Answer:

Height of the tree is 78.11 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying the tangent rule in the right triangle formed,

Since, tanθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

tan(32)° = $\frac{h}{125}$

h = 125(tan32°)

h = 125(0.62487)

h = 78.109

≈ 78.11 ft

Height of the tree will be 78.11 feet.

Answer:

4.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rocket hits the ground when h(t) = 0. So

$-16t^{2} + 72t + 7 = 0$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$-16t^{2} + 72t + 7 = 0$

$a = -16, b = 72, c = 7$

Then

$\bigtriangleup = 72^{2} - 4*(-16)*7 = 5632$

$t_{1} = \frac{-72 + \sqrt{5632}}{2*(-16)} = -0.1$

$t_{2} = \frac{-72 - \sqrt{5632}}{2*(-16)} = 4.6$

Time is a positive measure, so the answer is 4.6.

F(x) = 2x² + x at (-1, 1)

Answer:

$f(x) = 2 {x}^{2} + x \\ at \: that \: point \: given \: \: x = - 1 \\ f(x) = 2 {( - 1)}^{2} + ( - 1) \\ f(x) = 2 - 1 \\ f(x) = 1$

A carton has a length of 2 1/4 feet, width of 1 3/5 feet, and height of 2 1/3 feet. What is the volume of the carton?

Alik [6]

Multiply 2 1/4, 1 3/5 and 2 1/3 together! It would be easier to turn these mixed fractions into improper fractions.
