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

Answer:

20 + 2x = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

So you are setting the two expressions equal to each other.

buying a membership card  and paying each time looks like this: 20 + 2x where x is the number of times you go to the gym.  20 dollars base then 2 each time you go.

4 each time you go is just 4x

so just set the two equal to each other.

20 + 2x = 4x

If you solve it you will get x = something, which would be the number of times to make the two equal.

I believe it would be any number that is within the darkest shaded area. (-4,1) seems like it would be correct.
