Right so it would be 509 sq ft
The tangent of the angle gives the ratio of the height of the lighthouse to the boat's distance
.. tan(angle of depression) = (lighthouse height)/(boat distance)
Then the distance to the boat is
.. boat distance = (lighthouse height)/tan(angle of depression)
We want to find the difference between two distances, so
.. boat travel = (lighthouse height)*(1/tan(first angle) -1/(tan(second angle))
.. = (200 ft)*(1/tan(17°31') -1/tan(46°41'))
.. ≈ 445.10 ft
Answer:
y= 0,-2
Hope this helps!
First we need a point (x,y) : (A, 7)
<span>Now slope (from f'(A)) = 15 </span>
<span>Next, the equation (using point slope formula) </span>
<span>y - 7 = 15 (x -A) </span>
<span>y = 15 (x - A) + 7 </span>
<span>Now in the x spot we put 'A-.01' </span>
<span>y = 15 ( A - .01 - A) +7= 15(-.01) +7 = -.15+ 7 = 6.85
hope this helps</span>
