Refer to the figure.
Let AB be the height of the pole; CD be the height of the transit; BC is the distance from the base of the pole to the transit.

Triangle ADE is a right triangle with angle D measuring 26 degrees. Using the tangent function, we have
     tan\:26^{\circ} =\frac{AE}{120}
So, 
     AE=120\:tan\:26^{\circ}
     AE=58.53\:

Therefore, the overall height of the pole is 
     AB=58.53+8=66.53\:feet

The height of the pole is 66.53 feet.

Based on the polynomial reminder theorem, what is the value of the function when x= -5
densk [106]

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a polynomial in x

F (x)= x^4 + 12x^3 + 30x^2 - 12x + 70

We have to find the remainder when the above polynomial is divided by x+5

Remainder theorem says that f(x) gives remainder R when divided by polynomial x-a means f(a) = R

Applying the above theorem we can say that value of the function when x =-5

= Remainder when f is divided by x+5

= F(-5)

Substitute the value of -5 in place of x

= (-5)^4 + 12(-5)^3 + 30(-5)^2 - 12(-5) + 70

= 625-1500+750+60+70

= 5

Hence answer is 5

Answer:

sin( -∅ )

- 1 / csc ( ∅ )

1 / csc ( -∅ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since sin(x) is and odd function (a function where f(-a) = f(a) ).

-sin( ∅ ) = sin( -∅ )

On the other hand, we know that sin( ∅ ) = 1 / csc ( ∅ )

Another odd function, so the same as before applies.

-sin( ∅ ) = -1 / csc ( ∅ )

-sin( ∅ ) = 1 / csc ( -∅ )
