The height of the lighthouse is 44 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given more information than you need.

Use the right triangle concept,

A yacht is anchored 90 feet offshore from the base of a lighthouse.

Base = 90 feet
Height = h feet

The angle of elevation from the boat to the top of the lighthouse is 26 degrees.

Using one side length and the angle only:

The trigonometric formula is given as,

tan = height / base

tan[26º] = h ⁄ 90

h = 90 × tan[26º]

h = 43.9 ft

h = 44 feet

Therefore, the height of the lighthouse is 44 feet.

Simplify completely: the quantity 8 times x to the third power plus 6 times x to the 2nd power minus 4 times x all over negative

True [87]

The answer is a.−4x^2 − 3x + 2

the quantity 8 times x to the third power plus 6 times x to the 2nd power minus 4 times x all over negative 2 times x is: $\frac{8 x^{3}+6 x^{2} -4x }{-2x}$

$\frac{8 x^{3}+6 x^{2} -4x }{-2x} = -\frac{8 x^{3}+6 x^{2} -4x }{2x}=- \frac{2x*4 x^{2} +2x*3x-2x*2}{2x} =- \frac{2x(4x^{2} +3x-2)}{2x} = \\ \\ =-(4x^{2} +3x-2)=-4x^{2} -3x+2$

A plumber charges of fee of $75 to make a house call. He also charges $50 per hour for labor.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

For part 1- y=50x+75 For part 2- y=325

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost is increasing 50 for every hour

there is a flat rate of 75 to answer a house call

y=50x+75

y=50(5)+75

y=250+75

y=325

Does the point (–3, 4) satisfy the equation y = –2x + 5? Yes Or No

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 5

4 = -2(-3) + 5 - Substitute both x and y

4 = 6 + 5 - Simplify

4 ≠ 11

Hence, no, (-3, 4) doesn't statify the equation y = -2x + 5

you are riding a bicycle which has tires with a 25-inch diameter at a steady 15-miles per hour, what is the angular velocity of

motikmotik

Answer:

The angular velocity is 6.72 π radians per second

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the angular velocity is ω = $\frac{v}{r}$ , where v is the linear velocity and r is the radius of the circle

The unit of the angular velocity is radians per second

∵ The diameter of the tire is 25 inches

∵ The linear velocity is 15 miles per hour

- We must change the mile to inch and the hour to seconds

∵ 1 mile = 63360 inches

∵ 1 hour = 3600 second

∴ 15 miles/hour = 15 × $\frac{63360}{3600}$

∴ 15 miles/hour = 264 inches per second

Now let us find the angular velocity

∵ ω = $\frac{v}{r}$

∵ v = 264 in./sec.

∵ d = 25 in.

- The radius is one-half the diameter

∴ r = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 25 = 12.5 in.

- Substitute the values of v and r in the formula above to find ω

∴ ω = $\frac{264}{12.5}$

∴ ω = 21.12 rad./sec.

- Divide it by π to give the answer in terms of π

∴ ω = 6.72 π radians per second

The angular velocity is 6.72 π radians per second
