Answer: 40

=====================================

Explanation:

The angle we want is QPR (bottom left), which is one of the base angles. The other base angle is QRP (bottom right). These two angles are equal because PQR is an isosceles triangle (PQ = RQ)

So if we can find angle QRP, then we have found angle QPR

Note how angle QRP and the 140 degree angle combine to form a straight 180 degree angle. Therefore these two angles add to 180 degrees

(angle QRP) + (140) = 180
(angle QRP) + 140 - 140 = 180-140 ... subtract 140 from both sides
angle QRP = 40

Since,
angle QPR = angle QRP
this means
angle QPR = 40
and
b = 40

Using row 4:

coefficients are: 1, 4, 6, 4, 1 

a^4 + a^3b + a^2b^2 + ab^3 + b^4 

Now adding the coefficients: 

1a^4 + 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 + 4ab^3 + 1b^4 

Substitute a and b: 

a = 4x 

b = -3y 

1(4x)^4 + 4(4x)^3(-3y) + 6(4x)^2(-3y)^2 + 4(4x)(-3y)^3 + 1(-3y)^4 

Now simplify the above: 

256x^4 - 768x^3y + 864x^2y^2 - 432xy^3 + 81y^4

A gold mine has two elevators, one for equipment and another for the miners. The equipment elevator descends 4 feet per second.

Ad libitum [116K]

Let $d_m,\ d_e$ represent the depth of the miner and equipments elevator, respectively. We know that equipment elevator descends with a velocity of $v_e = 4$ feet per second, and the miners one descends with a velocity of $v_m = 15$ feet per second.

If we start counting time ( $t=0$ ) when the equipment elevator begins to descend, after $t$ seconds its depth will be

$d_e(t) = v_et = 4t$

On the other hand, the miner elevator follows the same rule, but we have to use its velocity, and remember that it starts with a delay of thirty seconds:

$d_m(t) = v_m(t-30) = 15(t - 30)$

Now, we have to wait the 30 seconds of delay, and then another 14 seconds. This means that we want to know the positions of both elevators when $t = 44$ . Let's plug this value into the two equations:
