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

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

8.  (0,-2)

9. (-2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucy's house is at (1,1)

Down means in the y coordinate , left means negative x

Down 3 means subtract 3 from y

left 1 means subtract 3 from x

(1-1, 1-3)

(0,-2)

9. Lucy is at (1,1)

3 units to the left

left means subtract 3 from x

Find a unit vector that has the same direction as the vector a and the opposite direction of the vector
nasty-shy [4]
The unit vector is given by the following formula:
 a '= (a) / (lal)
 Where,
 a: vector a
 lal: Vector module a
 We are looking for the module:
 lal = root ((- 15) ^ 2 + (8) ^ 2)
 lal = 17
 Same direction:
 a = -15i + 8j
 The unit vector is:
 a '= (1/17) * (- 15i + 8j)
 Opposite direction:
 a = 15i - 8j
 The unit vector is:
 a '= (1/17) * (15i - 8j)
 Answer:
 
a unit vector that has the same direction as the vector a is:
 
a '= (1/17) * (- 15i + 8j)
 
a unit vector that has the opposite direction of the vector a is:
 
a '= (1/17) * (15i - 8j)

A company that packages salted and unsalted mixed nuts received a complaint that claimed that the company’s salted packages cont
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the salted package be represented with 1 and the unsalted, 2.

So:

\mu_1: Mean of salted package

\mu_2: Mean of unsalted package

Considering the given options, the null hypothesis is that which contains =.

So, the null hypothesis is:

H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

The opposite of = is \ne. So, the alternate hypothesis, is that which contains \ne

So, the alternate hypothesis is:

H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0
