Answer:

21.276 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

For the two angle of depressions one at the top of mast and other at the base will provide two distinct equation is terms of distance between the ship and lighthouse.

Let the distance between the ship and lighthouse be represented by X

y be the vertical distance above height of ship i.e 9 meters.

Equation 1

tan 45 = \frac{Y + 9}{X}

or

Y = X tan 45 - 9

Second equation

tan 30 = \frac{Y}{X} \\

Or

Y = X tan 30

Equating both the equation 1 and 2 we get -

X tan 30 = X tan 45 - 9\\X tan45 - X tan 30 = 9\\X * 1 - X * 0.577 = 9\\0.423 X = 9\\X = 21.276

Which is f(5) for the function â€""2x2 2x â€"" 3? â€""107 â€""63 â€""43 â€""37.
artcher [175]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Option B: 63

<h2>Given that:</h2>

The given function is    f(x)=2x^2+2x+3

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

To evaluate the value of a function at given value of input, you should replace the variable given in the function with the value of input that is given, in your case it is x = 5.

For x = 5, we have

f(5) = 50 + 10 + 3      = 63

Similarly, you will be able to evaluate the value of the function for any other input given, which is assumed to be valid.

Hence option b: 63 is the correct option.
