Answer:

<em>f(-5)=149603</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Synthetic Substitution</u>

It's a method to find the value of a polynomial for a given value of x. The polynomial we want to evaluate is

f(x) = -x^7 + 4x^6 - 4x^5 - 6x^4 - 3x^3 - 6x^2 - x - 2

at x=-5

We can, of course, just replace x for -5 and compute the powers, products and sums and subtractions, but we can use the synthetic substitution to avoid the powers, just by multiplying and adding or subtracting. The method requires us to use only the coefficients of the ordered and complete polynomial as shown:

-1  4  -4  -6  -3  -6  -1  -2

Now we set up an arrangement where we can place some operations

     -1  4  -4  -6  -3  -6  -1  -2

-5

The second row and a new third row will be filled by computing values as explained below.

The first value of the third row is the very same first coefficient (-1)

     -1   4   -4   -6   -3   -6   -1   -2

-5

     -1

The second value of the second row is the -5 times the first value of the third row: (-5)(-1)=5

Next value of the third row is the sum of the values above of it: 4+5=9

-1 4 -4 -6 -3 -6 -1 -2

-5  5

-1 9

Now we proceed the same with next values to get the full arrangement or synthetic substitution

-1 4 -4 -6 -3    -6  -1  -2

-5  5 -45 245 -1195 5990 -29920 149605

-1 9 -49 239 -1198 5984 -29921 149603

The very last value of the third row is the required substitution

f(-5)=149603

surveyor stands 100 m from the base of a tower on which an antenna stands. He measures the angles of elevation to the top and bo
balu736 [363]

Answer: 36.3m

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can draw two triangle rectangles, where the distance between the man and the base of the tower is one of the cathetus, the adjacent one, the height will be the opposite cathetus.

The triangle where the elevation angle is 58° is associated with the height of the tower without the aerial

The other triangle, where the elevation angle is 63° is associated with the height of the tower with the aerial.

Then we can calculate those two heights, then compute the difference, and the difference will be equal to the height of the aerial.

In both cases we want to calculate the opposite cathetus, then we should use the relation:

Tan(θ) = (Op. cath)/(Adj. cath)

The height without the aerial is h1, let's find it:

Tan(58°) = h1/100m

Tan(58°)*100m = h1 = 160m.

The height with the aerial is h2, let's find it:

Tan(63°) = h2/100m

Tan(63°)*100m = h2 = 196.3m

Then the height of the aerial will be:

h2 - h1 =  196.3m -  160m = 36.3m
