will be 1250 feet. We are given an angle of depression of 47°, so we can draw an imaginary line parallel to the base of the triangle.

By the AIA Theorem, the angle of the bottom right side of the right triangle will be 47 degrees.

We want to find the distance between the coast and the island. In other words, find the length of the base of the triangle. We can do so with trigonometric ratios.

tan47 = 1250/x

x = 1166.

Write the equation for the following relation. Include all of your work in your final answer.
Tamiku [17]

Given:

The relation is

Q=\{(x,y):(2,8),(3,27),(4,27),(5,125),...\}

To find:

The equation for the given relation.

Solution:

(2,8) is an ordered pair of given relation. So, y=8 at x=2.

8=2\times 2\times 2

8=2^3

Similar,

27=3^3

64=4^3

125=5^3

It means, y-values are cube of x-values. So,

y=x^3

Therefore, the required equation for the relation is y=x^3.

Find the nth term of the sequence:<br>23, 19, 13, 5, -5.......<br>​
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence :

23, 19, 13, 5, -5.......

From the sequence, the common difference is unequal, as their is a constant Increment in the difference after successive numbers.

19 - 23 = -4

13 - 19 = -6

5 - 13 = -8

-5 - 5= -10

Hence an constant difference of - 2 after each successive difference.

Hence, this is a quadratic sequence

With the formula

an² + bn + c
