The definition of the tangent function tells you
tan(angle) = (300 ft) / (distance to mountain)
This equation can be rearranged to
(distance to mountain) = (300 ft) / tan(angle)

For the far end of the river,
distance to far end = (300 ft) / tan(24°) ≈ 673.8 ft

For the near end of the river
distance to near end = (300 ft) / tan(40°) ≈ 357.5 ft

Then the width of the river can be calculated by finding the difference of these distances:
width of river = distance to far end - distance to near end
width of river = 673.8 ft - 357.5 ft
width of river = 316.3 ft

The appropriate answer choice is
316 ft.

Suppose there is a 13.9 % probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a jogger. In addition, there is

Blababa [14]

Answer:

There is a 2.17% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

It would be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is male and jogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities.

A 13.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a jogger, so $P(A) = 0.13$ .

In addition, there is a 15.6% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male comma given that he or she jogs. I am going to say that P(B) is the probability that is a male. $P(B/A)$ is the probability that the person is a male, given that he/she jogs. So $P(B/A) = 0.156$

The Bayes theorem states that:

$P(B/A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which $P(A \cap B)$ is the probability that the person does both thigs, so, in this problem, the probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

$P(A \cap B) = P(A).P(B/A) = 0.156*0.139 = 0.217$

There is a 2.17% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

A probability is unusual when it is smaller than 5%.

So it would be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is male and jogs.

Amber received an end of year bonus of $2500 at work, and went on a shopping spree. She spent $125 at the department store, $345

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: $2,009

Step-by-step explanation:

345 + 125 = 470

470 + 21 = 491

2,500 - 491 = 2,009

Write an equation that is perpendicular to and 3x+y=3 whose y-intercept 5. Anyone please help me, no link just explain how to do

Liula [17]

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{3}x + 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, two lines are perpendicular if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other: $m = - \frac{1}{m_{2} }$ , or equivalently, $m_{1} * m_{2} = -1$ .

Given our linear equation 3x + y = 3 (or y = -3x + 3):

We can find the equation of the line (with a y-intercept of 5) that is perpendicular to y = -3x + 3 by determining the negative reciprocal of its slope, -3, which is $\frac{1}{3}$ .

To test whether this is correct, we can take first slope, $m_{1} = -3$ , and multiply it with the negative reciprocal slope $m_{2} = \frac{1}{3}$ :

$m_{1} * m_{2} = -1$

$-3 * \frac{1}{3} = -1$

Therefore, we came up with the correct slope for the other line, which is $\frac{1}{3}$ .

Finally, the y-intercept is given by (0, 5). Therefore, the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x + y = 3 is:

$y = \frac{1}{3}x + 5$
