Answer:

128.67 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the tower be x feet.

$\tan \: 65 \degree = \frac{x}{60} \\ \\ 2.1445069205 = \frac{x}{60} \\ \\ x = 2.1445069205 \times 60 \\ \\ x = 128.670415 \\ \\ x = 128.67 \: ft$

A small business employs 6 women and 4 men. The manager randomly selects 3 of them to be on a team. What is the probability that

ElenaW [278]

Total of 10 persons, out of which 6 are women.
So
probability of choosing the first woman = 6/10
probability of choosing the second woman = 5/9
probability of choosing the third woman = 4/8

Since we want all 3 steps to be a success, we need to have success in each of the steps, and the overall probability is given by the multiplication rule:
P(all 3 are women)=6/10*5/9*4/8=120/720=1/6

The intercepts and the graph on your worksheet are not correct. Please see below for details:

$x^2-2x-3=0$ has solutions at x=-1 and x=3 (use the quadratic formula to solve). That means these are the x-intercepts, namely points:

(-1,0) and (3,0).

The y-intercept comes from setting x=0 and calculating the y value:

$y=0^2-2\cdot0-3=-3$

so the y-intercept is (0,-3).

Now to the graph: Based on the form of the function we can see this is a quadratic function and its graph will be a parabola. You can reformat the expression in the following form

$y = x^2-2x-3=(x-1)^2-4$
