Answer:

John ski down the mountain is 1285.37 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : John is skiing on a mountain with an altitude of 1200 feet. The angle of depression is 21.

To find : About how far does  John ski down the mountain ?

Solution :

We draw a rough image of the question for easier understanding.

Refer the attached figure below.

According to question,

Let AB be the height of mountain i.e. AB=1200 feet

The angle of depression is 21 i.e. \theta=21^\circ

We have to find how far does  John ski down the mountain i.e. AC = ?

Using trigonometric,

\cos\theta = \frac{AB}{AC}

\cos(21)= \frac{1200}{AC}

AC=\frac{1200}{\cos(21)}

AC=1285.37

Therefore, John ski down the mountain is 1285.37 feet.

What is the volume hight-3 and wingth-10
inn [45]

Answer:

30 SQUARE units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the problem only includes two dimensions, we solve for area, not volume. Area=width*height, or 3*10=30. Because we're solving for area the answer is 30 square units.

Multiply the polynomials show steps
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

3a^{4} + 11a³ - 7a² + 18a - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>When multiplying with two brackets, you need to multiply the three terms, (a²), (4a) and (-6) from the first bracket to all the terms in the second brackets, (3a²), (-a) and (3) individually. I have put each multiplied term in a bracket so it is easier.</u>

(a² + 4a - 6) × (3a² - a + 3) =

(a² × <em>3a²</em>) + {a² × <em>(-a)</em>} + (a² × <em>3</em>) + (4a × <em>3a²</em>) + {4a × <em>(-a)</em>} + (4a × <em>3</em>) + {(-6) × <em>a²</em>) + {(-6) × <em>(-a)</em>} + {(-6) × <em>3</em>}

<u>Now we can evaluate the terms in the brackets. </u>

(a² × 3a²) + {a² × (-a)} + (a² × 3) + (4a × 3a²) + {4a × (-a)} + (4a × 3) + {(-6) × a²) + {(-6) × (-a)} + {(-6) × 3} =

3a^{4} + (-a³) + 3a² + 12a³ + (-4a²) + 12a + (-6a²) + 6a + (-18)

<u>We can open the brackets now. One plus and one minus makes a minus. </u>

3a^{4} + (-a³) + 3a² + 12a³ + (-4a²) + 12a + (-6a²) + 6a + (-18) =

3a^{4} -a³ + 3a² + 12a³ -4a² + 12a -6a² + 6a -18

<u>Evaluate like terms.</u>

3a^{4} -a³ + 3a² + 12a³ -4a² + 12a -6a² + 6a -18 = 3a^{4} + 11a³ - 7a² + 18a - 18

Write a function to represent the set of ordered pairs.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Option C   f (x) = x^ 2 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the relation describing the set of ordered pairs does not change at a costing rate

y_2 -y_1 = 7-2 = 5\\\\y_3 -y_2 = 14- 7 = 7\\\\y_4 - y_3 = 23- 14 = 9

Therefore the relationship is not linear.

However, the exchange rate y_n- y_{n-1} increases by a factor of 2 units when n increases 1 unit. This allows us to conclude that the relationship is quadratic

Note that the following ordered pairs belong to the function

y = x ^ 2

A = {(2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16), (5, 25)}

The set of ordered pairs that we have is:

B = {(2, 2), (3, 7), (4, 16), (5, 23)}

Note that there is a similarity between both sets of ordered pairs.

In set B the values of y are always 2 units less than the values in y of the set A.

Then we deduce that since the function that models the set A is y = x ^ 2 then the function that contains the ordered pairs of the B set is:

y = x ^ 2 -2

The correct option is option C) f (x) = x^ 2 - 2
