Answer: the horizontal distance travelled is 2352 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of the airplane, the horizontal distance that it travelled and the angle, θ formed with the ground combine to form a right angle triangle.

The horizontal distance that it travelled represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

The altitude that it reached represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. To determine the horizontal distance that it has travelled, h, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side

Therefore,

Tan 12 = 500/h

h = 500/Tan 12 = 500/0.2126

h = 2352 feet

faltersainse [42]

Answer: The width of the class interval would be 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the class width :

\text{Class width }=\dfrac{\text{Range} }{\text{Number of classes}}

Given : The range of a distribution were 89 .i.e. Range = 89

The approximate number of class intervals = 14

Then, the width of the class interval would be

 \dfrac{89}{14}=6.35714285714\approx6

[Round to the nearest integer.]

Hence, the width of the class interval would be 6.

How did you slove the problem and what's the answer​
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:  b) 2x² - 5x - 3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Distribute each term in the first parenthesis into the second term and then add like terms.

  (2x + 1)(x - 3)

= 2x(x - 3)    +   1(x - 3)

= 2x² - 6x    +    x - 3

= 2x²        - 5x      - 3
