Travis spies an owl in a tall tree. He estimates the height of the tree to be 85 feet and the angle of elevation to the bird fro

m where he stands to be 68°. The leaves on the tree make it difficult for Travis to watch the bird, so he takes several steps away from the tree to get a better view. He now estimates his angle of elevation to be 41°.
How many feet did Travis step back to gain a better view of the bird? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot.

Please help!!

Answer:

63.44 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

tan(68 degrees)= 85/y  

y tan (68 degrees)=85

y=85/tan(68 degrees) ( cross multiply)

y = 34.34 feet

tan (41 degrees)=85/x+y

(x+y)tan(41 degrees)=85

x+y=85/tan 41 degrees

x=85/tan(41 degrees) - y

x= 85/tan (41 degrees)-(34.34) (cross multiply)

Therefore, Travis stepped back 63.44 feet to gain a better view!

Q # 8 please helme to resolve
kondor19780726 [428]

Sequence 1,5,9,13,...

A(0) = 1 +4x0=1

A(1) =1 + 4x1 = 5

A(2) = 1+ 4x2= 9

A(3) = 1 +4x3=13

A(n)= 1+4n   A(n-1) = 1+4(n-1) =1+4n-4= - 3+4n

A(n) - A(n-1) = (1+4n) - (-3=4n) = 4

A(n) = A(n-1) +4; 29 is the answer

Do –2(3x – 1) = –6x – 1 have one solution
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

–2(3x – 1) = –6x – 1

First distribute the left side

-6x + 2 = -6x - 1

Add 1 to both sides

-6x + 3 = -6x

Add 6x to both sides

3 = 0

This equation is not true because 3 does NOT equal 0. Therefor, this equation has no solutions.
