URGENT PLEASE ANSWER To find the distance across a river, a surveyor chooses points A and B on one side of the river. She then c

hooses a reference point C on the opposite side of the river and finds the following measurements:
AB=100 m∡A=47∘∡B=82∘
Find the distance from point A to point C. Enter just the numerical value of the answer - do not include "AC=" or any units - and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

The distance between A and C = 127.4

Step-by-step explanation:

* We have 3 different points A , B , C lets consider them as

 a vertices of a triangle ABC

- AB = 100

- m∠A = 47°

- m∠B = 82°

* To find the distance AC we can use the sin Rule

- In any triangle the ratio between the length of each side

 to the measure of each opposite angle are equal

- In Δ ABC ⇒ AB/sinC = BC/sinA = AC/sinB

* Lets do it to find the distance between A and C

∵ m∠A = 47° and m∠B = 82°

∵ The sum of the interior angles in any triangle is 180°

∴ m∠C = 180 - (47 + 82) = 180 - 129 = 51°

∵ AC/sin(82) = 100/sin(51)

∴ AC = 100 × sin(82) ÷ sin(51) = 127.423691

* AC = 127.4

Use separation of variables to solve dy dx − tan x = y2 tan x with y(0) = √3. Find the value of c in radians, not degrees
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

y(x)=tan(-log(cos(x))+\frac{\pi }{3} )

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation as:

\frac{dy(x)}{dx}-tan(x)=y(x)^{2} *tan(x)

Isolating \frac{dy}{dx}

\frac{dy}{dx} =tan(x)+tan(x)*y^{2}

Factor:

\frac{dy}{dx} =tan(x)*(1+y^{2} )

Dividing both sides by (1+y^{2} ) and multiplying them by dx

\frac{dy}{1+y^{2} } =tan(x)dx

Integrate both sides:

\int\ \frac{dy}{1+y^{2} } = \int\ tan(x)  dx

Evaluate the integrals:

arctan(y)=-log(cos(x))+C_1

Solving for y:

y(x)=tan(-log(cos(x))+C_1)

Evaluating the initial condition:

y(0)=\sqrt{3} =tan(-log(cos(0))+C_1)=tan(-log(1)+C_1)=tan(0+C_1)

\sqrt{3} =tan(C_1)\\arctan(\sqrt{3} )=C_1\\60=C_1

Converting 60 degrees to radians:

60degrees*\frac{\pi }{180degrees} =\frac{\pi }{3}

Replacing C_1 in the diferential equation solution:

y(x)=tan(-log(cos(x))+\frac{\pi }{3} )

Find the potential solution to the equation log4(2 – x) = log4(–5x – 18).
NNADVOKAT [17]
Log₄(2 – x) = log₄(–5x – 18).

Since the logs have the same basis (4) & are equal then:

(2 – x) = (–5x – 18).  . Now solve for x & you will find x = -5

Triangle ABC has side lengths:
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The length of HJ is 3.5 cm

<h3>What is Congruency?</h3>

Two geometric figures are said to be congruent, or to be in the relation of congruence, if it is possible to superpose one of them on the other so that they coincide throughout.

Given:

AB = 3.5 cm, BC = 2.4 cm, and AC = 4.2 cm

As, ΔABC ≅ ΔHJK

So,

AB = HJ

BC = JK

AC = HK

Thus, HJ= AB = 3.5 cm

A coin, having probability p of landing heads, is continually flipped until at least one head and one tail have been flipped. (a
Natali [406]

Answer:

(a)

The probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

                                   p^4 (1-p)  + (1-p)^4 p

(b)

The expected numbers of flips needed would be

\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} n p(1-p)^{n-1}  = 1/p

Therefore, suppose that  p = 0.5, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5  = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Case 1

Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only heads, then you would stop when you get the first tail. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

p^4 (1-p)

Case 2

Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only tails, then you would stop when you get the first head. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

(1-p)^4p

Therefore the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

                                    p^4 (1-p)  + (1-p)^4 p

(b)

The expected numbers of flips needed would be

\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} n p(1-p)^{n-1}  = 1/p

Therefore, suppose that  p = 0.5, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5  = 2.

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that goes through the points
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: The equation in slope-intercept form is y=2x-11

Step-by-step explanation: Slope-intercept is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, you find the difference between the y values divided by the difference between the x values. -5-(-9) = 4, and 3-1 is 2. 4/2 is 2, so m = 2. Since the slope is 2, it states for every x you move on the right you move 2 up. But we are trying to get the y-intercept, so x = 0. We are subtracting 1 in our x value, so we move 2 downwards. We subtract 2 from -9 which gives us -11, which is our y-intercept.

Hope this helps!
