20 - 4x = 2(4 - 8x)
Make sure to do the parentheses first or factor out first
20 - 4x = 8 - 16x
add 16x to both sides
20 + 12x = 8
Subtract 20
12x = -12
Divide by 8
x = -1
Answer: The height of the mountain is 1,331.4 meters (approximately)
Step-by-step explanation: From the information given, the students were standing at point b which is 800 meters from the base of the mountain and the angle of elevation from that point is 59°. Assuming that the ground is level, we can derive a right angled triangle from this set of details and hence we have triangle ABC, where angle β is the reference angle, (59 degrees), BC is the distance from the students to the base of the mountain (800 meters) and the line AC is the height of the mountain.
The line AC is the opposite, since angle B is the reference angle, therefore we shall use the trigonometric ratio as follows;
Tan β = opposite/adjacent
Tan 59 = AC/800
Tan 59 x 800 = AC
1.6643 x 800 = AC
1331.44 = AC
AC ≈ 1331.4
Therefore the height of the mountain is approximately 1,331.4 meters
Answer:
vertex form
Step-by-step explanation:
y= -3(x-5)^2+7
This equation is written in vertex form
y = a(x-h)^2 +k
The vertex is (h,k)
Answer:
$95.89875
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of the necklace is 119.5. And we are subtracting 25% from this. 119.5 - 25% = 119.5 - 1/4 since 25% is 25/100 which is also 1/4.
So without tax, the price of the necklace is 119.5 - 29.875 which is 89.625.
The tax is 7%. So we should add 89.625 to 7%. This is complicated, but it should result in 95.89875.
If we round this to the nearest cent, it should be <em>$95.9</em>.
The boats would be 7.62 mi apart
