Answer:

184.38\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle the tangent function of an angle \theta is equal to divide the opposite side to the angle \theta by the adjacent side to the angle \theta

In this problem we have

\theta=2\°

adjacent\ side=5,280\ ft

Let

h-----> the opposite side to the angle \theta (represent the height)

so

tan(2\°)=h/5,280

h=5,280*tan(2\°)=184.38\ ft

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

PLS HELP TIMED QUESTION!!!

Answer:

About 5043.58

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for an exponential decay after t time is:

\displaystyle f(t)=a(r)^{t/d}

Where a is the initial value, r is the rate decay, t is the time that has passed, and d is the amount of time it takes for 1 cycle.

The initial value is 9800. So a = 9800.

The quantity cuts in half. So, r = 1/2.

And it cuts in half every 6 days. For this question, we will convert this to hours. 6 days = 144 hours. So, we can let d = 144, where t will be in hours.

Therefore, our function is:

\displaystyle f(t)=9800\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{t/144}

Where t is the amount of time that has passed, in hours.

Then the quantity left after 138 hours will be:

\displaystyle f(138)=9800\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{138/144}\approx 5043.58

What was the approximate number of mobile cellular subscriptions per 100 people in zimbabwe in 2003?
Leona [35]
In this case, i think you just need to divide the amount of telephone subscription and divide it among 100 people

For example, let's say that there is around 2,000,000 subscription for 100,000 users.
The amount would be : 2,000,000 / 1,000
= 2,000 number of mobile per 100 people

hope this helps

Does anyone know a rule that work for all of these
Oxana [17]
Divide each term in the y column by 2 to go from this list {8, 2, 0, 2, 8} to this list {4, 1, 0, 1, 4}

This list {4, 1, 0, 1, 4} is a bunch of perfect squares so it suggests that y = x^2

However we must double the values to get back to the original list. So the rule is y = 2*x^2
