Question: A man standing in a field in New Hampshire sees Cannon Mountain in front of him. He knows that the height of Cannon Mo

untain is 4080 feet high and that he is 3 miles from the base. If he is looking at the top of the mountain through binoculars, what is his angle of elevation (in degrees) to the top?

First step is to convert the miles to feet
1 mile = 5280 feet

3 miles x 5280 feet = 15,840 feet.
 now both the height and distance is in feet
 
the angle of elevation is found by calculating the arctan of the height/ distance

arctan(4080 / 15840) = 14.44 degrees

round the answer if needed.

The owner of the Rancho Grande has 3,060 yd of fencing with which to enclose a rectangular piece of grazing land situated along
Pavel [41]

Answer:

1170450 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate the necessary perimeter, which would be like this:

2 * a + b = 3060

if we solve for b, we are left with:

b = 3060-2 * a

Now for the area it would be:

A = a * b = a * (3060-2 * a )

A = 3060 * a -2 * a ^ 2

To maximize the area, we calculate the derivative with respect to "a":

dA / da = d [3060 * a -2 * a ^ 2

]/gives

dA / day = 3060 - 4 * a

If we equal 0:

0 = 3060 - 4 * a

4 * a = 3060

a = 3060/4

a = 765 and d

Therefore b:

b = 3060 - 2 * a = 3060 - 1530 = 1530

A = a * b

A = 765 * 1530

A = 1170450 and d ^ 2

Let f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) =x - 3. Find f(x) - g(x). Question 3 options: 2x - 5 4x - 1 2x - 1 2x + 5
Alexxx [7]

Answer: f(x)-g(x)=2x+5

Step by step:

f(x) = 3x+2

g(x) = x-3

f(x)-g(x) = 3x +2 - (x-3) = 3x + 2-x+3=2x+5
