Mathematics

Answer:

approx. 24.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

x=the distance of the fire from the base of the tower

200ft=the height of the tower

7 degrees=the angle of depression

Using these values you can draw a diagram that highlights that you need to use trig. to work out the answer.

Using Tan:

Tan 7=x/200 ft

multiply both sides by 200 ft

200*tan 7=24.55691218

approx. 24.6 ft

The point (2, –4) is reflected across the line y = –1. What are the coordinates of the image?
schepotkina [342]

ANSWER

The coordinates of the image are (2,2)

EXPLANATION

The mapping for a reflection across the line y=k is :

(x,y)\to (x,2k-y)

We want to find the image of the point (2,-4) after a reflection in the line y=-1.

In this case k=-1.

(2, - 4)\to (2,2( - 1)- - 4)

This simplifies to,

(2, - 4)\to (2, - 2 + 4)

(2, - 4)\to (2, 2)

Hence the image is (2,2)

Verify that (a+b)+c = a+ (b+c) by taking a = -8 , b = (-8/11) , c = (-8/12)
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-8+-\frac{8}{11} ) + (-\frac{8}{12}) = -\frac{96}{11} + (-\frac{2}{3}) = -\frac{288 + 22}{33}) = -\frac{310}{33}\\ (-8) + (-\frac{8}{11} + (-\frac{2}{3})) = (-8) + (-\frac{46}{33})= -\frac{310}{33}

A line passes through (4, 5) and (8, 9). Which equation best represents the line?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

that is the equation of the line, its slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 1 y = x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we can calculate the slope of this line passing through (4,5) and (8,9) like this:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (9 - 5)/(8 - 4)

m = 4/4

m = 1

so the slope is 1, and now we can use the equation of one point and the slope to write the line's equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 1*(x - 4)

y - 5 = x - 4

y = x + 1

that is the equation of the line, its slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 1
