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

For f(x) = x3 – x2, which gives an output of 48?<br> O f(-8)<br> O fl-4)<br> O f(4)<br> O f(8)
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

f(4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The output is the value of f(x) for a given value of x ( the input )

Substitute the given values of x into f(x) to determine the output, that is

f(- 8) = (- 8)³ - (- 8)² = - 512 - 64 = - 576 ≠ 48

f(- 4) = (- 4)³ - (- 4)² = - 64 - 16 = - 80 ≠ 48

f(4) = 4³ - 4² = 64 - 16 = 48

Thus f(4) gives an output of 48
