To find the height of a pole, a surveyor moves 180 feet away from the base of the pole and then, with his eyes (4 feet above the

ground), measures the angle of elevation to the top of the pole to be 44 degrees. Draw a picture and label a diagram to represent this situation. What is the height of the pole? Show your work.

Answer:

177.82397947 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

to find height of of the pole:

tan(44 degrees)=x/180

add the height of the person

x=(180tan(44 degrees) )+4

x=177.82397947 ft

now, round to what point you need to

Which of these describes the equation –18x + 9y = –416?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

We conclude the equation is linear because it can be rewritten in the form y = mx + b.

Hence, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line or linear equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

<u>Important Tip:</u>

The graph of a linear equation is always a straight line.

Convert the given equation in the slope-intercept form

18x + 9y = -416

subtract 18x from both sides

18x+9y-18x = - 18x-416

simplify

9y = -18x - 416

divide both sides by 9

y=-2x-\frac{416}{9}

Now, comparing the equation y=-2x-\frac{416}{9} with a slop-intercept form of linear equation

  • The slope m = -2
  • The y-intercept b = -416/9

Therefore, we conclude the equation is linear because it can be rewritten in the form y = mx + b.

From the attached graph, is also clear that the graph of the equation y=-2x-\frac{416}{9} is a straight line.

Hence, option D is correct.

The population of Henderson City was 3,381,000 in 1994, and is growing at an annual rate 1.8%
liq [111]
<h2>In the year 2000, population will be 3,762,979 approximately. Population will double by the year 2033.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

   Given that the population grows every year at the same rate( 1.8% ), we can model the population similar to a compound Interest problem.

   From 1994, every subsequent year the new population is obtained by multiplying the previous years' population by \frac{100+1.8}{100} = \frac{101.8}{100}.

   So, the population in the year t can be given by P(t)=3,381,000\textrm{x}(\frac{101.8}{100})^{(t-1994)}

   Population in the year 2000 = 3,381,000\textrm{x}(\frac{101.8}{100})^{6}=3,762,979.38

Population in year 2000 = 3,762,979

   Let us assume population doubles by year y.

2\textrm{x}(3,381,000)=(3,381,000)\textrm{x}(\frac{101.8}{100})^{(y-1994)}

log_{10}2=(y-1994)log_{10}(\frac{101.8}{100})

y-1994=\frac{log_{10}2}{log_{10}1.018}=38.8537

y≈2033

∴ By 2033, the population doubles.

Find the scale factor of ABC to MNO.
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor can be obtained by simply finding the ratio of the lenght of the side of one shape to the length of the same side of the other shape.

Thus, we can obtain the scale factor that will take us from △ABC to △MNO as illustrated below:

Original Length BC = 15 in

New Length NO = 18 in

Scale factor =?

Scale factor = New lenght NO / Original length BC

Scale factor = 18 / 15

Scale factor = 6/5

Therefore, the scale factor that will take us from △ABC to △MNO is 6/5.
