Answer: The boat moved 768.51 feet  in that time .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of the lighthouse = 1000 feet

Angle depression to boat 'a' = 29°

Angle of depression  to shore 'b' = 44°

Consider ΔABC,

\tan 44\textdegree=\frac{AB}{BC}\\\\\tan 44\textdegree=\frac{1000}{BC}\\\\BC=\frac{1000}{\tan 44\textdegree}\\\\BC=1035.53\ feet

Now, Consider, ΔABD,

\tan 29\textdegree=\frac{AB}{BD}\\\\\tan 29\textdegree=\frac{1000}{BD}\\\\BD=\frac{1000}{\tan 29\textdegree}\\\\BD=1804.04\ feet

We need to find the distance that the boat moved in that time i.e. BC

so,

DC=BD-BC\\\\CD=1804.04-1035.53\\\\CD=768.51\ feet

Hence, the boat moved 768.51 feet  in that time .

Part 1) There are a lot of examples. The Colliseum in Rome is an example of an ellipse in architecture. Tires of cars are in a very good approximation a circle.  The Arch of triumph is an example of a parabola in the real world, as are many bridges, such as the golden gate bridge.
Part 2) The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension Bridge spanning the Golden Gate, a short strait in San Francisco. It is one of the wonders of the Modern World and it was opened in 1937. It cost around 500 million dollars in today's currency and it is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world and from land to land the distance is 1280 m. The height of the suspensions is 230 m.
Part 3) We can think of a parabola of the form y=ax^2 where we need to substitute the values to find a.

Which of the following are prime factorizations of the number 70? Check all<br> that apply.
Shtirlitz [24]

The prime factorization of 70 is 2*5*7

Further explanation:

First of all let us define prime factorization

Prime factorization consists of all the prime multiples of a number i.e. the factors should also be prime numbers

Given number is 70

The multiples of 70 are

70 = 2*35 => 35 is composite number

70 = 5*14 => 14 is a composite number

70 = 7*10 => 10 is a composite number

70 = 2*5*7 => All factors are prime so

The prime factorization of 70 is 2*5*7

adell [148]
Hello : 
f(x) = (2x-5)/3
<span>f−1(x) = (3x+5)/2 
because : f(x) 0 </span>f−1(x) = x and  f−1(x) 0 f(x) = x
f(x) 0 f−1(x) = f( f−1(x) ) = f ((3x+5)/2) = (2(3x+5)/2  - 5))/3 = 3x /3 =x
same cacul for :  f−1(x) 0 f(x) = x
