You're standing on the ground 7777 meters away from the bottom of a tall tower. The tower itself is 346346 meters tall. What is

Answer:

88.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, visualize. Assuming that the tower is at a perfectly 90° angle to the ground, you have a right triangle. We will call this triangle ΔABC where A is where you are, B is the top of the tower, and C is the base of the tower. Now we know the following:

∠A = ?

∠B = ?

∠C =  90

a = 346346

b = 7777

c = ?

Note: Triangles are labeled with three pairs of letters: a, b and c and A, B and C. The lower case letters, a, b and c represent the sides, and the upper case letters are the angles that are directly opposite of those sides. (see attached reference)

c is easy, c is the hypotenuse, so you can use the following equation to find the hypotenuse:

a² + b² = c²

Rearranged:

c = ± \sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }

Substitute a and b:

c = ±\sqrt{346346^{2} +7777^{2} }

Comes out to ~346433.3 meters.

Now if we use the Law of Sines:

\frac{a}{sinA} = \frac{b}{sinB} = \frac{c}{sinC}

We can use c and a, since we're trying to find what angle A is, so the ratio is set up as:

\frac{346346}{sinA} = \frac{346433.3}{sinC}

Well we know that C = 90, and so sin(90) in degrees (as opposed to radians) is 1. So then the set of equations is now:

\frac{346346}{sinA} = \frac{346433.3}{1}

Cross Multiply to get rid of the fractions:

346346 = 346433.3 * sin(A)

Divide:

\frac{346346}{346433.3} = sin(A)

Using a calculator, if you take the arcsin of that fraction, you will get what angle A is supposed to be:

arcsin( \frac{346346}{346433.3} ) = ∠A = 88.7°

Solve the system of equations by substitution.
n200080 [17]

Answer:

x = -8

y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x - 22

y = x + 2

x + 2 = -2x - 22

x + 2x = -22 - 2

3x = -24

x = -24 : 3

x= -8

y = -8 + 2

y = -6

Expanding Logarithmic Expressions In Exercise, use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression as a sum, difference,
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:  \dfrac{1}{3}[\ln (x+1)+\ln(x-1)]

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of logarithm :

  1. \log (ab)= \log a+\log b
  2. \log(\dfrac{a}{b})=\log a-\log b
  3. \log a^n= n\log a

The given expression in terms of Natural log : \ln (x^2 - 1)^{\frac{1}{3}}

This will become \dfrac{1}{3}\ln (x^2 - 1)      [ By using Property (3)]

=\dfrac{1}{3}\ln (x^2-1^2)

=\dfrac{1}{3}\ln ((x+1)(x-1))   [\because a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)]

=\dfrac{1}{3}[\ln (x+1)+\ln(x-1)]   [ By using Property (1)]

Hence, the simplified expression becomes \dfrac{1}{3}[\ln (x+1)+\ln(x-1)] .

The expression 148 – 24d gives the number of pizzas a store has in stock, where d is the number of days. How many pizzas will th
Feliz [49]

Explanation

A function is defined as a relation between a set of inputs having one output each,in this case our independent variable is the number of days( d) and the dependent variable would be the number of pizzas

so

Step 1

let the function

\begin{gathered} P=148-24d \\ where\text{ P is the number of pizzas } \\ and\text{ d is the number of days} \end{gathered}

therefore, to know the number of pizzas are in the stock after 5 days we need to evaluate the equation for d=3

so

\begin{gathered} P=148-24d \\ let\text{ d=5 and evaluate} \\ P=148-24(5) \\ P=148-120=28 \\ P=28 \end{gathered}

so, after five day there willbe 28 pizzas in stock

I hope this helpsyou
