Looking North, Two Skyscrapers Are Sighted From The Viewing Deck Of The Empire State Building At 1250
Answer 2

The angle of depression is the angle between the line of sight and a vertical line.

The distance between the two skyscrapers is 1269ft

I've added as an attachment, a figure that illustrates the scenario

First, we calculate distance AB using the following tangent ratio

[tex]\mathbf{\tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{\tan(60) = \frac{AB}{1250}}[/tex]

Make AB the subject

[tex]\mathbf{AB = 1250 \times \tan(60)}[/tex]

Next, we calculate distance AC using the following tangent ratio

[tex]\mathbf{\tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{\tan(60+10) = \frac{AB + BC}{1250}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\tan(70) = \frac{AB + BC}{1250}}[/tex]

Make AB + BC, the subject

[tex]\mathbf{AB + BC = 1250 \times \tan(70)}[/tex]

Make BC the subject

[tex]\mathbf{BC = 1250 \times \tan(70) - AB}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{AB = 1250 \times \tan(60)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{BC = 1250 \times \tan(70) - 1250 \times \tan(60)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{BC = 1269}[/tex]

Hence, the distance between the two skyscrapers is 1269ft

Answers

Answer:  y = 0.0005x+1

This is the same as saying y = (1/2000)x + 1

===============================================================

Explanation:

The blue line goes through (0,1) and (2000,2)

The slope is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-1)/(2000-0)

m = 1/2000

This says that each time we move up 1, we move to the right 2000 units.

Think of it as slope = rise/run = 1/2000

The slope 1/2000 means that each time you make 2000 soccer balls, it will cost you $1000. Keep in mind that y is in thousands (eg: y = 1 means 1000). This further implies that the marginal cost is ($1000)/2000 = $0.50 = 50 cents. The marginal cost is the cost to make one extra unit.

The fraction 1/2000 converts to the decimal form 0.0005 after using a calculator. So m = 0.0005 is the decimal form of the slope.

The y intercept of the blue line is b = 1 as this is the location where the blue line crosses the vertical y axis. The y intercept represents the fixed costs needed to set up production, for example: buying the machinery needed is a fixed cost.

-------------------

Since m = 0.0005 and b = 1, we go from y = mx+b to y = 0.0005x+1

We could say y = (1/2000)x + 1, though I think it's probably easier to use a decimal in this case.

The diagram shows triangle ABC. Calculate the length of AC

Answers

Given:

In triangle ABC, AB=8.2 cm, C=13.5 cm and angle A= 81 degrees.

To find:

The length of AC.

Solution:

According to the Law of Sines:

[tex]\dfrac{\sin A}{a}=\dfrac{\sin B}{b}=\dfrac{\sin C}{c}[/tex]

Using Law of Sines, we get

[tex]\dfrac{\sin A}{a}=\dfrac{\sin C}{c}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sin (81^\circ)}{13.50}=\dfrac{\sin C}{8.2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sin (81^\circ)\times 8.2}{13.50}=\sin C[/tex]

[tex]\sin^{-1}\dfrac{\sin (81^\circ)\times 8.2}{13.50}= C[/tex]

[tex]C\approx 36.86^\circ[/tex]

Using angle sum property, we get

[tex]\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex]81^\circ+\angle B+36.86^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex] \angle B =180^\circ-81^\circ-36.86^\circ [/tex]

[tex] \angle B =62.14^\circ [/tex]

Now,

[tex]\dfrac{\sin A}{a}=\dfrac{\sin B}{b}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sin (81^\circ)}{13.50}=\dfrac{\sin (62.14^\circ)}{b}[/tex]

[tex]b=\dfrac{13.50\times \sin (62.14^\circ)}{\sin (81^\circ)}[/tex]

[tex]b\approx 12.08[/tex]

Therefore, the length of AC is 12.08 cm.

Answers

Answer:

PR = 6.93 units

PQ = 13.86 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From ΔPQR,

m∠Q = 30°

QR = 12

By applying tangent rule for the given angle in the triangle,

tan(30°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]

tan(30°) = [tex]\frac{PR}{QR}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{PR}{12}[/tex]

PR = [tex]\frac{12}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

PR = 4√3 ≈ 6.93

Now we apply cosine rule,

cos(30°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}=\frac{QR}{PQ}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}=\frac{12}{PQ}[/tex]

PQ = [tex]\frac{24}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

PQ = 8√3 ≈ 13.86

If he did not want to buy 10 items then he could buy 21 books, 10 cd's and 1 book, or 4 t-shirts and 1 book. But because of all the conditions Johnson should buy 2 t-shirts ($50), 3 cd's ($30), and 5 books ($25). $105 total, and as much of each item as possible.

Find the equation of the line between the points (10, – 5) and ( - 2,0).

Answers

Answer (assuming it can be in slope-intercept form):

[tex]y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line between the two points by using the slope formula, [tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

[tex]m = \frac{(0)-(-5)}{(-2)-(10)} \\m = \frac{0+5}{-2-10} \\m=\frac{5}{-12}[/tex]

Thus, the slope of the line is [tex]-\frac{5}{12}[/tex].

2) Next, use the point-slope formula [tex]y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)[/tex] to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for [tex]m[/tex], [tex]x_1[/tex], and [tex]y_1[/tex] in the formula.

Since [tex]m[/tex] represents the slope, substitute [tex]-\frac{5}{12}[/tex] in its place. Since [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]y_1[/tex] represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, it will equal the same thing) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (-2,0), as seen below.) Then, isolate y and expand the right side in the resulting equation to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

[tex]y-(0)=-\frac{5}{12} (x-(-2))\\y-0 = -\frac{5}{12} (x+2)\\y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step 3: x² + 6x + 64 = -8 + 64

Step-by-step explanation:

At step 3 add 64 on both sides to complete the square.

so x² + 6x = -8

becomes x² + 6x + 64 = -8 + 64 when 64 is added both sides giving us step 3.

continuing from there, we get

x² + 6x + 64 = 56

we then use a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)² on the left side to get

(x + 8)² = 56 (solve the equation for x)

by taking the root on both sides

√(x + 8)² = √56

x + 8 = +- 2√14 (separate the equations

x + 8 = 2√14

x + 8 = -2√14

Solving for x

x = 2√14 - 8 or x = -2√14 - 8
