Answer:

115.02 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression from an air traffic control tower to an airplane on the runway is 72 degrees. If the tower is 354 feet tall, how far is the airplane from the base of the tower?

We solve this question using the Trigonometric function of tan

tan x = Opposite/Adjacent

x = Angle of depression = 72°

Opposite = Height of the tower = 354 feet

Adjacent = Distance of the airplane from the base of the tower = y

Hence,

tan 72 = 354/y

Cross Multiply

tan 72 × y = 354

y = 354/tan 72

y = 115.02157247 feet

Approximately = 115.02 feet

Therefore, the distance of the airplane from the base of the tower is 115.02 feet

For f(x)=4x+1 and g(x)=x^2-5 find (f-g)(x)
Marrrta [24]

f(x)=4x+1,\ g(x)=x^2-5\\\\(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)\\\\\text{Therefore}\\\\(f-g)(x)=(4x+1)-(x^2-5)=4x+1-x^2+5=-x^2+4x+6

6a+(8b+2a)=6a+(2a+8b)=0 <br><br>please help me solve this
solniwko [45]
<span>Simplifying (6a + -8b)(6a + 8b) = 0 Multiply (6a + -8b) * (6a + 8b) (6a * (6a + 8b) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 ((6a * 6a + 8b * 6a) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 Reorder the terms: ((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 ((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 (48ab + 36a2 + (6a * -8b + 8b * -8b)) = 0 (48ab + 36a2 + (-48ab + -64b2)) = 0 Reorder the terms: (48ab + -48ab + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0 Combine like terms: 48ab + -48ab = 0 (0 + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0 (36a2 + -64b2) = 0 Solving 36a2 + -64b2 = 0 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '64b2' to each side of the equation. 36a2 + -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 + 64b2 Combine like terms: -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 36a2 + 0 = 0 + 64b2 36a2 = 0 + 64b2 Remove the zero: 36a2 = 64b2 Divide each side by '36'. a2 = 1.777777778b2 Simplifying a2 = 1.777777778b2 Take the square root of each side: a = {-1.333333333b, 1.333333333b}</span>
