You can make a right triangle with the leg in between the building and the surveyor being 2,227 ft and the height of the building being the other leg (x).  To find x you can use the fact that tan(31)=x/2,227 which means x=tan(31)2,227.  Therefore x=1338.12 feet which means the building is 1338.12 feet tall.
I hope this helps.  let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

What to the tenth power can get you 300
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1.7689 (rounded to 4 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number we are seeking be "x", thus we can write the equation as:

x^{10}=300

Since we have raised "x" to the "10th power", to get "x" back again, we need to take 10th root. Same goes for right side, we take 10th root of 300. We will get our answer. The process shown below:

x^{10}=300\\\sqrt[10]{x^{10}} =\sqrt[10]{300} \\x=\sqrt[10]{300} \\x=1.7689

hence, 1.7689 raised to 10th power will give us 300

Graph the function.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

\displaystyle{y=-3x-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

I have two methods: <u>standard-learning</u> which will explain overall mathematically - basically formula, etc. - while the other one <u>trick-tips</u> method will rely on choices rather mathematical calculations but with explanation on <em>why</em> and <em>how.</em>

<h3>Standard-Learning</h3>

First, let’s pick two points that are integers since they are easily to be found via graphs. We see that (-1,2) and (0,-1) is a part of the graph so now we finally have picked two points for our calculations.

When we have finally picked two points, we will be using them for <u>slope calculation</u>. This part is <u>crucial</u> for finding an equation of a line because a line has to contain slope in its equation.

To calculate the slope, we use rise over run formula which is:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}

Note that \displaystyle{\Delta} is delta - in both mathematic and physics, it means <u>changes in</u>.

So, we will be using those two points that we have picked to substitute in the slope formula. Let’s determine that \displaystyle{(x_2,y_2)=(-1,2)} and \displaystyle{(x_1,y_1)=(0,-1)}.

Therefore, our slope will be:

\displaystyle{m=\dfrac{2-(-1)}{-1-0}}\\\\\displaystyle{m=\dfrac{2+1}{-1}}\\\\\displaystyle{m=-3}

Next, find the y-intercept. From the graph, we see that the graph intercepts at (0,-1) which is y-intercept so we will only use y-value. Hence, b = -1.

From the slope-intercept form:

\displaystyle{y=mx+b}

Substitute m (slope) = -3 and b (y-intercept) = -1. Hence, the equation of line is:

\displaystyle{y=-3x-1}

<h3>Fast Way (Trick-Tips)</h3>

Relying on choices and knowledge of graph, notice that there are slopes of 3 and -3.

Keep in mind that if slope is negative, it will decrease down and if slope is positive, it will increase up.

Therefore, cut off all choices with positive slopes which are 1 and 3. We are now left with 2 and 4.

Next, look at the graph and tell its y-intercept. It intercepts y at y = -1 so we take value of -1.

So choice 4 is cut off and now we have choice 2 as the answer.
