The angle of depression made by the bird to the mouse is seen on the attached image. We can find the distance from the field mouse up to the bird's eye by getting the hypotenuse of the triangle formed. Using the CAH in Pythagorean Theorem, we will have:

cos ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos 65 = 30 / h
h = 70.98 ≈ 71 m  ⇒ the answer is D

How to find domain and range of a parabola?
german
The domain is the value of x, the range is the value of y.
A parabola opens infinitely to the right and left, so x can be any number, the domain is all real numbers
Vertically, however, a parabola opens only one way, either upward or downward. when it opens upward from a a certain level, say, the lower point (the vertex) has a y coordinate of 2, we say the range is all real numbers larger than or equal to 2, or y≥2. When it opens downward, we say the range is all real numbers smaller or equal to 2, y≤2

HELP!! PLEASE!!! THANK YOU!!
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

C. 8x - 3y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

7 - 3(x - y) = 5x + 2

Standard form: Ax + By = C

7 -3x + 3y = 5x + 2

7 -8x + 3y = 2

-8x + 3y = -5

Divide by -1 to each number

8x - 3y = 5

Find the point on the curve y = √ x where the tangent line is parallel to the line y = x 8 .
vichka [17]
If tangent to the curve y = √x  is parallel to the line  y = 8x,  then this implies that the tangent to  y = <span>√x  has the same slope as the line  y = 8x. In other words, the derivative (slope) function of  y = √x  is equal to the slope of the line  y = 8x, which is m = 8.  Hence y' = 8  once we find  y'

y =  </span><span>√x = x^(1/2)

Applying the power rule and simplifying, we find that the derivative is

y' = 1/(2</span>√x)

Now remember that  y'  must equal 8

1/(2<span>√x) = 8

Multiplying both sides by  2</span><span>√x,  we obtain

1 = 16</span><span>√x

Dividing both sides by  16,  yields

</span><span>√x = 1/16

But wait a minute, √x = y.  Thus  1/16  must be the y-coordinate of the point at which the tangent to  y = √x  is drawn.

Squaring both sides, yields

x = 1/256 

This is the x-coordinate of the point on the curve where the tangent is drawn.

</span><span>∴ the required point must be  (1/256, 1/16)

GOOD LUCK!!!</span>

A store offers a 15% discount on a skirt. If Bernice pays $40.80 for the skirt, what was the list price of the skirt before the
marusya05 [52]

The answer is B

If you multiply each price by .15 then subtract it  example below.

48.00 × .15 = 7.20

Then subtract that number to the price you will get how much the skirt cost after the discount.

48.00-7.20=40,80
