Answer:
69.01 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
The tangent function is useful for problems like this. Let the height of the spire be represented by h. The distance (d) across the plaza from the first surveyor satisfies the relation ...
tan(50°) = (h -1.65)/d
Rearranging to solve for d, we have ...
d = (h -1.65)/tan(50°)
The distance across the plaza from the second surveyor satisfies the relation ...
tan(30°) = (101.65 -h)/d
Rearranging this, we have ...
d = (101.65 -h)/tan(30°)
Equating these expressions for d, we can solve for h.
(h -1.65)/tan(50°) = (101.65 -h)/tan(30°)
h(1/tan(50°) +1/tan(30°)) = 101.65/tan(30°) +1.65/tan(50°)
We can divide by the coefficient of h and simplify to get ...
h = (101.65·tan(50°) +1.65·tan(30°))/(tan(30°) +tan(50°))
h ≈ 69.0148 ≈ 69.01 . . . . meters
The tip of the spire is 69.01 m above the plaza.
Part (a)
The experimental or empirical probability is based on the results shown in the table. There are 13 instances of grey out of 50 spins total. Therefore, we end up with an experimental probability of 13/50. This converts to the decimal form 0.26
<h3>Answer: 0.26</h3>
===============================================
Part (b)
Since each slice is of equal size, this means theoretically each slice should have the same chance of being landed on. We have 3 grey slices out of 10 total. The probability of landing on a grey space is 3/10 = 0.3
<h3>Answer: 0.3</h3>
===============================================
Part (c)
<h3>Answer: Choice A) </h3>
As the number of spins increases, we expect the experimental and theoretical probabilities to become closer, though they might not be equal.
The theoretical probability is locked to 0.3 the whole time (only the experimental probability changes). This is according to the Law of Large Numbers.
Answer:
y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to know the definition of the "combined function" h(x). I'm going to guess--by looking at answers--that the function is
making it
This function is undefined wherever the denominator is equal to 0 (division by zero is undefined). Factor the denominator.
The two values of x that make the denominator 0 are 3 and -3, otherwise written
