Answer: The answer is 767.72 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use tan since the problem requires u finding out the distance from the airport and ship and u only have the height of the balloon and the angle of depression. So then the equation becomes :

Tan21 = x/2000

Then you multiply by 2000 on both sides:

Tan21(2000) = x(2000)

The equation then becomes:

X= Tan21(2000)

so then x is: 767.72 ft

The horizontal distance is given by the formula:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
where:
θ=21
opposite=2000 ft
adjacent=a
thus calculating for a we get:
tan 21=2000/a
thus
a=2000/tan 21
a=5210.18 ft

Answer: 5210.18 ft

Triangle QRS is similar to triangle TUV. Using the image below, prove that lines RS and UV have the same slope. You must show al
N76 [4]

Explanation:

Lines will have same slope if they make the same angle with respect to the vertical or horizontal

__

The similarity statement ∆QRS ~ ∆TUV tells you that ∠R ≅ ∠U.

Angle R is the angle measured clockwise from vertical segment RQ to segment RS. Angle U is the angle measured clockwise from vertical segment UT to segment UV.

Segments RS and UV both make the same angle with a vertical segment, so have the same slope.

6300 and 530 compare the value of the 3
g100num [7]
Okay so the three in 6300 is 10 times bigger than the three and a 530 why because the three in six hundred thirty is in the hundredths place and the three in 530 is in the tenths place meaning that the 3 in 6300 is 10 times bigger than the one in 530. what do I mean by 10 times bigger? consider this 3 * 10 equals 30 or if you Annex a 0 at the end it would be 300 as in 6 thousand three hundred

given the exponential function f(x) and the logarithmic function g(x) which of the following statements is true
VladimirAG [237]

Given the exponential function f(x) and the logarithmic function g(x)  the true statement is given as

x- > \infty, f (x)- > \infty and g(x) - > \infty  Option A.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is logarithmic function g(x)?</h3>

Generally, The exponential function is a kind of mathematical function that may be represented using the notation f(x)=exp or ex. The word, unless otherwise mentioned, usually refers to the function of a real variable that has a positive value; however, it may be extended to complex numbers or applied to other mathematical objects such as matrices or Lie algebras.

In conclusion, the Exponential equation x = ay is defined as analogous to the logarithmic function y = logan. Only when (x = ay), (a > 0), and (a 1) does (y = logan). It is referred to as the logarithmic function of base a. Think about what it implies when the exponential function is inverted: x = ay.

Given the exponential function f(x) and the logarithmic function g(x)  the true statement is given as

x- > \infty, f (x)- > \infty and g(x) - > \infty  Option A.
