So I have another trigonometry question PLZ HELP ME I'm clueless at this rate I have like a little idea but I'm lost, SO PLZZZ!

I NEED IT BY JUNE 4
1. Lifeguard stands on a beach are approximately 300 ft apart. They are at 30-degree angles to a windsurfer on the water in between them. How far away is the windsurfer from each tower. Draw a diagram to help you picture the situation.


2. If the Earth is approximately 93 million miles from the sun, and Mercury is about 36 million miles from the sun, what are the possible distances between Earth and Mercury on a certain day if the angle between the sun and mercury is 22 degrees as measured from Earth?

Answer:

1) The windsurfer is approximately 580 ft from each lifeguard stand.

2) The distance between the Earth and Mercury is approximately 61 million miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image other two situations described is presented in the attached image to this answer.

1) From the attached image, the windsurfer forms a right angled triangle with each of the lifeguard stand and the midpoint between the two lifeguard stands.

Hence, the angle at the top of the triangle is half of 30°, 15° and the distance from the midpoint of the lifeguard stands to the lifeguard stands is 300/2 = 150 ft.

Let the required distance of the windsurfer from each of the lifeguard stands be x.

Using trigonometric relations,

Sin 15° = (150/x)

x = 150 ÷ sin 15° = 150 ÷ 0.2588

x = 579.6 ft = 580 ft to the nearest whole number

2) From the image, the Sun, Earth and Mercury form a triangle.

Let the possible distance between the Earth and Mercury be y.

Using cosine rule,

y² = 36² + 93² - (2×36×93×cos 22°)

y² = 3,736.5769098208

y = √3,736.5769098208 = 61.13 million miles = 61 million miles to the nearest million miles.

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the limit, if it exists (picture below)
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

c. \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{7} }

Step-by-step explanation:

When plugging in zero into the given equation:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}    \frac{\sqrt{x + 7} -  \sqrt{7}  }{x} =  \frac{0}{0}

Answer is in indeterminate form = use L'Hospital's Rule:

(Derivative of the top / Derivative of the bottom)

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}  \frac{ \frac{1}{2} (x + 7)^{ \frac{-1}{2}} - 0 }{1}

Rearranged equation:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}  \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x + 7} }

Plug zero back into equation:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}  \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x + 7} }  =  \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{0 + 7} } =  \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{7} }

Answer:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}    \frac{\sqrt{x + 7} -  \sqrt{7}  }{x} = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{7} }

Newborn males have weights with a mean of 3272.8 g and a standard deviation of 660.2 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean
Maksim231197 [3]

The correct option is:   a female who weighs 1500 g

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

<u>Formula for finding the z-score</u> is:  z= \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Newborn males have weights with a mean(\mu) of 3272.8 g and a standard deviation(\sigma) of 660.2 g.

So, the z-score for the newborn male who weighs 1500 g will be.......

z(X=1500)=\frac{1500-3272.8}{660.2}=-2.685... \approx -2.69

According to the normal distribution table,  P(z=-2.69)=0.0036 = 0.36\%

Now, newborn females have weights with a mean(\mu) of 3037.1 g and a standard deviation(\sigma) of 706.3 g.


So, the z-score for the newborn female who weighs 1500 g will be.......

z(X=1500)=\frac{1500-3037.1}{706.3}=-2.176... \approx -2.18

According to the normal distribution table,  P(z=-2.18)=0.0146 = 1.46\%

As we can see that the <u>probability that a newborn female has weight of 1500 g is greater than newborn male</u>,  so a newborn female has the weight of 1500 g that is more extreme relative to the group from which he came.
