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 are the zeros of the function defined by 2x + 11x- 6?
asambeis [7]
Note --> As you're writing 'zeroes' , I assume there is a typing mistake and you've given a Quadratic equation in the question

f(x) = 2 {x}^{2} + 11x - 6 \\ \\ f(x) = (2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0

Hence , the roots are 1/2 and -6
The graph attached confirms the same ,

Hope it helps you :)

Which ones are rational
Alenkasestr [34]
A rational number is a number that can be made by dividing two integers. An integer is a number that doesn't have a fraction part.

1. 2.4 - rational
2. 74 - rational
3. 17.3333333… - rational
4. π -irrational
5. there is no number
6. –18 - rational
7. there is no number
8. 87.125 - rational
9. –30 - rational
10. –8.3 -rational
11. 58.25 -rational
12. 121 -rational
13. 4.5 -rational
14. 3 7/10 -rational

As you can see, most numbers are rational. But, when you come across pi or when you have a decimal that goes on forever without repeating (like some square roots), it tends to be irrational.
