Answer:

2.5477 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the image attached to understand my solution.

BC = height of lamppost.

DE = Julia

AD = shadow of Julia

BD = 2 feet.      AD = 5 feet

BA = BD + AD

       = 2 + 5 = 7 feet

In ΔABC

tan 20° = \frac{BC}{BA}  = \frac{BC}{7}

BC = 7 * tan 20°

BC = 2.5477 feet

SO the height of lamppost = 2.5477 feet

The annual salaries of all employees at a financial company are normally distributed with a mean of $34,000 and a standard devia
Alla [95]

Answer:

z=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the The annual salaries of all employees at a financial company are normally distributed with a mean of $34,000 and a standard deviation of $4,000.

To solve our given problem we will use z-score formula.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} where,

z=\text{z-score},

x=\text{Sample score},

\mu=\text{Mean},

\sigma=\text{Standard deviation}

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula we will get,

z=\frac{54,000-34,000}{4,000}

z=\frac{20,000}{4000}

z=5

Therefore, the z-score of a company employee who makes an annual salary of $54,000 is 5.

The quotient of the sum of 2t and 2, twice the cube of s
natali 33 [55]

Answer: \frac{2t+2}{2s^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you did not indicate what you need to do, I assume that you have to write an expression using the sentence given in the problem.

In order to solve this exercise, it is importat to remember the following information:

1. The quotient is the result of a division.

2. The sum is the result of an addition.

3. The word "twice" indicates a multiplicatio by 2.

4. The word "cube" indicates an exponent 3.

Then, keeping on mind the explained above and the data given in the exercise, you know that:

-The sum of 2t and 2 can be expressed as:

2t+2

- Twice the cube of s can be expressed in the following form:

2s^3

Therefore, you can dermine that "the quotient of the sum of  2t and 2 and twice the cube of s" is represented with the following expression:

\frac{2t+2}{2s^3}
