Answer:

  34 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between adjacent and opposite sides of a right triangle and the trig function of the associated angle. Here, the relevant relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(10°) = (height of lifeguard)/(distance from shore)

Then the distance from shore is ...

  distance from shore = (height of lifeguard)/tan(10°) ≈ (6 ft)/(0.17633)

  distance from shore ≈ 34 ft

assuming the growth rate stays constant at 1.2%, how many doublings would take place in a 500- year period?
Juliette [100K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor per year is 1.012, so in 500 years is ...

  1.012^500

The number of doublings is the solution to ...

  2^n = 1.012^500

Taking logarithms, we have ...

  n·log(2) = 500·log(1.012)

  n = 500·log(1.012)/log(2) ≈ 8.6046

About 8.6 doublings will take place in 500 years.

Please help me with this question URGENT PLEASE ANSWER THIS MATH QUESTION
lesya [120]

Answer:

(4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The object is first at (0,0)

It is reflected across line x=-2, this means you draw the mirror line at x=-2 and count 2 equal units backwards to get the image.The image will be at ;y=0\\\\x=-2-2=-4\\\\\\=(-4,0)

The image (-4,0) is then reflected on the y-axis

You know reflection on the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same but the x-coordinate is changed to its opposite sign.

Hence;

(- -4,0)= (4,0)

The image will move 8 units towards positive x-axis.This is the same as moving 4 units from the mirror line at (0,0) and land at (4,0)
