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

A chemist mixes a 10% hydrogen peroxide solution with a 25% hydrogen peroxide solution to create 30 liters of a 15% hydrogen per
FromTheMoon [43]
Your two equations are at the top, in the box is what each variable represents. Below the box is total liters of the 15%, which is going to equal the total liters for 10% plus the total liters for 25%. Make your percentages into decimals. There’s a total of 30 liters so, x+y needs to equal 30. Isolate a variable, I chose y, you can do either or (isolating x would be more math). Y is going to equal 30-x, substitute that for the Y in the second equation, then you need to distribute 0.25 into 30-x. Then it’s simple math, subtract 7.50 from both sides, add like gets, divide both sides by -0.15, making x=20.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

If is given the value -8 as it is the input then -->

y = -4(-8) + 3

Negative four times negative 8 is positive 32 so

y= 32 + 3

And 32 plus 3 is 35
