Answer:

512 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the parking lot at the Red Hill Shopping Center, the angle of sight (elevation) to the top of the hill is about 25. From the base of the hill you can also sight the top but at an angle of 55. The horizontal distance between sightings is 740 feet. How high is Red Hill? Show your subproblems.

Solution:

Let x be the distance from the base of the hill to the middle of the hill perpendicular to the height, let h be the height of the hill. Therefore:

tan 25 = h/(x + 740)

h = (x + 740)tan 25       (1)

tan 55 = h / x

h = x tan 55        (2)

Hence:

(x + 740)tan 25 = xtan 55

0.4663(x + 740) = 1.428x

0.4663x + 345.07 = 1.428x

0.9617x = 345.07

x = 359 ft.

h = xtan55 = 359 tan(55) = 512 ft.

A sample of 300 urban adult residents of a particular state revealed 65 who favored increasing the highway speed limit from 55 t
forsale [732]

Answer and explanation:

Null hypothesis(H0) says sentiment for increasing speed limit in the two populations is the same

Alternative hypothesis(Ha) says sentiment for increasing speed limit in the two populations is different

Where p1 is the first population proportion =65/297= 0.22

And p2 is the second population proportion = 78/189= 0.41

P= p1+p2/n1+n2= 65+78/297+189= 0.29

Hence H0= p1-p2=0

Ha=p1-p2≠0

Test statistic= p1-p2/√p(1-p) (1/n1+1/n2)

= 0.22-0.41/√0.29(1-0.29)(1/297+1/189)

= -4.49

Critical value at 95% significance level= 1.96( from tables)

We therefore reject null hypothesis as critical value is greater than test statistic

Therefore the sentiment for increasing speed limit in the two populations is different

b. at proportions of 0.24 and 0.40 for p1 and p2 respectively

Test statistic = 0.24-0.40/0.29(1-0.29)(1/297+1/189)

= -3.78

P value is 0.0002 at 0.05 significance level

Hence probability =0.4998

Write the expression as the sine, cosine, or tangent of an angle.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

tan56°

Step-by-step explanation:

The Addition identity for tangent ratio is

tan(x + y) = \frac{tanx+tany}{1-tanxtany} , thus

\frac{tan24+tan32}{1-tan24tan32} = tan(24 + 32)° = tan56°
