Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

           | \

           |   \

           |      \

           |         \

           |            \

100 ft.  |              \

           |         2     \

           |_________\

                    x

Use tangent to find the x.

tan(2) = \frac{100}{x}

x = \frac{100}{tan(2)}

Use a calculator to evaluate.

x = \frac{100}{tan(2)} = 2863.6253

So, the boat is 2,863.63 feet from the shore.

Answer:

-x¹⁴ / 5040

-½ < x < ½

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = e^(-x²)

The Taylor series for eˣ centered at 0 is:

eˣ = ∑ (1/n!) xⁿ

Substitute -x²:

e^(-x²) = ∑ (1/n!) (-x²)ⁿ

e^(-x²) = ∑ (1/n!) (-1)ⁿ x²ⁿ

The 14th degree term occurs at n=7.

(1/7!) (-1)⁷ x¹⁴

-x¹⁴ / 5040

ln(1 + x) = ∑ₙ₌₁°° (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ xⁿ / n

If we substitute 4x²:

ln(1 + 4x²) = ∑ₙ₌₁°° (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ (4x²)ⁿ / n

Using ratio test:

lim(n→∞)│aₙ₊₁ / aₙ│< 1

lim(n→∞)│[(-1)ⁿ⁺² (4x²)ⁿ⁺¹ / (n+1)] / [(-1)ⁿ⁺¹ (4x²)ⁿ / n]│< 1

lim(n→∞)│-1 (4x²) n / (n+1)│< 1

4x² < 1

x² < ¼

-½ < x < ½

5a please :) I don't know the formula
Naddika [18.5K]
S.A = (2×area of base) + area of lateral faces
Area of lateral faces = area of base × height

Area of lateral faces = 19×4×8=608
S.A = (2×19×4)+608

Answer to the question
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

AE = EC

so, 5x + 3 = 118

5x + 3 = 118

Bring +3 to the other side so -3

5x = 118 - 3

5x = 115

Bring 5 to the other side so:

x = 115 ÷ 5

x = 65

-18 = 5v+7 simplify your answer as much as possible what is the solve for v
Pie

Answer:

v = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 18 = 5v + 7 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

- 25 = 5v ( divide both sides by 5 )

- 5 = v

If l = 60 inches, w = 65 inches, h = 50 inches, and t = 40 inches, counting the floor, what is the volume of the tent?
defon

Answer:

To find volume of a tent this would be your formula:

start by taking the base of the triangle on your tent typically located in the front

1/2 (height) (width) to get your area (DONT SKIP THIS STEP)

Then take your area you just calculated and do

(area) (length)

Let me give you an example:

in the picture below

height: 3 cm

length: 8 cm

Width: 12 cm

Next do your first formula:

1/2 (3)(12)= 18 cm

(Calculation of one face)

then your second:

(18)(8)= 144 cm^3}

Hopefully this guide helped you sorry i couldn't answer your question without a picture!
