Answer:

75.1^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have:

H = 452 m is the height of the Petronas tower

h = 1.75 m is the height of the woman

d = 120 m is the distance between the woman and the base of the tower

First of all, we notice that we want to find the angle of elevation between the woman's hat the top of the tower; this means that we have consider the difference between the height of the tower and the height of the woman, so

H' = H-h = 452-1.75=450.25 m

Now we notice that d and H' are the two sides of a right triangle, in which the angle of elevation is \theta. Therefore, we can write the following relationship:

tan \theta = \frac{H'}{d}

since

H' represents the side of the triangle opposite to \theta

d represents the side of the triangle adjacent to \theta

Solving the equation for \theta, we find the angle of elevation:

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{H'}{d})=tan^{-1}(\frac{450.25}{120})=75.1^{\circ}

A savings account earns 7.2 (APR) compounded monthly, so it earns 0.6% each month. Cooper has $1500 in the account now. if he de
iragen [17]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>Cooper will receive </em><em>$12.00</em><em> at the end of the month.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

Cooper has $1500 in the account now and he deposits an additional $500 at the beginning of the month.

So the total principal becomes 1500+500 = $2000

Given here,

APR = annual percentage rate = 7.2%

But as we have to calculate the monthly interest, so monthly interest rate would be =\dfrac{7.2}{12}=0.6\%

Time period = 1 month

So, the interest after 1 month will be,

\text{interest}=\dfrac{\text{Principal}\times \text{Rate of interest}\times \text{Time period}}{100}

=\dfrac{2000\times 0.6\times 1}{100}

=\$12.00

Therefore, Cooper will receive $12.00 at the end of the month.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

-3x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Again, you multiply -3 times x and you get -3x, then you multiply -3 times -6 and since you are multiplying two negative numbers the result becomes positive so you get +6. Result = -3x+6

Select all that appear in the DOMAIN {(-8,-12),(4,-8), (2, -10),(-10.-16) -16 -12 -10 -8 -2-4
Yuri [45]
Domain of a set of ordered pairs

We know the domain is the set of all x when is represented by ordered pairs: (x, y)

In this case {(-8,-12),(4,-8), (2, -10),(-10.-16) } we can observe that there are four x (the first number of each pair):

Domain = { -8, 4, 2, -10}

<h2>Domain = {-10, -8, 2, 4}</h2>
