Answer:

The angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

height of the tree, h = 96 ft

length of the shadow, L = 120 ft

                                                   |

                                                   | 96ft

                                                   |

                                                   |

       θ------------------------------------

                    120ft

Completing this triangle to cut across the top of the tree gives you a right angled triangle with θ as the angle of elevation of the sun.

Apply trig-ratio to determine the angle of elevation of the sun;

tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side

tanθ = 96 / 120

tanθ = 0.8

θ = tan⁻¹(0.8)

θ = 38.7⁰

θ = 39⁰

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

Sociologists say that 85% of married women claim that their husband's mother is the biggest bone of contention in their marriage
hoa [83]

Answer:

(A) 0.377,

(B) 0.000,

(C) 0.953,

(D) 0.047

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that having a bone of intention means not liking one's Mother-in-Law

(A) P(all six dislike their Mother-in-Law) = (85%)^6 = (.85)^6 = 0.377

(B) P(none of the six dislike their Mother-in-Law) =

(100% - 85%)^6 =

0.15^6 =

0.000

(C) P(at least 4 dislike their Mother-in-Law) =

P(exactly 4 dislike their Mother-in-Law) + P(exactly 5 dislike their Mother-in-Law) + P(exactly 6 dislike their Mother-in-Law) =

C(6,4) * (.85)^4 * (1-.85)^2 + C(6,5) * (.85)^5 * (.15)^1 + C(6,6) * (.85)^6 = (15) * (.85)^4 * (.15)^2 + (6) * (.85)^5 * .15 + (1) * (.85)^6 =

0.953

(D) P(no more than 3 dislike their Mother-in-Law) =

P(exactly 0 dislikes their Mother-in-Law) + P(exactly 1 dislikes her Mother) + P(exactly 2 dislike their Mother-in-Law) + P(exactly 3 dislike their Mother-in-Law) =

C(6,0) * (.85)^0 * (.15)^6 + C(6,1) * (.85)^1 * (.15)^5 + C(6,2) * (.85)^2 * (.15)^4 + C(6,3) * (.85)^3 * (.15)^3 =

(1)(1)(.15)^6 + (6)(.85)(.15)^5 + (15)(.85)^2 *(.15)^4 + (20)(.85)^3 * (.15)^3 =

0.047

Please help with the question above :)!!! ^^
zhannawk [14.2K]
(-1,-9) because if we substituted 1 into x y would be 9 and if we substituted 1/2 into x y would be 3 but if we substituted -1 into x y would be 1/9 so therefore that value is incorrect
