Answer:

Height of the lamppost = 5.602 ft + 2.912 ft = 8.514 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration form a triangle that can be demarcated into 2 right angle triangle. One triangle representing depression triangle and the other elevation triangle.

Depression triangle

The opposite side of the triangle formed is the length of the pole from the base to the horizontal line of sight. Therefore,

using tangential ratio

tan 35° = opposite/adjacent

tan 35° = a/8

cross multiply

a = 8 tan 35°

a = 8 × 0.70020753821

a = 5.60166030568

a = 5.602 ft

Elevation triangle

The opposite side of this right angle triangle represent the length from the horizontal line of sight to the top of the lamppost.

tan 20° = opposite/adjacent

tan 20° = b/8

cross multiply

b = 8 tan 20°

b = 8 × 0.36397023426

b = 2.91176187413

b = 2.912 ft

Height of the lamppost = 5.602 ft + 2.912 ft = 8.514 ft

Okay so you want to do the parentheses first okay? So 2.3333...+1.3333333 is?3.666 or 3 2/3. So you got that right? So then 5 1/3+ 3 2/3. You get an easy 9. Because 1/3+ 2/3 adds up to 3/3, and is normally written as 1. So add a one to 5+3=8+1.

a population of size 2000 at time t equals​0, where t is measured in years. 1. Suppose Jonesville​'s population grows by 170 peo
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1. a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

2.a_n =a_n_-_1+a_n_-_1(0.07)

Step-by-step explanation:

For case 2 the population grows by 170 per year. Therefore for year t=0 its 2000 and t=1 then the population is 2170 and t=2 population is 2340. We can express the sequence as:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

We know the difference is d=170 and n=1,2,3....:

Case two can be define by:

a_n

=a_n_-_1+a_n_-_1(0.07)
