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

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

A=2, B=3, C=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Two polynomials are equal for all values of the variable if the corresponding coefficients are the same. The way to solve the problem is to multiply the RHS, rewrite it in a more orderly way

(Ax-1)(x-B)(x+1)+C = \\Ax^3+(A-AB-1)x^2+(B-AB-1)x +B+C

Now, for the two polynomials to be the same we need to have, at the same time

x^3: A=2\\x^2: A-AB-1= -5\\x:B-AB-1=-4\\1: B+C=8

You might notice that we have more conditions than variables, but you can consider one of the two in the middle as a "check" option.

Now, grabbing the value from the first condition into the second we get B=3. Replacing both value in the third we see that the equality still holds, and replacing into the fourth we get C =5.

In a sample of 700 gas​ stations, the mean price for regular gasoline at the pump was $2.894 per gallon and the standard deviati
frez [133]

Answer:

P(x < 2.892) = 4.36\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

N = 700 --- Population

\mu = 2.894 -- Mean

\sigma = 0.009 --- Standard deviation

n = 55 -- Sample

Required: P(x < 2.892)

This question will be solved using the finite correction factor

First, calculated the z score

z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sqrt{\frac{N -n}{N -1}} * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}}

z = \frac{2.892 - 2.894}{\sqrt{\frac{700 -55}{700 -1}} * \frac{0.009}{\sqrt {55}}}

z = \frac{-0.002}{\sqrt{\frac{645}{699}} * \frac{0.009}{7.42}}

z = \frac{-0.002}{\sqrt{0.92} * \frac{0.009}{7.42}}

z = \frac{-0.002}{0.95917 * 0.0012129}

z = -1.71

So:

P(x < 2.892) = P(z < -1.71)

Using z table

P(x < 2.892) = 0.043633

P(x < 2.892) = 4.36\%
