Answer:

2839.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Altitude = 1200 m

Using trigonometry :

The distance from point P to the airplane :

Using trigonometric relation :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Sin θ = altitude / x

Sin θ = 1200 m / x

Sin 25 = 1200 / x

0.4226182 = 1200 / x

x = 1200 / 0.4226182

x = 2839.4423

Distance from P to airplane = 2839.4 meters

iren2701 [21]
The answer is the first data set because remember, an outlier is a number in a data set that is extremely far away from all of the other numbers.

You can easily tell which one is the outlier, the first data set's outlier is 13, because it is was placed so far away from the other data points.

We know that the first data set is correct because all of the other data sets have numbers that are clustered together.

Is there a greatest positive integer? If so, what is it? If not, why not?
balu736 [363]
No, there is no 'greatest integer'. That is because positive numbers can go up tp infinite, and we do not know where numbers stop. 

However, there is a negative greatest integer because the ones that's closes to zero is -1.

ankoles [38]
Answer:

24 video games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of video games.
We have been given that a video game store allows customers to rent games for $4.75 each. So the cost of renting x video games would be 4.75x.

We are also told that customers can also buys a membership for $54 annually, and video games would only cost $2.50 each. The cost of renting x video games after membership would be 2.50x + 54

To find the number of video-games that will cost same for both options, we will equate both expressions as:

4.75x = 2.50x + 54
4.75x - 2.50x = 2.50x - 2.50x + 54


Therefore, a customer would have rent 24 video games in a year in order for the two options to be equal.
