Answer:

573.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship of right triangle sides and angles:

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

This tells us ...

tan(61°) = (height)/(distance to first point)

distance to first point = height/tan(61°)

Likewise, ...

distance to second point = height/tan(32°)

Then the difference of the distances is ...

distance to second point - distance to first point

= height/tan(32°) -height/tan(61°)

600 ft = height × (1/tan(32°) -1/tan(61°))

Dividing by the coefficient of height, we have ...

height = (600 ft)/(1/tan(32°) -1/tan(61°)) ≈ (600 ft)/(1.04603) ≈ 573.6 ft

Consider the quadratic function f(x) = –2x2 5x – 4. the leading coefficient of the function is?

evablogger [386]

Answer:

$\text{-2 is the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation }f(x)=-2x^2+5x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function

$f(x)=-2x^2+5x-4$

we have to find the leading coefficient of given quadratic equation.

$\text{The general form of quadratic equation is }ax^2+bx+c=0$

The coefficient of $x^2$ i.e a is known as the leading coefficient.

Comparing given equation with the standard equation, we get

a=-2

$\text{Hence, -2 is the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation }f(x)=-2x^2+5x-4$

The points R(−4, −1) and S(2, −5) are two vertices of right triangle RST. The hypotenuse of the triangle is RS.

Nostrana [21]

If RS is the hypotenuse of the triangle RST and point T is in Quadrant 3, then point T must be the intersection of the lines: x = - 4 and y = - 5.
Therefore, the coordinates of point T are ( x, y ) = ( - 4, - 5 )
Answer:
T ( - 4, - 5 )

Answer:

The z-score when x=187 is 2.41. The mean is 187. This z-score tells you that x = 187 is 2.41 standard deviations above the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

$\mu = 152, \sigma = 14.5$
