Answer:

To make a high estimate for the sum of two fractions, find the commnon denominator and add them.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a high estimate for the sum of two fractions in a word problem, rhe following steps are required.

Let the two fractions be represented as and

To perfrom the operation +

Step 1 : Check if the denominators of the fraction are same. If so then, then add the numerators directly by keeping the same denominator.

Step 2: If the denominators are different, then find the common denominator between the fractions and multiply them accordingly. Then perform the addition operation.

A boat is spotted in the water with an angle of depression of 25° from the top of a lighthouse that is 89 feet tall. To the near

stepan [7]

To calculate this you need to imagine triangle which points are:
boat
Top of lighthouse
Bottom of lighthouse

That triangle has 90 degrees angle at bottom of lighthouse. That means that we can use trigonometry to determine length between boat and bottom of lighthouse

tan(25) = 89/x
x = 89/tan(25)
x = 190.86

after rounding, the answer is D, 191 feet

Please help!! x = 2 - 3 cos t, y = 1 + 4 sin t in rectangular form?<br><br> thank you! :)

Answer:

$\frac{(x-2)^2}{9}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{16}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x=2-3\cos(t)$

$y=1+4\sin(t)$

Let's solve for $\cos(t)$ in the first equation and then solve for $\sin(t)$ in the second equation.

I will then use the following identity to get right of the parameter, $t$ :

$\cos^2(t)+\sin^2(t)=1$ (Pythagorean Identity).

Let's begin with $x=2-3\cos(t)$ .

Subtract 2 on both sides:

$x-2=-3\cos(t)$

Divide both sides by -3:

$\frac{x-2}{-3}=\cos(t)$

Now time for the second equation, $y=1+4\sin(t)$ .

Subtract 1 on both sides:

$y-1=4\sin(t)$

Divide both sides by 4:

$\frac{y-1}{4}=\sin(t)$

Now let's plug it into our Pythagorean Identity:

$\cos^2(t)+\sin^2(t)=1$

$\frac{x-2}{-3})^2+(\frac{y-1}{4})^2=1$

$\frac{(x-2)^2}{(-3)^2}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{4^2}=1$

$\frac{(x-2)^2}{9}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{16}=1$

A yard is 3 times as long as it is wide. 176 feet of fencing is needed to enclose the yard. Find the dimensions of the yard

svet-max [94.6K]

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its side lengths.

P=2(L+W), we are told that L=3W and P=176 so

2(3W+W)=176

2(4W)=176

8W=176

W=22 ft, since L=3W

L=66 ft

So the yard is 22 feet wide and 66 feet long.

Which represents the inverse of the function f(x) = 4x?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

F (x) = 4x ⇒ y = 4x
↓
x = 4y Divide by 4 on both sides
↓
x / 4 = y ⇒ Inverse function = x / 4
