9514 1404 393

Answer:

  445.10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between angle of depression and distance to the boat is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(angle of depression) = (200 ft)/(distance to boat)

Then the distance to the boat is ...

  distance to boat = (200 ft)/tan(angle of depression)

__

We want the change in distance between the two angles, so ...

  change in distance = (200 ft)/tan(17°31') -(200 ft)/tan(46°41')

  = (200 ft)(cot(17°31') -cot(46°41'))

  change in distance ≈ 445.10 ft

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

0.08 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

If the size of Tania's reaction is proportional to the amount of water used, then she can reduce the reaction size to 0.1 of its previous value by reducing the quantity of water to 0.1 of its previous value:

  0.1 × 0.8 oz = 0.08 oz

The size of Tania's reaction may depend on other factors, so changing the amound of water may have no effect whatever. If water serves as a damper on the reaction, Tania may need to increase the amount of water used.

We do not have enough information to determine an appropriate answer to this question.

hat is the value of the discriminant for the quadratic equation 0 = x + 2 + x2? Discriminant = b2 – 4ac –9 –7 7 9
Dovator [93]
For the general quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac.

So, for x^2 + x + 2 = 0, a = 1, b = 1, and c = 2, therefore

b^2 - 4ac = 1^2 - 4(1)(2) = 1 - 8 = - 7.

Answer: - 7
