Answer:

2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation

Sum of elements = average x number of elements

sum = (6)(4)

sum = 24

Add up the numbers we know: 3.4 + 10.7 + 7.8 = 21.9

24 - 21.9 = 2.1

This means the fourth number is 2.1

Answer:

2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the 4th number. To find the mean add the 4 numbers and divide by 4

( 3.4 + 10.7+7.8+x) /4 = 6

Multiply each side by 4

( 3.4 + 10.7+7.8+x) /4 *4= 6*4

( 3.4 + 10.7+7.8+x) = 24

Combine like terms

x+21.9=24

Subtract 21.9 from each side

x = 24-21.9

x =2.1

Answer: Without the pictures, the only questions we can answer are #2 and #4.

#2
Choice B is wider than the graph of y = 3x^2 + 2. In a quadratic function like this, the value in front of the x^2 controls the width. Any positive number smaller than 3 would be wider.

#4
Choice A has the correct order. Again, the value in front of the x^2 controls how wide or narrow the graph is. First, take the absolute value of each value. Then, place them in order from greatest to least. The greater the number the narrower the graph.

Answer:

The height of the plane is 405 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric Ratios

The situation can be represented as shown in the image below. The ground, the height H, and the direct distance to the plane to the shipwreck form a right triangle, where the trigonometric ratios stand.

Since the known distance is adjacent to the angle, and the required height is opposite to the given angle, we use the tangent ratio, defined as:

$\displaystyle \tan\ x=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}$
