The top of a dam has an angle of elevation of 1.1 radians from a point on a river. Measuring the angle of elevation to the top o

f the dam from a point 155 feet farther downriver is 0.8 radians; assume the two angle measurements are taken at the same elevation above sea level. How high is the dam? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer: 335ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the angle of elevation is the ratio of the dam height h to the horizontal distance downriver of the observer. This gives us two equations for the height:

h= atan(1.1) = (155+a) tan(0.8)

⟹a= h/tan(1.3), 155+a= h/tan(0.8).

Subtracting the first equation from the second,

155=(155+a)−a =h/tan(0.8)−h/tan(1.1)

=h(1/tan(0.8)−1/tan(1.1)).

Solving for h,

h=155 ft (1tan(0.8)−1tan(1.1))−1

155(0.9713 - 0.5090)^-1

155(2.1631) ≈335 ft .

A briefcase has a three- digit lock code that doesn't include zero as a digit. What is the probability that the lock code consis
storchak [24]

Answer:

1/21.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 digits and the total number of permutations of 3 from 9 is 9P3

= 9!/6!  = 504.

There are 4 even digits so the number of permutations of 3 from these 4 is 4!  (4-3)!  = 4*3*2 = 24.

So the required probability =  24/504

= 1/21.

Match each exponential function to the description of its percent rate of change. 22% growth 12% decay 2% decay 20% growth 20% d
makvit [3.9K]

The exponential function is defined as y = a(1+r)^x, where "a" represents the original account and "r" the rate of growth or decay.

Then we have the following:

1) 22% grow

y = a( 1 + 22%/100 )^x = a(1.22)^x

So the solution is: 124(1.22)^x

2) 12% decay

y = a( 1 - 12%/100 )^x = a(0.88)^x

So the solution is: y = f(x) = 44(0.88)^x

3) 20% decay

y = a( 1 - 20%/100 )^x = a(0.8)^x

So the solution is: f(x) = 22(0.8)

4) 12% Groth

y = a( 1 + 12%/100 )^x = a(1.12)^x

So the solution is: f(x) = 42(1.12)^x
