Answer:

960.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is formed where the distance between Jack and the base of the building is one of the triangles legs and the height of the building plus 5 feet is the other leg (let's call it x). The included angle between the hypotenuse and the distance between Jack and the base of the building is 67°. From definition:

tan(α) = opposite/adjacent

tan(67) = x/400

x = tan(67)*400

x = 965.7 ft

Then, the height of the building is 965.7 ft - 5 ft = 960.7 ft

Answer: 947.34 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the trigonometric functions.  

tan α = opposite side / adjacent side  

Where α is the angle that His line of sight forms with the top of the building, the opposite side is the height of the building minus 5, and the adjacent side is the distance between him and the building (400)

Replacing with the values given:  

tan 67 = x/ 400

Solving for x  

tan 67 (400) =x  

x= 942.34 feet

We have to add 5 feet, since we calculated the height of the building minus the eye level.

942.34 +5 = 947.34 feet

Use the following information for problems 1 – 3. Suppose you sign a contract for an annual salary of $50,000 with a guaranteed
erik [133]

Initial salary =  $50,000 .

Rate of raise = 5% each year.

Therefore, each next year salary would be 105% that is 1.05 times.

5% of 50,000 = 0.05 × 50000 = 2500.

Therefore raise is $2500 each year.

According to geometric sequence first term 50000 and common ratio 1.05.

Applying geometric sequence formula

a_n = ar^{n-1}

1) a_n = 50000(1.05)^{n-1}

2) In order to find salary in 5 years we need to plug n=5, we get

a_5 = 50000(1.05)^{5-1}= 50000(1.05)^4

= 50000(1.21550625)

<h3>=$60775.3125.</h3>

3) In order to find the total salary in 10 years we need to apply sum of 10 terms formula of a geometric sequence.

S_n = \frac{a(1-r^n}{1-r}

Plugging n=10, a = 50000 and r= 1.05.

S_10 = \frac{50000(1-(1.05)^{10}}{1-1.05}

S_10 = \frac{50000(0.050)^{10}}{0.05}

= 628894.62678.

<h3>Therefore , you will have earned $ 628894.62678 in total salary by the end of your 10th year.</h3>

Part 2: Solve the following word problem. Show all work to receive full credit..
lys-0071 [83]

The numerical representation and final elevation of the fish relative to sea level are :

  • Final position = -13.52 + 7.8
  • Final position = - 5.72

<u>Given the Parameters</u> :

Initial depth of fish = - 13.52

Change in elevation of fish = 7.8 feets

Positions below sea level are represented as negative values (-) ;

Hence, initial position of fish = - 13.52

Change in position = Rise in depth of 7.8 feets

<u>The numerical representation of the final position of the </u><u>fish</u><u> </u><u>can</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> written thus</u> :

  • Final position = Initial position + change in position

  • Final position = - 13.52 + 7.8

Hence, the final position of the fish will be :

  • Final position of fish = -13.52 + 7.8 = - 5.72

Find the equation of a line parallel to y=-10x-5 passing through the coordinate (-3,5)
Allushta [10]
With a given parallel line and a given point on the line
we can use the point-line method:  y-y0=m(x-x0)
where
y=mx+k is the given line, and
(x0,y0) is the given point.

Here
m=-10, k=-5, (x0,y0)=(-3,5)

=> the required line L is given by:
L:  y-5=-10(x-(-3))

on simplification
L: y=-10x-30+5
L: y=-10x-25
