A 6 foot shadow is cast by a 10 foot lamp post. What is the angle of elevation of the sun?

Answers

Answer 1

Let that be theta

tanØ=Perpendicular/Base

Here perpendicular is lamp post and base is the shadow

tanØ=10/6tanØ=5/3tanØ=1.67Ø=59°
Answer 2

Answer:

59.0° (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a right triangle (see attachment).

To find the angle of elevation (marked as [tex]x[/tex] on the attached diagram), use the tan trig ratio:

Tan trigonometric ratio

[tex]\sf\tan(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{A}[/tex]

where:

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angleO is the side opposite the angleA is the side adjacent the angle

Given:

[tex]\theta = x[/tex]O = 10A = 6

Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for x:

[tex]\implies \sf\tan(\theta)=\dfrac{10}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf\theta=\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{10}{6}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\implies \theta = \sf 59.03624...^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \theta = \sf 59.0^{\circ}\:(nearest\:tenth)[/tex]

Is √13 + 4 rational or irrational?

Answers

Answer:

irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

what are rational numbers ?

every number that can be expressed as a/b, with a and b being integer numbers, and b different to 0.

the square root of any number that is not a squared rational number is then an irrational number.

I am not sure, if the expression here is

sqrt(13) + 4

or

sqrt(13 + 4), which would then be sqrt(17).

but in both cases we are creating the square root of a not- squared rational number.

neither 13 nor 17 are the result of a multiplication of a rational number with itself.

in fact, 13 and 17 are prime numbers with no other factors than either 1 or themselves.

so, both, sqrt(13) and sqrt(17) are irrational numbers.

adding or subtracting rational numbers to irrational numbers result again in irrational numbers.

We are asked to find out if [tex]\pmb{\sqrt{13} +4}[/tex] is rational or irrational.

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]

Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions (in [tex]\pmb{\cfrac{p}{q}}[/tex] form).

So, can we write [tex]\pmb{\sqrt{13} +4}[/tex] as a fraction? We can write 4 as a fraction, but we cannot write [tex]\pmb{\sqrt{13}}[/tex] as a fraction, because this number has infinitely many digits after the decimal point, and they never repeat; there's no pattern at all!

And even if we add 4, which is a rational number, to [tex]\pmb{\sqrt{13}}[/tex], we'll still get an irrational number.

Thus, [tex]\pmb{\sqrt{13}+4}[/tex] is irrational.

The population of a certain city was 4001 in 1999. It is expected to decrease by about 0.37% per year. Write an exponential decay function, and use it to approximate the population in 2027

An exponential decay function, and use it to approximate the population in 2027 is P(t) = 4001e^-(0.0037)(28) = P(t) = 4001e^-0.1036

Exponential equation

The standard exponential function is expressed as:

At a highschool in a class of 235 students, 90 pass Mathematics, 85 pass English and 78 pass both courses. What’s the probability that a random student passed either Mathematics or English or both? ((Union question)

Answers

Answer:

  41.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of interest is found by dividing the number of students passing either course by the total number of students.

The number passing only one of the courses is the number passing that course, less the number passing both courses. This is shown in the attached 2-way table.

__

The number passing either course will be the sum of the number passing one course (including the number passing both courses), and the number passing only the other course. It can also be found as the sum of the numbers passing either course, less the number passing both courses (since the latter would be counted twice).

Here those passing either (or both) Math or English will be ...

  90 +(85 -78) = 85 +(90 -78) = (90 +85) -78 = 97

So, the probability is ...

  p(passing either M or E) = 97/235 = 0.41277 ≈ 41.3%

Divide every single term of the expression by the GCF (Greatest Common Factor).

So let's divide.

But first. we should work out the GCF.

Both terms have 3x in common, so we divide both terms by 3x:

[tex]\mathrm{6x^3+3x}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{3x(2x^2+1)}[/tex]

To ensure that we've factored correctly, we can always use the distributive property, distribute 3x and see whether or not we end up with [tex]\mathtt{6x^3+3x}[/tex].

So the answer is

[tex]\mathrm{3x(2x^2+1)}[/tex]

Notice I put parentheses around 2x²+1. This indicates that 3x is multiplied times both 2x² and 1.
