Answer: 34.64 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A boat is 60 m from the base of a lighthouse.

The angle of depression between the lighthouse and the boat is 37°.

By using trigonometric ratios :

\tan x=\dfrac{\text{Side opposite to }x}{\text{Side adjacent to }x}

here x= 37°, side opposite to x = height of lighthouse (h) , side adjacent to x = 60 m

\tan 37^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.57735=\dfrac{h}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h= 60\times0.57735\approx34.64

Hence, the lighthouse is 34.64 m tall.

Simplify:( 2x - 2)( 3x^2 + 9x - 3). What is the coefficient of the quadratic term?
mario62 [17]
You can use the distributive property and multiply this out.
  2x(3x² +9x -3) -2(3x² +9x -3)
  = 6x³ +18x²-6x -6x² -18x +6
  = 6x³ +12x² -24x +6

The coefficient of the x² term is 12.

_____
You can do this in your head using the techniques of Vedic mathematics. Write the coefficients of the two expressions, putting 0 for the x² coefficient in the first factor.
  0 2 -2
  3 9 -3

The x² term of the product will be the sum of the products of terms whose degrees add to 2. That is, the first term of the first row times the last term of the second row, plus the product of the middle two numbers in each row, plus the product of the first term in the second row times the last term in the first row.

Here's a more visual representation of the products that get added to get the coefficient of the x² term.
  0 2 -2
  3 9 -3 . . . . product is 0

  0 2 -2
  3 9 -3 . . . . product is 18

  0 2 -2
  3 9 -3 . . . . product is -6

The sum, of course, is 0 +18 -6 = 12

What is the distance apart (-6, -4.7) and (-6, 4.1)
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

8.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, to find the distance between two points, you would use the distance formula, but these two points have the same x-coordinate, meaning they will form a vertical line when connected. To find the length of a vertical line you find the distance between the y-coordinates, in this case -4.7 and 4.1. Finding the distance is the same as finding the absolute value of the difference:

|4.1 -(-4.7)|

|4.1 + 4.7|

|8.8|
