The distance from the kayak to the mountain to the nearest whole number is 43 meters.

The situation will form a right angle triangle as shown below in the diagram.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • One of its angle is 90 degrees.
  • The sides and angle can be found by using trigonometric ratios.

The height(opposite side) of the triangle is the kayak distance from the mountain to the lake below. The distance from the kayak to the mountain is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Therefore, using trigonometric ratios,

tan 35 = opposite / adjacent

tan 35° = 30 / a

a = 30 / tan 35°

a = 30 / 0.70020753821

a = 42.8444402023

a = 42.84 meters

a ≈ 43 meters

Solve by unfolding: a0=2, and, n&gt;=1, a_n=7a_n-1.
vodomira [7]
We are told that the first term is 2.  The next term is 7(2) = 14; the third term is 7(14) = 98.  And so on.  So, the first term and the common ratio (7) are known.

The nth term of this geometric series is a_n = 2(7)^(n-1).

Check:  What is the first term?  We expect it is 2.  2(7)^(1-1) = 2(1) = 2.  Correct.

What is the third term?  We expect it is 98.  2(7)^(3-1) = 2(7)^2 = 98.  Right.<span />

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,8) and (-2, -1).
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

y=-9/2x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-1-8)/(-2-(-4))

m=-9/(-2+4)

m=-9/2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-8=-9/2(x-(-4))

y-8=-9/2(x+4)

y=-9/2x-36/2+8

y=-9/2x-18+8

y=-9/2x-10
