You are walking in the woods when you spot a bald eagle high up in a tree. You measure the angle of elevation to the eagle to be 67 degrees. You then walk directly to the tree and determine that you were standing 150 ft from the tree when you saw the bald eagle. How high up in the tree was the bald eagle?

Answer:

  -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the function, put the value of the argument where the variable is and do the arithmetic.

  f(x) = -x -3x²

  f(1/2) = -(1/2) -3(1/2)² = -1/2 -3(1/4) . . . . . use 1/2 in place of x

  f(1/2) = -2/4 -3/4 = -5/4

The value in simplest form is ...

  f(1/2) = -5/4

Explanation:

Problems 1, 2, and 5 are exponential functions of the form [tex]y = a(b)^x[/tex] where b is the base of the exponent and 'a' is the starting term (when x=0).

If 0 < b < 1, then the exponential function decreases or decays. Perhaps a classic example would be to study how a certain element decays into something else. The exponential curve goes downhill when moving to the right.

If b > 1, then we have exponential growth or increase. Population models could be one example; though keep in mind that there is a carrying capacity at some point. The exponential curve goes uphill when moving to the right.

In problems 1 and 5, we have b = 2 and b = 1.1 respectively. We can see b > 1 leads to exponential growth. I recommend making either a graph or table of values to see what's going on.

Meanwhile, problem 2 has b = 0.8 to represent exponential decay of 20%. It loses 20% of its value each time x increases by 1.

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

Problems 3 and 4 are linear functions of the form y = mx+b

m = slope

b = y intercept

This b value is not to be confused with the previously mentioned b value used with exponential functions. They're two different things. Unfortunately letters tend to get reused.

If m is positive, then the linear function is said to be increasing. The line goes uphill when moving to the right.

On the other hand if m is negative, then we go downhill while moving to the right. This line is decreasing.

Problem 3 has a negative slope, so it is decreasing. Problem 4 has a positive slope which is increasing.

The value of x-y from the given condition is 14.

The ratio is defined as the comparison of two quantities of the same units that indicates how much of one quantity is present in the other quantity.

The given ratio is x:y=5:3.

So, x/y =5/3

3x=5y

To the equation x+y=56, multiply 5 on both side, we get

5x+5y=280

5x+3x=280

8x=280

x=35

Substitute x=35 in equation x+y=56, we get

35+y=56

y=21

Now. x-y is

35-21=14

Therefore, the value of x-y from the given condition is 14.

The measure of angle A rounded to the nearest whole number is 25°.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Given that?

First, we determine the length of side c using the law of cosines.

c = √( a² + b² - 2ab( cosC ) )

We substitute in our values

c = √( 20² + 13² - 2×20×13( cos 139° ) )

c = √( 400 + 169 - 520( cos 139° ) )

c = √( 569 + 392.44898 )

c = √961.44898

c = 31 cm

Next, we find Angle A, using the law of cosines.

A = cos⁻¹[ ( b² + c² - a² ) / 2cb ]

We substitute in our values

A = cos⁻¹[ ( 13² + 31² - 20² ) / ( 2 × 31 × 13 )  ]

A = cos⁻¹[ ( 169 + 961 - 400) / 806]

A = cos⁻¹[ 730 / 806]

A = cos⁻¹[ 0.9057 ]

A = 25°

The measure of angle A rounded to the nearest whole number is 25°.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

The angle of elevation that the instruments have to record to be at the correct height is given as 79°

We have 2x + 70 = 180

We have to find the value of x

2x = 110

x = 55

y/sin x = 225/sin70

This is the use of sine rule

From here we would have

y = 225(sinx/sin70)

Remember x = 55

y =  225(sin55/sin70)

y = 196.1378

tanθ = 1000/y

tan θ = 1000/196.1378

tanθ = 5.098

θ = tan⁻¹5.098

= 78.90°

Hence the conclusion is that the angle of elevation has to be 78.9 degrees for it to be at the correct height.

