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

Decide, without calculation, if each of the integrals below are positive, negative, or zero. Let D be the region inside the unit
Schach [20]

The integrals over B and T will be positive. Keeping y fixed, xe^x is strictly increasing over D as x increases, so the integrals over x (i.e. the bottom/top left quadrants of D) is negative but the integrals over x>0 are *more* positive.

The integrals over R and L are zero. If we take f(x,y)=xe^x, then f(x,-y)=f(x,y), which is to say f is symmetric across the x-axis. For the same reason, the integral over all of D is also zero.

If you were to plot y versus m using the equation y = (g/k) m yo, how would you calculate the value for k?
Zanzabum

Equation is given as;

y = (g/k) yo

To find the value of “k”, divide both sides of the equation with yo;

y/yo = (g/k)yo/yo

it implies that;

y/yo = (g/k)

Now following steps will obtain the value of “k” as;

ky/yo = g

ky = gyo

<span>k = gy0/y </span>
