Answer:

154.10 Feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Height (h) of cliff = 320 feet

Angle of depression of near side = 16.5°

Angle of depression of far side = 10.5°

Using trigonometry :

We can obtain x and y as shown in the attached picture :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Adjacent = height of cliff = 320 Feets

For the near side :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan (16.5°) = x / 320

0.2962134 = x / 320

x = 0.2962134 * 320

x = 94.788318 Feets

For the far side :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan (10.5°) = x / 320

0.1853390 = x / 320

x = 0.1853390 * 320

x = 59.308494 Feets

Length of island = (59.308494 + 94.788318) feet

= 154.10 Feets

If the customer rolls the dice and rents a second movie every Thursday for 20 consecutive weeks, what is the total amount that t
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The expected amount for a duration of 20 weeks is $9.4

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Read attachment to understand the complete question

From the question, we have the following given parameters:

x = Amount paid for a second movie

E(x) = 0.47 --- Expected value of x

SD(x) = 0.15 --- Standard deviation of x

Required

Determine the total amount paid for a second movie for 20 weeks

The required implies that we calculate the expected value for a duration of 20 weeks.

i.e.

n = 20

If

E(x) = 0.47

Then:

E(nx) = n * E(x)

Substitute 20 for n

E(20x) = 20 * E(x)

Substitute 0.47 for E(x)

E(20x) = 20 * 0.47

E(20x) = 9.4

<em>Hence, the expected amount for a duration of 20 weeks is $9.4</em>

Bernoulli differential equation... y'+xy=xy^2
snow_lady [41]
y'+xy=xy^2\implies y^{-2}y'+xy^{-1}=x

Let z=y^{-1}, so that z'=-y^{-2}y'. Then the ODE becomes linear in z with

-z'+xz=x\implies z'-xz=-x

Find an integrating factor:

\mu(x)=\exp\left(\displaystyle\int-x\,\mathrm dx\right)=e^{-x^2/2}

Multiply both sides of the ODE by \mu:

e^{-x^2/2}z'-xe^{-x^2/2}z=-xe^{-x^2/2}

The left side can be consolidated as a derivative:

\left(e^{-x^2/2}z\right)'=-xe^{-x^2/2}

Integrate both sides with respect to x to get

e^{-x^2/2}z=e^{x^2/2}+C

where the right side can be computed with a simple substitution. Then

z=1+Ce^{x^2/2}

Back-substitute to solve for y.

y^{-1}=1+Ce^{x^2/2}\implies y=\dfrac1{1+Ce^{x^2/2}}
