A 21-foot tree casts a 38-foot shadow directly down a slope when the angle of elevation of the sun is 32 degrees. Find theta, th

Answer: 35 degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation makes the height of the tree as opposite, while the shadow it casts is the hypotenuse.

Using trigonometry

[email protected] = opposite/hypotenuse

[email protected] = 21/38

[email protected] = 0.55

@ = sin^0.55

@ = 33.54

@ = 35 degree, to the nearest tenth degree.

Answer:

3.97°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

θ = desired angle

α =32° - θ = the angle above ground to the top of the slope

θ = 32° - a

If angle of the sun is 32° above a level horizon, then the angle at the top of the slope is given as δ = 90 - 32 = 58°. Now we can measure a

38/sin(58°) = 21/sin a

sin a = [21 sin(58°)]/38

Sin a = 0.47

a = arcsin 0.47 = 28.03

Since,

θ = 32° - a

θ = 32° - 28.03° = 3.97°

Given M is the midpoint of segment TV. TM = 7x -2 and MV = 4x + 13, find TV.
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

TV = 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Since M is the midpoint, that means the two subsegments are equal so

7x - 2 = 4x + 13

7x - 4x - 2 = 13

7x - 4x = 13 + 2

3x = 15

x = 5

then

TM = 7x - 2 = 7*5 -2 = 35 - 2 = 33

TV = 2 * TM = 2 * 33 = 66

The AAA system contains 3 independent components in parallel, each with probability of failure 0.4. Find the expected number of
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it fails, or it does not. The components are independent. We want to know how many outcomes until r failures. The expected value is given by

E = \frac{r}{p}

In which r is the number of failures we want and p is the probability of a failure.

In this problem, we have that:

r = 1 because we want the first failed unit.

p = 0.4[\tex]So[tex]E = \frac{r}{p} = \frac{1}{0.4} = 2.5

The expected number of systems inspected until the first failed unit is 2.5

Find the domain and range of the function graphed in the picture.
algol [13]

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs, or x coordinates of a function. In this case, any point on the curve has an x coordinate that is 4 or smaller.

Therefore, the domain is the set of numbers x such that x \le 4

To write this in interval notation, we would write (-\infty, 4] This interval starts at negative infinity and stops at 4. We exclude infinity with the curved parenthesis and include 4 with the square bracket.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The range is the set of possible y outputs. Every point on this curve has a y coordinate that is either 0 or it is larger than 0.

The range is the set of y values such that y \ge 0

In interval notation, it would be written as [0, \infty) This time we start at 0 (including this endpoint) and "stop" at infinity

note: we always use curved parenthesis at positive or negative infinity because we cannot reach either infinity
