Answer:

15.95 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 62°

Using trigonometric relation :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

From the drawing attached :

Opposite = 30 feets

Distance between girl and lighthouse = d

Tan 62 = 30 / d

1.8807264 * d = 30

d = 30 / 1.8807264

d = 15.951283

d = 15.95 feets

Please help me Algebra 1
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

a.  \sqrt{x^n} = x^\frac{n}{2}

b. \sqrt{x^n}  = x^\frac{(n-1)}{2}\sqrt{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When <em>n </em>is even, then it is divisible by 2. Because of this, you can write:

  • \sqrt{x^n} = (x^n)^\frac{1}{2}
  • \sqrt{x^n} = x^\frac{n}{2}

b) When <em>n </em>is odd, then <em>n - 1 </em> is even. This would make it divisible by 2, and there would be a remainder of 1, so we can write:

  • \sqrt{x^n} = (x^n^-^1^+^1) ^\frac{1}{2}
  • \sqrt{x^n} = (x^n^-^1 × x)^\frac{1}{2}
  • \sqrt{x^n} = x^\frac{(n-1)}{2} × x^\frac{1}{2}
  • \sqrt{x^n}  = x^\frac{(n-1)}{2}\sqrt{x}
