Answer:

Approx. 11 ft. See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function is the easiest tool to use here. tan 24 degrees = opp / adj = (5 ft) / x. We are to find x. Multiplying both sides of this equation by x, we get x * tan 24 degrees = 5 ft. Thus, x = (5 ft) / (tan 24 degrees) = 11.23 ft, or approx. 11 ft.

astronomers measure large distances in light years one light year is the distance that light can travel in one year or approxima

sveticcg [70]

What you can do in this case is the following rule of three to find the result:
1 light year ---> 5.88 * 10 ^ 12 miles
3.2 * 10 ^ 2 light year ---> x
Clearing x we have:
x = ((3.2 * 10 ^ 2) / (1)) * (5.88 * 10 ^ 12)
x = 1.88 * 10 ^ 15 miles
answer:
In scientific notation, approximately it is 1.88 * 10 ^ 15 miles

Algebra I<br> Evaluate each function. h ( n ) = 2 n − 5 ; Find h ( 2 )

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$h ( 2 ) = - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Two-Variable Functions</u>

A function expresses the relation between two variables in such a way that for each input for the independent variable n, there one and only one value for the function h(n). If it's explicitly given as an equation, then we can use values for n as we wish, and compute the different values of h(n).

The question provides the following function

$h ( n ) = 2 n - 5$
