Step-by-step explanation:

Let θ be the angle of depression i.e the angle between the horizontal and the observer's line of sight.

tanθ= (Height of the light house)/(Horizontal distance of ship from the base of light house)

∴tanθ=88/1532=0.0574

∴θ=tan−1(0.0574)=3.290(2dp)

Last Sunday a certain store sold copies of 256 Newspaper A for $1.00 each and copies of Newspaper B for $1.25 each, and the stor
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

D. \frac{400p}{500-p}

Step-by-step explanation:

let's call A the number of copies sold of newspaper A and B the number of copies sold of newspaper B.

So, we can formulate the following equations from the sentence: a certain store sold copies of 256 Newspaper A for $1.00 each and copies of Newspaper B for $1.25 each as:

A + B = 256                               (1)

1A + 1.25 B = Total Revenue    (2)

Then, r and p are equal to:

r=\frac{A}{Total Revenue}*100=\frac{100A}{A+1.25B}     (3)

p=\frac{A}{256} *100=\frac{100A}{256}                            (4)

Isolating A from (4) and B from (1), we get:

A=\frac{256p}{100} =2.56p                (5)

B=256-A=256-2.56p                         (6)

Finally, replacing (5) and (6) in (3), we get:

r=\frac{100A}{A+1.25B}=\frac{100(2.56p)}{2.56p+1.25(256-2.56p)}\\\\r=\frac{256p}{2.56p+320-3.2p}=\frac{256p}{320-0.64p}\\\\r=\frac{256p/0.64}{(320-0.64p)/0.64}=\frac{400p}{500-p}

Zeus Industries bought a computer for $2280. It is expected to depreciate at a rate of 30% per year. What will the value of the
Alekssandra [29.7K]
This is an exponential growth/decay problem.  It has a formula, and it doesn't matter which you have...the formula is the same for both, except for the fact that you're rate is decreasing instead of increasing so you will use a negative rate. The formula is this: A = Pe^rt, where A is the ending amount, P is the beginning amount, e is euler's number, r is the rate at which something is growing or dying, and t is the time in years. Our particular formula will look like this: A = 2280e^(-.30*3), Notice we have a negative number in for the rate (and of course it's expressed as a decimal!). First simplify the exponents: -.30*3 = -.9. On your calculator you have a 2nd button and a LN button.  When you hit 2nd-->LN you have "e^( " on your display.  Enter in -.9 and hit enter.  That should give you a display of .4065695.  Now multiply that by 2280 to get 926.98, the value of the computer after it depreciates for 3 years at a rate of 30% per year.
