Answer:

x = 29tan53

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance from base of the tree = 29feet

Angle of elevation = 53degrees

Required

Height of the tree = x

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

tan 53 = x/29

x = 29tan53

Hence the required measure is x = 29tan53

NO LINKS!! Use the method of substitution to solve the system. (If there's no solution, enter no solution). Part 11z​
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{-1,-8} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(smaller $x$-value)}

(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{5,16} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(larger $x$-value)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

\begin{cases}y=x^2-9\\y=4x-4\end{cases}

To solve by the method of substitution, substitute the first equation into the second equation and rearrange so that the equation equals zero:

\begin{aligned}x^2-9&=4x-4\\x^2-4x-9&=-4\\x^2-4x-5&=0\end{aligned}

Factor the quadratic:

\begin{aligned}x^2-4x-5&=0\\x^2-5x+x-5&=0\\x(x-5)+1(x-5)&=0\\(x+1)(x-5)&=0\end{aligned}

Apply the <u>zero-product property</u> and solve for x:

\implies x+1=0 \implies x=-1

\implies x-5=0 \implies x=5

Substitute the found values of x into the <u>second equation</u> and solve for y:

\begin{aligned}x=-1 \implies y&=4(-1)-4\\y&=-4-4\\y&=-8\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}x=5 \implies y&=4(5)-4\\y&=20-4\\y&=16\end{aligned}

Therefore, the solutions are:

(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{-1,-8} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(smaller $x$-value)}

(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{5,16} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(larger $x$-value)}

Betty decides to set aside $200/month. If her monthly 401(k) savings are earning 5.4% APR compounded monthly, what will the bala
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

(9) $339076.60 (10) $72000 (11) $220800

Note: Kindly find an attached copy of the complete question given below. i solved for 9,10,11 only.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Betty set aside $200/month

With a 401 (k) savings

t = 40 years

APR = 5.4%

Now we find the balance in her account after 40 years.

Now,

A = PMT [(1 +r/n)^nt -1]/(r/n)

A = 200 [ (1 + 0.054/12)^(12)(40) - 1]/(0.054/12)

A= $339076.60

(10) Recall that:

t = 40 years

Per month deposit = $150 dollar

The total deposit becomes

t = 40 * 12 = 480 Month

Total deposit = 480 * 150

=$72000

(11) Now we find the less money she received in her paychecks

Thus

Without monthly saving paycheck is =$2300

Now,

For 40 years becomes = $2300 * 40 * 12

=$1,104000

So,

20% of tax deducted = 20/100 * $1,104000

=$220800

Therefore the less amount received in 40 years is $220800

What is the slope if the line through the points 2/3, 4/7 and 2/3, 11/7
Umnica [9.8K]

The fromula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points \left(\dfrac{2}{3},\ \dfrac{4}{7}\right) and \left(\dfrac{2}{3},\ \dfrac{11}{7}\right)

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{\frac{11}{7}-\frac{4}{7}}{\frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{3}}=\dfrac{\frac{7}{7}}{0}\ !!!!

<h3>Answer: slope is undefined.</h3><h3 />

It's a vertical line: x=\dfrac{2}{3}
