The image I provided is a good diagram of the situation.

The keeper is 19 meters above the water.

He is looking down at a ship at a 10° angle from the horizon.

We want to find the distance between the base of the lighthouse and the ship.

The side we are trying to find is opposite the angle 10°. The lighthouse is adjacent to the angle 10°.

Therefore, we can use the tangent function (opposite over adjacent).

tan 10° = x/19

Multiply both sides by 19:

19 tan 10° = x

Solve using a calculator:

x = 3.350 meters

The ship is 3.350 meters from the lighthouse.

What is the domain of the function shown on the graph?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the arrows on the graph, it appears that as the graph keep growing UP unbounded, it also keeps growing to the left unbounded (to negative infinity, to be exact). Looking to the right, it appears that as the graph decreases unbounded (the y values keep getting smaller), the graph keeps growing in the x direct to positive infinity. So the domain is

- ∞ < x < ∞

A box contains 500 marbles. The result of 20 marbles pulled at random from the box is given below.
Anni [7]

Answer:

100 black marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability of a black marble is

P(black) = 4/20 = 1/5

We expect that out of the 500 marbles in the box, 1/5 of them are black

1/5 (500) = 100

There should be 100 black marbles
