Answer: 686.86 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.

Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side

Where α is the angle of elevation of Kelly's view, the opposite side (x) is the maximum height of the drone, and the adjacent side is the horizontal distance between Kelly and the drone when it hits the ground.

Replacing with the values given:

Tan 70 = x/ 250

Solving for x

tan70 (250)=x

686.86 ft = x

Simplify f+g / f-g when f(x)= x-4 / x+9 and g(x)= x-9 / x+4

steposvetlana [31]

$f(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9};\ g(x)=\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}\\\\f(x)+g(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9}+\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}=\dfrac{(x-4)(x+4)+(x-9)(x+9)}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-4^2+x^2-9^2}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{2x^2-16-81}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\f(x)-g(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9}-\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}=\dfrac{(x-4)(x+4)-(x-9)(x+9)}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-4^2-(x^2-9^2)}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{x^2-16-x^2+81}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{65}{(x+9)(x+4)}$

$\dfrac{f+g}{f-g}=(f+g):(f-g)=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}:\dfrac{65}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}\cdot\dfrac{(x+9)(x+4)}{65}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{\dfrac{f+g}{f-g}=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{65}}$

ruslelena [56]

we have the function

$P(x)=\ln\left|4x+1\right|+3x-x^2$

For x=2

substitute

$\begin{gathered} P(x)=\operatorname{\ln}\lvert4(2)+1\rvert+3(2)-(2)^2 \\ P(x)=\operatorname{\ln}\lvert9\rvert+2 \\ P(x)=4.20\text{ millions of dollars} \end{gathered}$

therefore

<h2>the answer is 4.20 million dollars</h2>

What is the solution to log 5 (x+30)= 3

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

x = 95

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms

• $log_{b}$ x = n ⇔ x = $b^{n}$

Given

$log_{5}$ (x + 30) = 3, then

x + 30 = 5³ = 125 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

x = 95

Explain how to subtract 247 from 538?

alexandr402 [8]

1. 538 - 247 = ?

2. 8 - 7 = 1

3. You can't subtract 3 and 4, so you have to take number from 5 (turning it into a 4) and then you add a 1 right next to 3 (which makes it 13;13 - 4 = 9

4. 4 - 2 = 2

538 - 247 = 291

So the answer is 291.
