Jill is standing at the base of her apartment building. She measures the angle of elevation to the top of a nearby tower to be 4

0º. Then Jill goes to the roof of her apartment building, directly above her previous position, and measures the angle of elevation to the top of the same tower to be 30°.
If the height of the tower is 100 meters, the height of Jill's apartment building is (answer here) meters.

Let the distance of Jill form the base of the tower be x, then tan 40 = 100/x
x = 100/tan 40 = 100/0.8391 = 119.18 meters

Let the height of the tower from the level of the top of Jill's apartment be y, then tan 30 = y/119.18
y = 119.18 x tan 30 = 68.8 meters

Therefore, the height of Jill's apartment is 100 - 68.8 = 31.2 meters

Find all solutions in the region [0,2pi) for the equation cos^2(2x)-sin^2(2x)=0
Lynna [10]
\cos^{2}(2x)-\sin^{2}(2x)=0
\rightarrow \sin^{2}(2x)=\cos^{2}(2x)
\rightarrow \frac{\sin^{2}(2x)}{\cos^{2}(2x)}=1
\rightarrow \tan^{2}(2x)=1
\rightarrow \tan(2x)=\pm 1

2x can range anywhere in [0, 4\pi)
So:
\rightarrow 2x=\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{5\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4}, \frac{9\pi}{4}, \frac{11\pi}{4}, \frac{13\pi}{4}, \frac{15\pi}{4}
\rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{8}, \frac{3\pi}{8}, \frac{5\pi}{8}, \frac{7\pi}{8}, \frac{9\pi}{8}, \frac{11\pi}{8}, \frac{13\pi}{8}, \frac{15\pi}{8}

The circle below is centered at (10,4) and has a radius of 4. What it’s equation?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

(x-10)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation using a center and a radius, use the vertex form of the equation.

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2

Substitute the values h=10 and k=4 into the equation along with r = 4.

(x-10)^2 + (y-4)^2 + 4^2\\(x-10)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 16

PLS HELPPPP equation of the line that is parallel to the line y − 3x = 4 and passes through the point (0, −3)
Volgvan

Answer:

y = 3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

y - 3x = 4 ( add 3x to both sides )

y = 3x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 3x + c

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3

y = 3x - 3 ← equation in slope- intercept form
