$\\ \sf\longmapsto tan40=\dfrac{P}{430}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.83=\dfrac{P}{430}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P=430(0.83)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P\approx361m$

P=Height of tower

Answer:

$\displaystyle 361\:m.$

Step-by-step explanation:

You would set your proportion up as so:

$\displaystyle \frac{430}{h} = cot\:40° → 430 = hcot\: 40° → \frac{430}{cot\: 40°} = h → 360,8128414... = h \\ \\ 361 ≈ h$

So, the height of the clock tower is approximately 361 metres.

Since q(x) is inside p(x), find the x-value that results in q(x) = 1/4

$\frac{1}{4} = 5 - x^2\ \Rightarrow\ x^2 = 5 - \frac{1}{4}\ \Rightarrow\ x^2 = \frac{19}{4}\ \Rightarrow \\
x = \frac{\sqrt{19} }{2}$

so we conclude that
$q(\frac{\sqrt{19} }{2} ) = 1/4$

therefore

$p(1/4) = p\left( q\left(\frac{ \sqrt{19} }{2} \right) \right)$

plug $x=\sqrt{19}/2$ into p( q(x) ) to get answer

$p(1/4) = p\left( q\left( \frac{ \sqrt{19} }{2} \right) \right)\ \Rightarrow\ \dfrac{4 - \left( \frac{\sqrt{19} }{2}\right)^2 }{ \left( \frac{\sqrt{19} }{2}\right)^3 } \Rightarrow \\ \\ \dfrac{4 - \frac{19}{4} }{ \frac{19\sqrt{19} }{8}} \Rightarrow \dfrac{8\left(4 - \frac{19}{4}\right) }{ 8 \cdot \frac{19\sqrt{19} }{8}} \Rightarrow \dfrac{32 - 38}{19\sqrt{19}} \Rightarrow \dfrac{-6}{19\sqrt{19}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{19}}{\sqrt{19}}\Rightarrow$

$\dfrac{-6\sqrt{19} }{19 \cdot 19} \\ \\ \Rightarrow -\dfrac{6\sqrt{19} }{361}$

$p(1/4) = -\dfrac{6\sqrt{19} }{361}$

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

40 km on the highway

30 km on the city roads

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = highway

Let y = city road

The time formula: time = distance / speed.

1) Since we do not know the distance travelled on the highway and city roads but we do know the total time taken, we can say x + y = 70. Set the distances x and y and all equated to 2 hours, since we do not know them, nor do we know the time. This is called a system of equations.

x + y = 70

x/80 + y/20 = 2

2) Solve the system of equations using substitution.

x = 70 - y

---------------

70 - y/80 + y/20 = 2

70 + 3y/80 = 2

y = 30

---------------------------------

x + 30 = 70

x = 70 - 30

x = 40

Therefore, the delivery truck travelled 40 km on the highway and 30 km on the city roads.
