Answer:
E would most likely stand for exponent
Step-by-step explanation:
I will think it will be ANSWER - TWO
If you sketch the man and the building on paper, you'll have a
right triangle. The right angle is the point where the wall of
the building meets the ground. The height of the building
is one leg of the triangle, the line on the ground from the
building to the man's feet is the other leg, and the line
from his feet to the top of the building is the hypotenuse.
We need to find the angle at his feet, between the hypotenuse
and the leg of the triangle.
Well, the side opposite the angle is the height of the building -- 350ft,
and the side adjacent to the angle is the distance from him to the
building -- 1,000 ft.
The tangent of the angle is (opposite) / (adjacent)
= (350 ft) / (1,000 ft) = 0.350 .
To find the angle, use a book, a slide rule, a Curta, or a calculator
to find the angle whose tangent is 0.350 .
tan⁻¹(0.350) = 19.29° . (rounded)
X = # of perfomances
y = total amount of money
Income: y = 7500x
Expense: y = 5900x + 88000
Substitution:
7500x = 5900x + 88000
1600x = 88000
x = 55
y = 7500(55) = $412,500
55 performances are needed to break-even.
