Answer:

The horizontal distance between the parking lot and the launch site is 470 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----->  the horizontal distance between the parking lot and the launch site

we know that

The tangent of angle of 12 degrees is equal to divide the altitude of 100 meters by the horizontal distance

so

tan(12°)=100/x

Solve for x

x=100/tan(12°)=470 meters

What we know: one part of candy costs $6 per kg 
another part of candy costs $4.50 per kg
To get a 15kg candy, lets add 6 and 4.5
6+4.5=10.5
Add 4.5 to 10.5
4.5+10.5=15

So, We need 2 kg of the $4.50 candy, and 1 kg of the $6.00 candy.

Which of these number(s) below are potential roots of the function p(x)=x^4+22x^2-16x-12
Alex Ar [27]

There's no list so we'll generate our own. Technically we're after zeros of p(x), which are the roots of p(x)=0.


The rational zeros are always fractions with a factor of the constant in the numerator and of the leading term in the denominator. Here we have a monic polynomial, leading coefficient 1, so the rational roots are all integers, factors of -12.


The potential rational zeros are: -12, -6, -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 12