Answer:

1/9, 3, 27

(A / the first option listed)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are given an expression with an "x" in it, and we are to evaluate possible x values, which means we plug them in as the x in the expression

first,

x = -2

3ˣ → 3⁻²

when we raise something to a negative power, we simply find the positive version of that power, and put a 1 over it:

3²  =  3 · 3 =  9

so, 3⁻² =  [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]  (1/9)

next,

x = 1

3ˣ → 3¹

now, here we have something raised to the power of 1, which is always itself, so  3¹ = 3

   (think of ^to the power of  as how many times we multiply that number, so 3² = 3 · 3, 3¹ = 3)

and finally,

x = 3

3ˣ → 3³

here, we can multiply 3 by itself 3 times:

3 · 3 · 3 = 27

so, 3³ = 27

[important note: when we raise something to a power, we are not multiplying the base number by that number, but this is a common mistake. but the exponent is how many times we are multiplying that number, which is confusing at first}

So, our answers in order are:

1/9, 3, 27 (the first option listed)

The linear correlation coefficient unknown population is denoted by the statistic r and correlation strength is denoted by the parameter p, respectively.

As a result, correlations are generally portrayed by the two integers r and p. A number of +1 denotes a fully linearly positive correlation, while a number of -1 denotes a fully linearly negative connection. The correlation coefficient has a range of -1 to +1. The linear correlation becomes weaker as r approaches closer to zero.

The sample correlation coefficient evaluates the scatter plot points and a linear regression line constructed from those points (r). The correlation coefficient, denoted as r, ranges in value from -1 to 1. A p-value is a measure of statistical significance.

There is a total of 420 Oranges were sold on Friday.

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a mathematical expression that represents a ratio of two numbers. It is written as a ratio of two integers, with the numerator (top number) representing the number of parts being considered and the denominator (bottom number) representing the total number of parts in the whole. The fraction can be written with a slash (/) or a horizontal line.

let the original number of orange be x

total orange sold = 2x/7 + 3x/8 + x/5 = 241x/280

They spoke of a bicycle that is 1-foot long. the revolutions the tire will make when it is ridden one mile is 1681.52 revolutions.

Generally, The circumference of a tire is equal to the diameter times pi

C = d * pi.

Since the spoke of the bicycle is 1 foot long, the diameter of the tire is also 1 foot.

Therefore, the circumference of the tire is 1 * pi = approximately 3.14 feet.

To find out how many revolutions the tire will make when it is ridden one mile, you need to divide the distance traveled (1 mile) by the circumference of the tire.

One mile is equal to 5280 feet, so to find out how many times the tire will revolve, you would divide

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the inverse of an equation by swapping the positions of the "x" and "y" variables. Then, you would need to rearrange the equation to re-isolate the "y" variable.

As such, D.) is the correct option because it is identical to the original equation except that the variables are swapped.

as you already know, to get the inverse of any expression we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solving for "y", let's do so.

[tex]y = 2x^2\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{\boxed{x = 2y^2}}\implies \cfrac{x}{2}=y^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{x}{2}}=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}[/tex]

y(x)  = [tex]\frac{1}{3-x^2}[/tex] is the solution of the given differential equation.

A differential equation is an equation that relates a function and its derivatives; it describes how a quantity changes with respect to another. and its solution is a function that satisfies the equation for all values of the independent variable

y'=2x[tex]y^2[/tex]

where y' is dy/dx

so dy/dx = 2x[tex]y^2[/tex]

=> dy/ [tex]y^2[/tex] =2xdx

integrating on both side we get:

-1/y = [tex]x^2[/tex] +c   --- (i)

The given polynomial function has 1 relative minimum and 1 relative maximum.

The given function is

f(x) = 2x³ - 2x² + 1

derivating the above function,

f'(x) = 6x² - 4x

At slope = 0, f'(x) = 0 (for maximum and minimum values)

⇒ 6x² - 4x = 0

⇒ 2x(3x - 2) = 0

2x = 0 or 3x - 2 = 0

∴ x = 0 or x = 2/3

Then the y-coordinates are calculated by substituting these x values in the given function,

when x = 0;

f(0) = 2(0)³ - 2(0)² + 1 = 1

So, the point is (0, 1)

when x = 2/3;

f(2/3) = 2(2/3)³ - 2(2/3)² + 1 = 19/27

So, the point is (2/3, 19/27)

Since y = 1 is the largest value, the point (0, 1) is the relative maximum for the given function.

So, y = 19/27 is the smallest value, the point (2/3, 19/27) is the relative minimum for the given function.
