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

Answer:

v=a+ 2e1= [3 1 1 1] $x^{T}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = $^{}$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\\1&1&1\\\end{array}\right] ^{T}$ and we know that $\alpha$ =±║α║₂= 2.

As we have gone over in class, the formula for v is v= a- $\alpha$ e1

with the sign of chosen to avoid subtraction. This gives v=a+ 2e1= [3 1 1 1] $x^{T}$ .

Answer:

2x - 12 + 6 = 4x - 4

2x- 6 = 4x - 4

-6 +4 = 4x - 2x

-2 = 2x

x= -2/2

x = -1

Paul has 12 coins in his pocket, consisting entirely of dimes and quarters. If he has a total of 195 cents in coins, how many co

anyanavicka [17]

Let x be the number of dimes

and y be the number of quarters

Total number of coins = 12

So number of dimes + number of quarters = total number of coins

x + y = 12 ---------> equation 1

We know, 1 Quarter = 25 cents, 1 Dime = 10 cents, total cents = 196

y quarters = 25y cents , x dimes = 10x cents

x dimes + y quarters = 195 cents

10x + 25y = 195 -----------> equation 2

Now solve both equations

x + y =12, we solve for y by subtracting x on both sides

y = 12-x

Now substitute y in second equation

10x + 25(12-x) = 195

10x + 300 -25x = 195 (combine like terms)

-15x + 300 = 195 (subtract 300 on both sides)

-15x = -105 ( divide by -15)

x=7

y= 12-x

y=12-7 = 5

The number of dimes = 7

Number of quarters = 5

Tara had $350 in her bank account she received three birthday checks for $35 each and but bought two new video games for $41 eac

goldfiish [28.3K]

We conclude that the final amount that she has in her bank account is $375.

<h3>How much has Tara in her bank account now?</h3>

Here we need to perform some additions and subtractions. We know that Tara starts with $350 in her account.

Then she received 3 checks for $35 each, so at this point she has:

$350 + 3*$35 = $455

Now she buys 2 video games for $41 each, so we need to subtract two times $41, we will get:

$455 - 2*$41 = $375

We conclude that the final amount that she has in her bank account is $375.
