Answer:

  • 52.35 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Refer to picture.</em>

Let the distance to men are x and y and the distance between them is d.

The angle of depreciation is 27° and 30°, hence top angle of the triangle is 63° or 60°.

<u>Find the distance from the tower to men:</u>

  • x = 20 tan 63° = 39.25 m
  • y = 20 tan 60° = 34.64 m

<u>The distance between men is:</u>

  • d = \sqrt{x^2+y^2} =\sqrt{39.25^2+34.64^2} = 52.35m

<em>Note, all numbers are rounded</em>

How the transformations of the functions f(x)=15tanx and g(x)=tanx+15 differ?
Irina-Kira [14]
The transformation of <span>f(x)=15tanx would be achieved by dilating y</span>=tanx graph 15 times. This transformation will cause y'=15 y. This will increase the value of dilation become 15 times of the original

The transformation of g(x)=15tanx would be achieved by shifting y=tanx graph 15 right. This transformation will cause x'=x+15. This will change the value from tan x into tan(x+15)

A line intersects the point (6,9) and (7,4). What is the slope intercept equation for this line?
taurus [48]

Answer:

y = -5x + 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug either ordered pair into the Point-Slope Formula FIRST, <em>y</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>₁</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em>(</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>₁</em><em>)</em><em>,</em><em> </em>then convert to Slope-Intercept Form by moving whichever term is nearest to <em>y</em><em>,</em><em> </em>over to the right side of the equivalence symbol to get the above answer.

In an experiment you do a chi-square test comparing observed and expected progeny. Your calculated chi square is 0.375. With 1 d
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

It mean that the observed progeny is similar than the expected progeny. There is no a relationship between the categorical variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chi-squared test is used to test the relationship between categorical variables. A categorical variable is a non-numerical variable. The null hypothesis of the Chi-squared test is that categorical variables are independent; it means that the frequencies are not dependent on the variable. It is important to know that the Chi-squared test does not measure causality, it only measures the relationship. To reject the null hypothesis, you usually need a probability lower than 0.05, but in this case, the probability was way higher than 0.05, it was between 0.5 and 0.9.
