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.

In relation t a functions? Is the inverse of relation t function
frozen [14]

Answer:

Relation t is a function. The inverse of relation t is not a function ⇒ 3rd

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- A relation is a set of inputs and outputs, and a function is a relation

 with one output for each input

- Ex: T = {(1 , 2) , (3 , 5) , (-4 , 0)} is a function because every input has

  only one output

- To find the inverse of a function we switched the input and the

  out put

- The inverse of a function may not always be a function

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The relation t is the set of ordered pairs of x and y

  x = 0     2      4    6

  y = -8    -7    -4    -4

∵ x = 0 has only y = -8

∵ x = 2 has only y = -7

∵ x = 4 has only y = -4

∵ x = 6 has only y = -4

∴ Every value of x has only one value of y

∴ Relation t is a function

* Lets find its inverse by switching x and y

∵ The inverse function of t is :

   x = -8     -7     -4    -4

   y =  0      2      4     6

∵ x = -8 has only y = 0

∵ x = -7 has only y = 2

∵ x = -4 has y = 4 and y = 6

∴ Not every value of x has only one value of y

∴ The inverse of relation t is not a function

* Relation t is a function. The inverse of relation t is not a function

Trees are planted at intervals of 5 m along side of a 140 m straight path. The first tree is planted at the start of the path an
Luden [163]
<h3>Solution :</h3>

Distance between first tree and last tree is 140m .

And distance between each tree (d) = 5 m

let's solve for number of trees (n) :

\hookrightarrow \: (n - 1)d = 140

\hookrightarrow \: (n - 1)5 = 140

\hookrightarrow \: n - 1 =  \dfrac{140}{5}

\hookrightarrow \: n = 28 + 1

\hookrightarrow \: n = 29

hence, total number of trees = 29.
