A building 240 feet tall casts a 40 foot long shadow. If a person stands at the end of the shadow and looks up to the top of the

building, what is the angle of the person's eyes to the top of the building (to the nearest hundredth of a degree)? (Assume the person's eyes are 4 feet above ground level.)

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  80.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The person is standing 40 ft from the building. The point they're looking at is 236 ft above their eyes. So the angle α is found from ...

  tan(α) = 236/40

  α = arctan(236/40) ≈ 80.38°

Answer:

x= 3.096

Step-by-step explanation:

divide both sides by 5: 3^(x-1)= 10

then take the log to get log_3 (10) = x-1 = 2.096

x= 3.096

Choose the correct simplification of (7x3y3)2.<br><br> 14x6y6<br> 49x5y5<br> 49x6y6<br> 14x5y5
dolphi86 [110]
The answer would be the first one.

I find it easier to expand the equation (you still get the same answer).

= 2 * 7x + 2 * 3y + 2 * 3
= 14x + 6y + 6

Hope this helps!

I.) (5x+3)/4-(2x-4)/3=5
Clear fractions:
3·((5x+3)/4)=15x+9
4·((2x-4)/3)=8x-16
15x+9-(8x-16)=5
15x+9-8x+16=5
Combine like terms:
7x+25=5
7x=-20
x=-20/7

II.) (3/11)·(5/6)-(9/12)·(4/3)+(5/13)·(6/15)
Remember PEMDAS
So first multiply:
3/11·5/6=15/66
9/12·4/3=3/3·1/1=3/3=1
5/13·6/15=1/13·6/3=6/39=2/13
(15/66)-1+(2/13)
Combine:
15/66-1/1=15/66-66/66=-51/66
-51/66+2/3=-51/66+44/66=-7/66
Answer: -7/66 :)

Calculate the number of ways to form a set of three distinct items such that no two of the selected items are in the same row or
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

1200

Explanation:

Order does not matter, if we said xyz order, it would still not make a difference if it was zyx or yzx hence we use the combination formula:

nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!

where n= total number of items

r= number of items chosen at a time

Combinations are used when the order of events do not matter in calculating the outcome.

We calculate using the formula:

(30×20×12)÷3!=1200

There are therefore 1200 ways for the three distinct items to not be in same row or column

For a function p(x)= x^2-9, what is the inverse function for the domain [0, infinity\
kkurt [141]
An inverse function is a function that reverses another function, so we have a function called:

p(x)

Then, the inverse function will be as follows:

p^{-1}(x)

Given that y = p(x), we need to isolate x in terms of y:

y =  x^{2} -9
∴ y+9 = x^{2}

So:

x=+\sqrt{y+9} and x=-\sqrt{y+9}

therefore, exchanging variables x and y:

y=+\sqrt{x+9} and y=-\sqrt{x+9}
p^{-1}(x)=+\sqrt{x+9} and p^{-1}(x)=-\sqrt{x+9}

Which are the figures shown below.
