A surveyor is measuring the distance across a small lake. He has set up his transit on one side of the lake 130 feet from a pili

ng that is directly across from a pier on the other side of the lake. From his transit, the angle between the piling and the pier is 60°. What is the distance between the piling and the pier to the nearest foot?

Answer:

x = 225.16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The angle between the piling and the pier is 60°.

A surveyor has set up his transit on one side of the lake 130 feet from a piling that is directly across from a pier on the other side of the lake.

We need to find the distance between the piling and the pier. Let the distance be d. Using the trigonometry to find it as follows :

\tan(60)=\dfrac{x}{130}\\\\x=\tan(60)\times 130\\\\x=225.16\ feet

So, the required distance is 225.16 feet.

The parent function f(x) = x3 is translated to form g(x), as shown on the graph. The translated function can be written in the f
Ahat [919]

Answer:

First option

h = 4 and k = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^3 translated to g(x) = (x – h)^3 + k.

f(x) transformed to g(x) with 4 units to the right and 2 units down

g(x) = (x - 4)^3 - 2

h = 4 and k = - 2

A piecewise function g(x) is defined by g(x)={x^3-4x for x&lt;2, -log_4(x-1)+2 for x&gt;=2
storchak [24]

The x-intercepts of the piecewise function are 1.59 and 17 and the intervals where g(x) is positive are (-2,0) and [2,17)

<h3>The graph of the function</h3>

The piecewise function is given as:

g(x) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}x^3-4x &x < 2\\-\log_4(x - 1) + 2 &x \ge 2\end{array}\right

See attachment for the graph of the piecewise function.

<h3>The x-intercepts of the piecewise function</h3>

This is the point where the piecewise function crosses the x-axis.

From the attached graph, the graph crosses the x-axis at x = -2, x = 0 and x = 17

Hence, the x-intercepts of the piecewise function are -2, 0 and 17

<h3>The intervals where g(x) is positive</h3>

This is the range of x value where g(x) > 0

From the attached graph, g(x)> 0 between x = -2 & x = 0 and between x = 2 (inclusive) & x = 17

Hence, the intervals where g(x) is positive are (-2,0) and [2,17)

A normal distribution has a mean 20 and standard deviation 5. What is the z score that corresponds to the value x=222
sashaice [31]

Answer: The z score that corresponds to the value x=22 is 0.4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A normal distribution has a mean 20 and standard deviation 5.

i.e. \mu=20

\sigma=5

Let x be the random selected variable.

We know that to find the z-score corresponds to the value x is given by :-

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x = 22, we have

z=\dfrac{22-20}{5}=\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ z=0.4

Hence, the z score that corresponds to the value x=22 is 0.4
