The horizontal distance between Carl and the rock at sea is approximately 60.62ft.

Data;

  • Angle = 30 degree
  • Opposite = 35
  • Adjacent = x

<h3>Trigonometric Ratio</h3>

Given the angle of depression from his point to the sea, we can use trigonometric ratio to calculate for the horizontal distance from his location to the bottom of the sea.

SOHCAHTOA

Since we have the value of angle and opposite and we need to calculate the adjacent side of the right-angle triangle, we can use the tangent of the angle to this effect.

Tan\theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan 30 = \frac{35}{x}\\ x = \frac{35}{tan30}\\ x = 60.62ft

The horizontal distance between Carl and the rock at sea is approximately 60.62ft.

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation 2x2 + x-1 = 2
algol [13]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x² + x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1

The factors are - 2 and + 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - \frac{3}{2}

3(5b-1)=5<br> solve for b<br><br> 4(3y-1)=20<br> solve for y
Gnom [1K]
3(5b-1)=5
Get rid of the brackets
15b-3=5
add 3 to both sides of the equation
15b=8
divide both sides of the equation by 15
b=0.53

4(3y-1)=20
12y-4=20
12y=24
y=0.5

The scheduled arrival time for a daily flight from Boston to New York is 9:35 am. Historical data show that the arrival time fol
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The mean is 11.5 minutes and the standard deviation is of 6.64 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The mean is:

M = \frac{a+b}{2}

The standard deviation is:

S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}}

Arrival time of 9:18 am and a late arrival time of 9:41 am.

9:41 is 23 minutes from 9:18. So the time is uniformily distributed between 0 and 23 minutes, so a = 0, b = 23.

Mean:

M = \frac{a+b}{2} = \frac{0+23}{2} = 11.5

Standard deviation:

S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}} = \sqrt{\frac{(23 - 0)^{2}}{12}} = 6.64

The mean is 11.5 minutes and the standard deviation is of 6.64 minutes
