Shawna wanted to boat across the river, but did not know how wide it was. She walked along the shore for 90 feet and sighted across the water to the point she wanted to go. The angle that the sight line made with the shoreline was 65°. What was the distance across the river?​

Answers

Answer 1

The distance across the river, given the angle of the line of sight and the

distance along the shoreline is found using trigonometric ratios.

The distance across the river is approximately 193 feet.

Reasons:

The distance along the the shore Shawna walked before sighting across the river = 90 feet

The angle made by the line of sight and the shoreline, θ = 65°

Required:

The distance across the river.

Solution:

Taking the initial location of Shawna to be the closest place to point she wanted to go across the river, we have;

The shortest distance across the river = A perpendicular line

Therefore, the following sides, form a right triangle;

The line of sight.The distance along the shoreline Shawna walked, andThe closest distance across the river.

Where:

The line of sight = The hypotenuse side

The distance she walked = The adjacent side to angle 65° angle

The closest distance across the river = The opposite side to the 65° angle

By trigonometric ratio, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite \, side \, to\ angle}{Adjacent\, side \, to\, angle} = \mathbf{\frac{Distance \ across \ the \ river}{Distance \ along \ the \ shoreline}}[/tex]

Which gives;

Opposite side to angle = tan(θ) × Adjacent side to angle

Therefore;

Distance across the river = tan(65°) × 90 feet ≈ 193.0 feet

The distance across the river is approximately 193 feet

what is factoring: problems involving factors of polynomials

Answers

Answer: Factoring is essentially the reverse of the distributive property. You are basically trying to simplify the polynomial by taking out common factors. You also may try reducing the power (or the highest exponent) of the polynomial with factoring. I would say that factoring is the breaking down of a bigger polynomial into a product of two expressions that are usually multiplied by each other. One specific use of factoring we see a lot is the quadratic formula.

1. Quadratic Factoring --> [tex]x^2+2x-15[/tex] --> we have an [tex]x^2[/tex] but we want there to only be "[tex]x[/tex]"s. Here we need to constant numbers (integers), that multiply together to get [tex]-15[/tex], and add up to [tex]+2[/tex]. (5 and -3)

    - [tex]x^2+2x-15[/tex] ==> [tex]x^2+5x-3x-15[/tex] ==> [tex]x(x+5)-3(x+5)[/tex] ==> [tex](x-3)(x+5)[/tex]

Above: We can see that we factor out [tex]x[/tex] from [tex]x^2+5x[/tex] (This shows that we are aiming to break it down to make it easier to evaluate).

Remember: Factoring does not always mean that the polynomial is in a simpler form. There are many situations where factoring is totally unnecessary and complicates the polynomial even more.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------On a separate note: Distributive Property, if you are unsure or not fully sure on what that means, is when you multiply two expressions together to create one expression. Multiple expressions are combining into one.

For example, factor 6x²+10x as 2x(3x+5).

O y=-3x+1
Oy-x
O y = -5x – 23
O y = 5x + 27

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is none.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is y = -1/5x + 1

To find the equation of the line, start by finding the slope. You can do this by using the slope formula below.

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

m = (2 - -1)/(-5 - 10)

m = 3/-15

m = -1/5

Now that we have the slope, we can use it along with either point in the point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -1/5(x + 5)

y - 2 = -1/5x - 1

y = -1/5x + 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle can only be a triangle if the two shortest sides add up to be greater than the longest side.

For example on the first one, the segments 1 2 and 3 will not make a triangle as 1 + 2 = 3 and if the two smallest sides of a triangle are equal to the longest side it will not be a triangle at all.

So to make this easy, out of the three numbers given: add the two smallest numbers. This number has to be greater than the third number given, and it cannot be equal.

For question three: 3+9 = 12

And 12 is greater than 11, therefore this can make a triangle.

the Following table shows alexandra's investment options over the course of three years. Her initial investment was $1,000 . write one function for each option to describe the value of the investment f(n), in dollars, after n years.

Answers

The pattern in the given series of amount in the account are in the form of

arithmetic and geometric progression.

The function for Option 1 is;  [tex]\underline{ f(n) = 1,100 + (n - 1) \cdot 100}[/tex]The function for Option 2 is; [tex]\underline{f(n) = 1,100 \times 1.1^{(n - 1)}}[/tex]

Reasons:

The given table of values is presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c|}Number of years&1&2&3\\Option 1 (Amount in dollars)&1,100&1,200&1,300\\Option 2 (Amount in dollars)&1,100&1,210&1,331\end{array}\right][/tex]

In Option 1, the amount in dollars for each year has a common difference of d = 100

The first term, a = 1,100

Therefore;

The Option 1 can be represented as an arithmetic progression , A.P. in the

form, tₙ = a + (n - 1)·d as follows;

For the Option 1, we have;

The amount in dollars after n years, [tex]\underline{ f(n) = 1,100 + (n - 1) \cdot 100}[/tex]

For Option 2, it is possible to find;

1,331 ÷ 1,210 = 1,210 ÷ 1,100 = 1.1

Therefore;

The terms in the Option 2 have a common ratio of r = 1.1

The Option 2 is a geometric progression, G.P.

The first term in Option 2 is a = 1,100

Which gives, the nth term, tₙ = a·r⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

Therefor;

The function for the Option 2 is; [tex]\underline{f(n) = 1,100 \times 1.1^{(n - 1)}}[/tex]

A. Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

This line cannot have a slope of zero or undefined because it's a linear negative line. This line is not positive because it's not heading to the right, it's heading to the left which is the negative side, the slope Rise/Run goes up 1 and left 1, which means the slope for this equation is possibly -1x.

Good Day everyone! Kindly give me the formula for finding the original price, discount rate, discount and sale price.


Original price, discount rate, discount and sale price are given but one of them is missing.

Like original price = missing, discount rate = missing, and so on.​

Answers

Explanation:

The relevant relationships are ...

  discount = (discount rate) × (original price)

  (sale price) = (original price) - discount

__

Putting these into one equation gives ...

  (sale price) = (original price) - (discount rate)×(original price)

Combining terms, yields ...

  (sale price) = (original price)×(1 -(discount rate))

This relation can be solved for either of the variables on the right:

  (original price) = (sale price)/(1 -(discount rate))

  (discount rate) = 1 -(sale price)/(original price)

or ...

  (discount rate) = discount/(original price)

Going back to the beginning, you have ...

  discount = (original price) -(sale price)

__

To solve for the missing amount, you can choose the formula for which you have the other amounts. Or, you can start with any of the relations that relate the amounts you have, fill in the given values, and solve for the unknown.

It's not rocket science. You see these calculations almost every time you go to the store.

_____

Additional comments

Here, we have assumed a positive value for discount rate and discount, and that the sale price is less than the original price. This is basically the set of relations that are seen by a retail buyer.

If you are the seller, the relations you typically see are ...

  (cost price) + (markup) = (selling price)

The markup can be expressed as a percentage of either the cost price or the selling price, or it may be based on some other relation (fixed business costs, for example).

And another one is ...

  (markup)/(cost price) = (profit ratio) . . . . often expressed as a percentage

Sometimes the profit is expressed as a fraction of the selling price (business revenue) instead of the cost price.

__

Taxes are added on in the same way that discounts are subtracted:

  (final selling price) = (selling price) + (tax rate)×(selling price)

or

  (final selling price) = (selling price)×(1 +(tax rate))
