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.

The people of Bridgetown wanted to build a bridge across a nearby river. Since they were poor swimmers, their master Trigonomos

VikaD [51]

Answer:

60.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the river. The distance from the point across from the tree to the second point is 15 m. The angle from this point to the tree across the river is 76°.

This makes the side opposite the angle x, the width of the river. It also means the 15 m side is adjacent to this angle.

The ratio opposite/adjacent is the ratio for tangent; this gives us the equation

x/15 = tan(76)

Multiply both sides by 15:

15(x/15) = 15(tan(76))

x = 15(tan(76)) ≈ 60.2

What is 2x(x+5)=4 using the quadratic formula

antoniya [11.8K]

X= $\frac{-5(+/=) \sqrt{33} }{2}$
Or it would be approximately: x≈ 0.37228132, -5.37228132
Hope this helped! ;P

What is the equation for

WARRIOR [948]

The equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is y = –4x – 16.

Solution:

The equation of a line given is y = 0.25x – 7

Slope of the given line( $m_1$ ) = 0.25

Let $m_2$ be the slope of the perpendicular line.

Passes through the point (–6, 8).

<em>If two lines are perpendicular then the product of the slopes equal to –1.</em>

$\Rightarrow m_1 \cdot m_2=-1$

$\Rightarrow 0.25\cdot m_2=-1$

$\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{-1}{0.25}$

$\Rightarrow m_2=-4$

Point-slope intercept formula:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$x_1=-6, y_1=8$ and $m=-4$

Substitute these in the formula, we get

$y-8=-4(x-(-6))$

$y-8=-4(x+6)$

$y-8=-4x-24$

Add 8 on both sides of the equation.

$y-8+8=-4x-24+8$

$y=-4x-16$

Hence the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is

y = –4x – 16

An inheritance of $40,000 is divided among three investments yielding $3,500 in interest per year. The interest rates for the th

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

x = $ 16,000 , y = $13,000 z= $11,000

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

Investment amount $40,000

three investments yielding = $3,500

three investments are 7%, 9%, and 11%

second and third are $3,000 and $5,000 less than the first

0.07 x + 0.09 y + 0.11 z = $ 3,500

x + (x - 3000 ) + (x - 5000) = $ 40,000

3x = $48,000

x = $ 16,000

y = 16000 - 3000 = $ 13,000

z = 16000 - 5000 = $ 11,000

the investment by each

x = $ 16,000 , y = $13,000 z= $11,000
