A Scout on top of a 1500-ft. mountain spots a campsite.

Answer: The distance from the campsite to the foot of the mountain is 2310 ft (approx)

Step-by-step explanation: We have been given that the scout on the mountain top has spotted a campsite and he did so while looking down from a 33° angle of depression. If we label his position as point A, the foot of the mountain as point B and the campsite as point C, then it means the scout has formed an angle of 57° between point A and point B. Now we have a right angled triangle ABC with angle A measuring 57°

Using the trigonometrical ratio of tangent

Tan A = opposite/adjacent

Tan 57 = BC/1500

1.5399 = BC/1500

When you cross multiply both sides you have

1.5399 × 1500 = BC

2309.85 = BC

Approximated to the nearest foot,

BC = 2,310 ft

DB/dt = k*B
dB/(kB) = dt
Integrating both sides:
1/k*ln|B| = t + C
B = C*e^(kt)
At time t = 0, B = 4000 and at time t = 3 (3 hours past 9 AM), B = 4500
4000 = C
4500 = 4000*e^(3k) => k = 1/3*ln(9/8)
At time t = 15 (Midnight), B = 4000*e^(1/3*ln(9/8)*15) = 4000*(9/8)^5 = 7208 bacteria

Can anyone help me with this question please thank you!

Answer:

B. The individual events are dependent. The probability of the combined event is 3.772%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The individual events are dependent because you would have to draw 2 red candies in a row. After the first drawing, there would be one less red candy in the bag, which would affect the second drawing.

First drawing probability: 11/54, or 20.370%

Second drawing probability: 10/54, or 18.519%

Combined probability: 20.370*18.519 = 3.772%

What is the measure of angle GXD?​
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

75 = GXD

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that CXE is a straight line

A straight line is 180 degrees

CXE = CXG + GXD +DXE

Substituting what we know

180 = 85+ GXD + 20

Combine like terms

180 = 105+GXD

Subtract 105 from each side

180-105 = 105-105 +GXD

75 = GXD
