Answer:

Correct answer:  Db = 411 .18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

α = 27°  angle of depression

Dt = 462 ft  distance from the top of lighthouse to the boat

Db = ?   distance from the base of the lighthouse to the boat

Here we have a right triangle with hypotenuse Dt and one leg Db.

By definition

cos α = Db / Dt  ⇒ Db = Dt · cos α

Db = 462 · cos 27° = 462 · 0.89 = 411 .18 ft

Db = 411 .18 ft

God is with you!!!

Y=x^2-2x-1 and y=-3x+5 solved algebraically
eduard

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x²-2x-1

and y=-3x+5

x²-2x-1=-3x+5

x²+x-6=0

x²+3x-2x-6=0

x(x+3)-2(x+3)=0

(x+3)(x-2)=0

x=-3,2

when x=-3

y=-3×-3+5=9+5=14

when x=2

y=-3×2+5=-6+5=-1

so solutions are (-3,14) and (2,-1)
