Answer:

Distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground = 7608 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Height of the cliff is 532 feet, angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground is equal to 4 degrees.

To find: distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground

Solution:

In ΔABC,

\angle ACB=4^{\circ}  (Alternate interior angles)

For any angle \theta, \tan \theta = side opposite to angle/side adjacent to angle

\tan C=\frac{AB}{BC}

Put AB=532\,,\,\angle C=4^{\circ}

\tan 4^{\circ}=\frac{532}{BC}\\\\BC=\frac{532}{\tan 4^{\circ}}\\\\=7607.95\\\\\approx 7608\,\,feet

Distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground = 7608 feet

8. Solve the system of equations using substitution.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we need to plug in the answer choices and make sure they work for BOTH answers!

Let us start with option A. (6,3)  3 = 4(6) + 6     = 3 = 30 This is automaticly wrong because 3 doesnt equal 30. There is no need to try it on the second equation since the first one was wrong.

Next answer choice, B  (3,6)  6 = 2(3) =   6=6. The second equation works perfect for this. Now we have to make sure that it works for the first one as well. 6 = 4(3) + 6   = 6 = 18 which is wrong.

Next, C.  (1,2)   2 = 2(1) = 2=2 Right now lets check the other equation.

2 = 4(1) + 6 = 2=10. Wrong

Last, D. (-3, -6)    -6 = 2(-3)  = -6 = -6 Right now lets check the other equation.

-6 = 4(-3) + 6 = -6 = -6. CORRECT. Answer choice D works for both equations.

Sorry for the wait of response.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first 6 rows of the eruptions data :

eruptions waiting

1 3.600 79

2 1.800 54

3 3.333 74

4 2.283 62

5 4.533 85

6 2.883 55

R code :

1. You can directly access the "Faithful" data in R without importing the data. The dataset faithful is present in the R or you can load the datasets. or use install the datasets.load. package

If you have the data in a text file, make sure all the columns and rows are separated by commas

Step 1: open notepad

Step 2: enter data with no spaces but only commas

Step 3: save the file as ‘faithful.txt’ on your Desktop

# Get R help

?read.table

# Import the data

rain<-read.table("C:/Users/YOUR-NAME/Desktop/faithful.txt", header = TRUE,

                  sep = ",")

Check the data

data("faithful") #Loading Faithful data

head(faithful, 6) #Reading first 6 rows of the data

At a college, 69% of the courses have final exams and 42% of courses require research papers. Suppose that 29% of courses have a
laila [671]

Answer:

a) 0.82

b) 0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

P(F)=0.69

P(R)=0.42

P(F and R)=0.29.

a)

P(course has a final exam or a research paper)=P(F or R)=?

P(F or R)=P(F)+P(R)- P(F and R)

P(F or R)=0.69+0.42-0.29

P(F or R)=1.11-0.29

P(F or R)=0.82.

Thus, the the probability that a course has a final exam or a research paper is 0.82.

b)

P( NEITHER of two requirements)=P(F' and R')=?

According to De Morgan's law

P(A' and B')=[P(A or B)]'

P(A' and B')=1-P(A or B)

P(A' and B')=1-0.82

P(A' and B')=0.18

Thus, the probability that a course has NEITHER of these two requirements is 0.18.
