A ship of height 9 meters is sighted from a lighthouse. From the top of the lighthouse, the angle of depression to the top of th

e mast and the base of the ship equal 30 degrees and 45 degrees respectively. How far is the ship from the lighthouse?

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

One end of a line segment has the coordinates (-6,2). If
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The coordinates of the other end is (16,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

End 1: (-6,2)

Midpoint: (5,2)

Required

Find the coordinates of the other end

Let Midpoint be represented by (x,y);

(x,y) = (5,2) is calculated as thus

(x,y) = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})

So

x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} and y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}

Where (x_1,y_1) = (-6,2) and (x,y) = (5,2)

So, we're solving for (x_2,y_2)

Solving for x_2

x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}

Substitute 5 for x and -6 for x₁

5 = \frac{-6 + x_2}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * 5 = \frac{-6 + x_2}{2} * 2

10 = -6 + x_2

Add 6 to both sides

6 + 10 = -6 +6 +  x_2

x_2 = 16

Solving for y_2

y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}

Substitute 2 for y and 2 for y₁

2 = \frac{2 + y_2}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * 2 = \frac{2 + y_2}{2} * 2

4 = 2 + y_2

Subtract 2 from both sides

4 - 2 = 2 - 2 + y_2

y_2 = 2

(x_2,y_2) = (16,2)

Hence, the coordinates of the other end is (16,2)

I dont understand how to simplify an expression with exponents
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

3^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying an expression with expression with exponents:

If they are dividing, we keep the base and subtract the exponents. For example:

\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}

In this question:

\frac{3^2}{3^{-2}}=3^{2-(-2)}=3^{2+2}=3^4
