Answer:
approx. 24.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
x=the distance of the fire from the base of the tower
200ft=the height of the tower
7 degrees=the angle of depression
Using these values you can draw a diagram that highlights that you need to use trig. to work out the answer.
Using Tan:
Tan 7=x/200 ft
multiply both sides by 200 ft
200*tan 7=24.55691218
approx. 24.6 ft
With every imaginary term, there are 2 complex conjugates with opposing signs. So if I had the term a+bi, the complex conjugate would be a-bi. So given your example of -1+4i, the complex conjugate would just be the opposite sign, now negative, to get -1-4i.

Here we know that Margie is standing on a bridge looking at the river. She throws a rock over the bridge with an initial velocity of 60 ft/sec. The height, h, of the rock at the rime t seconds after it was thrown can be modeled by the equation:

To calculate how long will it take for the rock to reach the surface of the water, we need to set
. So:

Given that time can't be negative, we just choose the positive value. Therefore, <em>it will take 4.70 seconds for the rock to reach the surface water.</em>
