Two fire rangers in watch towers that are 10 miles apart spotted a fire at the same time. The first ranger indicated that the po

sition of the fire made an angle of 39° with the line between the towers. The second ranger indicated that it made an angle of 34° with the same line. How far is the second tower from the fire?

Answer:5.455 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the height of watch towers are same(h)

and distance between them is 10 miles

first ranger indicated angle=39^{\circ}

second ranger indicated angle=34^{\circ}

let x be the distance from second ranger to fire

thus \frac{h}{10-x}=tan34

\frac{h}{x}=tan39

equating h values

10tan39=1.48429x

x=5.444  miles

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rate is 1/3 acre per 3/4 hours.

To calculate the rate per hour, we have to divide total acres by the fraction of hour

=> \frac{\frac{1}{3} }{\frac{3}{4} }

=> \frac{4}{3*3}

=> 4/9

1.How many combinations are possible from the letters HOLIDAY if the letters are taken?
Lesechka [4]

Using the combination formula, it is found that:

1. A. 7 combinations are possible.

B. 21 combinations are possible.

C. 1 combination is possible.

2. There are 245 ways to group them.

<h3>What is the combination formula?</h3>

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Exercise 1, item a:

One letter from a set of 7, hence:

C_{7,1} = \frac{7!}{1!6!} = 7

7 combinations are possible.

Item b:

Two letters from a set of 7, hence:

C_{7,2} = \frac{7!}{2!5!} = 21

21 combinations are possible.

Item c:

7 letters from a set of 7, hence:

C_{7,7} = \frac{7!}{0!7!} = 1

1 combination is possible.

Question 2:

Three singers are taken from a set of 7, and four dances from a set of 10, hence:

T = C_{7,3}C_{10,4} = \frac{7!}{3!4!} \times \frac{10!}{4!6!} = 245

There are 245 ways to group them.

The slope of a line is calculated as ;

Given : (-2,3) and (2,-1)

m = Δy/Δx

m= -1-3 /2--2

m = -4 /4 = -1

The slope is -1

What are the asymptotes of the graph of f(x) ?
Ad libitum [116K]
When in doubt, graph it.

The 3rd and 4th choices are appropriate.

_____
This is what is known as a "logistic function." It is used to model population growth when there is a resource limit. It starts out exponential, but then slows as it reaches the "carrying capacity" of the environment. The lower asymptote is zero; the upper one is the carrying capacity of the resource--here 15/1 = 15.
