Okay, so here's the equation:
tan 44 = d/950
<span>0.01770469927 (I used a calculator to solve tan 44, so let's just use to the nearest hundredth)
</span>0.02 = d/950
100d = 1900
isolate d:
d = 19
19 feet

You have to assume that P is on the coast.
You also have to assume that d and the horizontal dotted line defining the 46 degrees are parallel. 

Givens
The angle of depression = 46 degrees
The height of the helicopter = 950 feet.

Formula
height helicopter / d = Tan(46)

The thing is that the angle of elevation from P forms an angle with the angle of depression that  made 2 alternate interior angles which are equal when two parallel lines and a traversal  are given.

The line connecting P and the helicopter is the traversal. 

Solution
height of helicopter = 950
d = ??
angle = 46o

Tan(46) = 950/d
d = 950 / tan(46)
d = 950 / 1.03553
d = 917 feet from the island to P <<<<<< answer

Graph: f(x) = (1/4)x
amid [387]

Answer: The initial value of a function is its value when equals zero. This is the same as the -intercept. We can see from the graph that our line crosses the -axis at the point zero, eight. Therefore, the initial value is eight.

Show that the transformation T defined by<br>T(x1, x2) = (2x1 - 3x2, X1+4, 5x2) is not linear.<br>​
erastovalidia [21]

Let <em>u</em> = (1, 0) and <em>v</em> = (0, 1). Then

<em>T</em> (<em>u</em>) = (2*1 - 3*0, 1 + 4, 5*0) = (2, 5, 0)

<em>T</em> (<em>v</em>) = (2*0 - 3*1, 0 + 4, 5*1) = (-3, 4, 5)

=>   <em>T</em> (<em>u</em>) + <em>T</em> (<em>v</em>) = (-1, 9, 5)

but

<em>T</em> (<em>u</em> + <em>v</em>) = <em>T</em> (1, 1) = (2*1 - 3*1, 1 + 4, 5*1) = (-1, 5, 5)

=>   <em>T</em> (<em>u</em> + <em>v</em>) ≠ <em>T</em> (<em>u</em>) + <em>T</em> (<em>v</em>)

which means <em>T</em> does not preserve addition, so it is not linear.
