Answer: The height of the mountain is 1,331.4 meters (approximately)
Step-by-step explanation: From the information given, the students were standing at point b which is 800 meters from the base of the mountain and the angle of elevation from that point is 59°. Assuming that the ground is level, we can derive a right angled triangle from this set of details and hence we have triangle ABC, where angle β is the reference angle, (59 degrees), BC is the distance from the students to the base of the mountain (800 meters) and the line AC is the height of the mountain.
The line AC is the opposite, since angle B is the reference angle, therefore we shall use the trigonometric ratio as follows;
Tan β = opposite/adjacent
Tan 59 = AC/800
Tan 59 x 800 = AC
1.6643 x 800 = AC
1331.44 = AC
AC ≈ 1331.4
Therefore the height of the mountain is approximately 1,331.4 meters
Answer:
a. E(x) = 3.730
b. c = 3.8475
c. 0.4308
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
Given
0 x < 3
F(x) = (x-3)/1.13, 3 < x < 4.13
1 x > 4.13
Calculating E(x)
First, we'll calculate the pdf, f(x).
f(x) is the derivative of F(x)
So, if F(x) = (x-3)/1.13
f(x) = F'(x) = 1/1.13, 3 < x < 4.13
E(x) is the integral of xf(x)
xf(x) = x * 1/1.3 = x/1.3
Integrating x/1.3
E(x) = x²/(2*1.13)
E(x) = x²/2.26 , 3 < x < 4.13
E(x) = (4.13²-3²)/2.16
E(x) = 3.730046296296296
E(x) = 3.730 (approximated)
b.
What is the value c such that P(X < c) = 0.75
First, we'll solve F(c)
F(c) = P(x<c)
F(c) = (c-3)/1.13= 0.75
c - 3 = 1.13 * 0.75
c - 3 = 0.8475
c = 3 + 0.8475
c = 3.8475
c.
What is the probability that X falls within 0.28 minutes of its mean?
Here we'll solve for
P(3.73 - 0.28 < X < 3.73 + 0.28)
= F(3.73 + 0.28) - F(3.73 + 0.28)
= 2*0.28/1.3 = 0.430769
= 0.4308 -- Approximated
Since you need an isolated variable to use the substitution method, we need to re-arrange one of the equations. This will probably be easiest to do with the first one.
Add 5y to both sides of the first equation.
x=10+5y
Now, in the second equation, put in 10+5y in any spot that has an x.
2(10+5y)-10y=20
Distribute the 2 to both numbers in the parenthesis.
20+10y-10y=20
Combine like terms.
20=20
This means that the two equations are actually the same. You can see this if you multiply the whole first equation by 2
2(x-5y=10)
2x-10y=20, which is the same as the second equation. Therefore, the two equations are actually the same one.
Hi there.
Y = 2x + 3
Solve for y when x = 3
The first thing we need to do is replace x by the 3 in the equation.
Y = 2(3) + 3
Y = 6 + 3
Y = 9
Thus, your answer is : C
Answer:
a) There will be approximately a water depth of 7.5 meters after 3h
b) Approximately 2.5 hours have passed when there is 8 m of water in the tank.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Look for the y-value when the x-value is 3.
b) Look for the x-value when the y-value is 8.
*The y-axis is the depth (m), and the x-axis is the time (h).
