Answer:

82/333

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x = 0.246 (repeating). Multiply both sides by 1000:

1000x = 246.246 (repeating)

Now we can subtract these two:

1000x = 246.246 (repeating)

- x = 0.246 (repeating)

_________________________

999x = 246 (the repeating decimal part cancels out)

Divide both sides by 999:

x = 246/999 = 82/333

Hope this helps!

Solve the following equations <br> 5^2x-2(5^x)-15=0

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

${5}^{2x} - 2( {5}^{x} ) - 15 = 0$

$( {5}^{x} {)}^{2} - 2 \times {5}^{x} - 15 = 0$

${t}^{2} - 2t - 15 = 0$

${5}^{x} t = - 3 \: \: .5$

${5}^{x} = 5$

$x = 1$

The table represents a linear function. Find the values of A and B.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The answers are that a = -5 and b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find A and B, we first need to find the equation of the line. We can do this by using two ordered pairs and the slope formula. For the purpose of this activity, I'l use (0, 5) and (-3, 11)

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (11 - 5)/(-3 - 0)

m = 6/-3

m = -2

Now that we have this we can model this using point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -2(x - 0)

y - 5 = -2x

y = -2x + 5

Now that we have the modeled equation we can use the ordered pair (a, 15) to solve for a.

y = -2x + 5

15 = -2(a) + 5

10 = -2a

-5 = a

And we can also solve for b using the ordered pair (2, b)

y = -2x + 5

b = -2(2) + 5

b = -4 + 5

b = 1

An observer on top of a 50-foot tall lighthouse sees a boat at a 7° angle of depression. To the nearest foot, how far is the boa

Yuri [45]

Answer:

407.22 foot is the boat from the base of the lighthouse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement: An observer on top of a 50-foot tall lighthouse sees a boat at a 7° angle of depression.

Let x foot be the distance of the object(boat) from the base of the lighthouse

Angle of depression = $7^{\circ}$

$\angle CAB = \angle DCA = 7^{\circ}$ [Alternate angle]

In triangle CAB:

To find AB = x foot.

Using tangent ratio:

$\tan (\theta) = \frac{Opposite side}{Adjacent Base}$

$\tan (\angle CAB) = \frac{BC}{AB}$

Here, BC = 50 foot and $\angle CAB =7^{\circ}$

then;

$\tan (7^{\circ}) = \frac{50}{x}$

$x = \frac{50}{\tan 7^{\circ}}$

$x = \frac{50}{0.1227845609}$

Simplify:

AB = x = 407.217321 foot

Therefore, the boat from the base of the light house is, 407.22'
