Step-by-step explanation:

law of sine :

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC

with the sides and correlating angles being always opposite to each other.

we are dealing with a right-angled triangle here.

the train track is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle) : 1600 ft.

the horizontal level "connection" from beginning to the end of the track is one leg, and the elevation difference at the end of the track is the second leg.

the 2 legs enclose a 90° angle, as the elevation goes straight up from the horizontal level.

so, we have

1600/sin(90) = elevation difference / sin(1.6)

sin(90) = 1

1600 = elevation difference / sin(1.6)

elevation difference = 1600 × sin(1.6) =

= 1600 × 0.027921639... =

= 44.67462196... ft

≈ 44.7 ft

How do i turn 24% into a fraction
PolarNik [594]
You can remove the % sign if you divide the number by 100:

\frac{24}{100}


This is because % is defined as 1/100, and the name (per-cent) actually meant this originally!
we can also simplify it: let's divide it by 4:

\frac{6}{25}

Choose whether it's always, sometimes, never 
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: An integer added to an integer is an integer, this statement is always true. A polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true. A polynomial divided by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is sometimes true. A polynomial multiplied by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

Explanation:

1)

The closure property of integer states that the addition, subtraction and multiplication is integers is always an integer.

If a\in Z\text{ and }b\in Z, then a+b\in Z.

Therefore, an integer added to an integer is an integer, this statement is always true.

2)

A polynomial is in the form of,

p(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{x-1}+...+a_1x+a_0

Where a_n,a_{n-1},...,a_1,a_0 are constant coefficient.

When we subtract the two polynomial then the resultant is also a polynomial form.

Therefore, a polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

3)

If a polynomial divided by a polynomial  then it may or may not be a polynomial.

If the degree of numerator polynomial is higher than the degree of denominator polynomial then it may be a polynomial.

For example:

f(x)=x^2-2x+5x-10 \text{ and } g(x)=x-2

Then \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=x^2+5, which a polynomial.

If the degree of numerator polynomial is less than the degree of denominator polynomial then it is a rational function.

For example:

f(x)=x^2-2x+5x-10 \text{ and } g(x)=x-2

Then \frac{g(x)}{f(x)}=\frac{1}{x^2+5}, which a not a polynomial.

Therefore, a polynomial divided by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is sometimes true.

4)

As we know a polynomial is in the form of,

p(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{x-1}+...+a_1x+a_0

Where a_n,a_{n-1},...,a_1,a_0 are constant coefficient.

When we multiply the two polynomial, the degree of the resultand function is addition of degree of both polyminals and the resultant is also a polynomial form.

Therefore, a polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.
