Answer:

Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person is 22 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A lifeguard sees a person in distress.The eye level of the lifeguard is 15 feet above the ground. Angle of depression is 34°.

To find: Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person.

Solution : If we draw a triangle then tan∅ = \frac{height}{base}

               Here base is the horizontal distance.

               Now we put the values in the formula.

               tan 34° = \frac{15}{base}

              Or Base = \frac{15}{tan34}

                             = \frac{15}{0.675} = 22.22 feet

So the answer is 22 feet.

What is the range of this piecewise function
White raven [17]

Answer as a compound inequality: -4 \le y < 2

Answer in interval notation:  [-4, 2)

=============================================

Explanation:

The range is the set of all possible y outputs of a function. When dealing with a graph like this, we just look at the highest and lowest points to determine which y values are possible.

The lowest point occurs when y = -4. We include this value. So far we have y \ge -4 which is the same as -4 \le y

The upper ceiling for the y value is y = 2. We can't actually reach this value because of the open hole at (-3,2). So we say that y < 2

Combine -4 \le y and y < 2 to get the compound inequality -4 \le y < 2

This says y is between -4 and 2, including -4 but excluding 2.

To convert this to interval notation, we write [-4, 2) where the square bracket says to include the endpoint and the curved parenthesis says to exclude the endpoint.

Find the value of each determinant
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

−4304

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The given determinant is :

\begin{vmatrix}7 &31 \\  142& 14\end{vmatrix}

We need to find its determinant . It can be solved as follows :

\begin{vmatrix}7 &31 \\  142& 14\end{vmatrix}=7(14)-142(31)\\\\=-4304

So, the value of determinant is equal to −4304.
