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

Why is the answer for letter b 9?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Take a look at the 'proof' below

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the function g(x) is similar to that of the function f(t). The local minimum, local maximum, absolute minimum, maximum etc... of 'x' is always the closest x-intercept of the graph of f(t).

Let's check if this statement is right. The two local minimum(s) of the function f(t) occurs at x = 2, and x = 6. The two local maximum(s) occur at 1/4 and 4. As you can see the maximum / minimum of the function g(x) is always an x-intercept, x = 3, x = 7.

For part (b) the absolute maximum value of the function f(t), is 8. The closest x-intercept is 9, which is our solution.
