Let the distance from the engineer to the base of the building be x, then
tan 22 = 450/x
x = 450/tan 22 = 1,113.79

Therefore the distance from the engineer to the base of the building to the nearest foot = 1,114 feet

Jessica is organizing a guided tour of the rain forest. The average profit per person that the touring company makes is given by
Allushta [10]

As a practical equation, this one doesn't make much sense -- why would the profit per person have a term proportional to the number of people?  Let's just go with it.

18x + \dfrac{35}{x}

= \dfrac{18x^2}{x} + \dfrac{35}{x}

= \dfrac{18x^2 + 35}{x}

That's the answer to the first part.

35/x represents a portion of the profit that's 35/x per person, or a constant $35 per tour.
