Answer:
He did NOT apply the distributive property correctly for 8(1 + 2i)
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance from the surfer to the shoreline will be found as follows:
tan θ= opposite/adjacent
θ=10°
opposite=7ft
adjacent= x ft
substituting the values in our formula and solving for x we get
tan 10=7/x
hence
x=7/tan10
x=39.69897~ 39.7 ft
The surfer is 39.7 ft from the shoreline.
To complete this equation, it is vital to know the slope. To find the slope using points, you subtract the first x from the second, and the first y from the second. This gives you a slope of 4. Then, you must follow point-slope form and choose one of the order pairs to use. You then write y then the negative of your number. Since the number is already negative, you turn it into a positive. On the other side of the "=" sign, you write your slope, 4 distributing to x. Then you write the negative of your x value. Since it is already negative, it turns into a positive. This gives you a final answer of y+1=4(x+2). I realize that this doesn't line up with your fill-in-the-blank answer, so I am sorry if it doesn't work.
D none of them fit the data set.
