A flagpole is located at the edge of a sheer y = 70-ft cliff at the bank of a river of width x = 40 ft. See the figure below. An observer on the opposite side of the river measures an angle of 9° between her line of sight to the top of the flagpole and her line of sight to the top of the cliff. Find the height of the flagpole.

Answers

I would solve this using tangents.  Let h be height of flagpole.
Set up 2 right triangles, each with a base of 40.
The larger triangle has height of "h+70"
Smaller triangle has height of 70.

Now write the tangent ratios:
[tex]tan A = \frac{h+70}{40} , tan B = \frac{70}{40} [/tex]

Note: A-B = 9
To solve for h we need to use the "Difference Angle" formula for Tangent
[tex]tan (A-B) = \frac{tanA - tanB}{1+tan A tan B}[/tex]
Plug in what we know:
[tex]tan(9) = \frac{ \frac{h+70}{40} - \frac{70}{40}}{1+ (\frac{h+70}{40})(\frac{7}{4})} [/tex]
[tex]tan (9) = \frac{ \frac{h}{40}}{ \frac{7h +650}{160}} = \frac{4h}{7h+650} [/tex]
[tex]h = \frac{650 tan(9)}{4-7 tan(9)}[/tex]
[tex]h = 35.6[/tex]

Eugenia wants to find out how fast she walked along the hiking trail that took her 1.5 h to complete. She counted the number of steps with a pedometer and got 10000 steps. in order to calculate the distance she walked she estimated the length of her stride. she walked 10 steps three times at her usual rate and measured the distance with a measuring tape (the smallest division is 1cm) and got 745cm, 748 cm, 739 cm. Find the length of her stride. What is the length of the hiking trail? What are absolute and relative uncertainties in that length?

Answers

1) length of her stride

- 745/10 = 74.5

- 748/10 = 74.8

-739/10 = 73.9

Average: 74.5 + 74.8 + 73.9]/3 = 74.4 cm

2) length of the hiking trial

74.4 cm/step * 10,000steps = 744,000 cm = 7,440 m = 7.4 km

3) Absolute error

legnth with the smallest step measure: 73.9 * 10,000 = 739,000 cm

length with the largest step measure: 74.8 * 10,000 = 748,000 cm

maximum error 744,000cm - 739,000cm = 5,000 cm

4)  relative error

[absolute error / measure] * 100

[5,000 cm / 744,000 cm] * 100 = 0.67%

During clinical trials of a new drug intended to reduce the risk of heart attack, the following data indicate the occurrence of adverse reactions among 1100 adult male trial members. What is the probability that an adult male using the drug will experience nausea?


A. 2.02%

B. 1.73%

C. 27.59%

D. 2.18%

Answers

Based on the given table above, the correct answer would be option D. 2.18%. So how did we get this result. Looking at the table, the number of adults experiencing nausea is 24 and the total number of trial members is 1100. So given these values, the probability of getting nausea (as a percentage) is (24/1100)*100. (0.0218)*100, so we get 2.18. Which gives the probability of 2.18%. Hope this answer helps.

How far does the first car will drive in the 2 hours head start it gets? Now, at t = 2 hours, both cars are moving. How much faster is the second car than the first car? You can determine this by dividing the head start by the difference in the two speeds. If car 1 has a 20-mile head start, and car two is five mph faster, then it will take 20/5 = 4 hours to catch up.

Answers

let they meet after second car travels for x hours'
let v be the speed  of second car and V be speed of first car.
Then time taken by first car=x+2
V(x+2)=vx (distance covered is same.)
[tex] \frac{v}{V} = \frac{x+2}{x} subtract 1 from both sides \frac{v-V}{V} = \frac{2}{x} v-V= \frac{2V}{x} [/tex]


Divide 456 by 28 and write the answer
A. As a mixed number
B. As a decimal rounded to teo decimal places
C. Rounded to the nearest whole number

(Please look at answers below and tell me if correct or if wrong how to fix it)
...?

Answers

The results of the expression are 8 2/7 ; 16.286 and 16 respectively.

Using the expression given :

456 / 28

Now we divide:

A.)

456 / 28 = 16 remainder 8

Now we have :

8 8/28

= 8 2/7

B.)

As a decimal :

456 / 28

= 16.286

C.)

Rounded to the nearest whole number:

456 / 28

= 16.286

≈ 16

Final answer:

To divide 456 by 28: as a mixed number is 16 2/7, as a decimal rounded to two places is 16.29, and to the nearest whole number is 16.

Explanation:

To divide 456 by 28, we start by performing the division to find the quotient and the remainder. Firstly, 456 divided by 28 equals 16 with a remainder of 8.

Answering the three parts:

A. As a mixed number, we have 16 and 8/28. Simplifying the fraction 8/28 to its lowest terms, we get 2/7. Thus, the mixed number is 16 2/7.B. To express the quotient as a decimal rounded to two decimal places, 456 divided by 28 equals approximately 16.29.C. The quotient, rounded to the nearest whole number, is 16.

The information provided seems to be examples of rounding and significant figures from various arithmetic operations but does not directly relate to the division of 456 by 28, which is our primary focus. Please note that while rounding to the nearest whole number or to two decimal places, it's important to correctly evaluate the quotient that the specific calculation yields.

What is Slope of Line?

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

Answers

So here is how we are going to solve this:
The power of the given expression is 3 and the root is 5. So in writing a fractional exponent, we just have to make 3 as the numerator. So multiply both sides by 3/5 to take the root sign off and the final answer would be x^3/5. 3/5 is the power. Hope this answer helps.

Final answer:

To express[tex]\(\sqrt{x^3}\)[/tex] as a fractional exponent, it is rewritten as[tex]\(x^{\frac{3}{2}}\),[/tex] correlating the square root operation to the power of \[tex](\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]and multiplying by the exponent 3.

Explanation:

To change the radical[tex]\(\sqrt{x^3}\)[/tex]to an algebraic expression with fractional exponents, we can use the property that any root can be expressed as a power with a fractional exponent. The square root of a variable to some power can be represented by raising the variable to the power of half the original exponent.

In this case,[tex]\(\sqrt{x^3}\)[/tex]can be written as [tex]\(x^{\frac{3}{2}}\).[/tex] This is because the square root operation is equivalent to raising to the power of[tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\),[/tex] and when we multiply the exponents [tex]\(3 \times \frac{1}{2}\),[/tex] we get[tex]\(\frac{3}{2}\).[/tex]
