Answer:

The missing value is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 5 values but only 4 are given:

⇒ The given values are: 8, 14, 7, and 13

⇒ Let the fifth value be "x"

We also know the mean which is 9.6

Solve for the missing value:

⇒ 9.6 (mean) = $\frac{8 + 14 + 7 + 13 + x}{5 numbers}$

multiply 5 on both sides

⇒ 9.6 x 5 = $\frac{8 + 14 + 7 + 13 + x}{5 numbers}$ x 5

⇒ 48 = 8 + 14 + 7 + 13 + x

add the numbers:

⇒ 8 + 14 + 7 + 13 + x = 42 + x

the equation becomes:

⇒ 48 = 42 + x

Now, subtract 42 on both sides:

⇒ 48 - 42 = 42 - 42 + x

⇒ 6 = x

A skyscraper casts a shadow 200 feet long. If the angle of elevation of the sun is 49 , then the height of the skyscraper is ___

Nookie1986 [14]

Based on the information, you could find it using this formula :

Assuming the height of the skyscraper is coded as 'y'

Tan 49 = y/200

1.1504 = y/200

y = 230.8 Feet

hope this helps

Answer:

Option a is correct -- $\frac{9}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we put infinity directly into the expression we get ∞ + ∞ expression. In order to circumvent it we divide both numerator and denominator with the greatest exponent.

$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{9n^{3}+5n-2}{2n^{3}}$

Divide each term by n³

$=\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\frac{9n^{3}}{n^{3}}+\frac{5n}{n^{3}} -\frac{2}{n^{3}}}{\frac{2n^{3}}{n^{3}} }$

$=\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{9(1)+\frac{5}{n^{2}}-\frac{2}{n^{3}}}{2(1)} } \\=\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{9+\frac{5}{n^{2}}-\frac{2}{n^{3}}}{2}} \\\\by putting n = infinity \frac{5}{n^{2}} becomes 0 and\frac{2}{n^{3}} becomes 0 \\=\frac{9+0-0}{2} \\=\frac{9}{2}$
