8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of the square = 3^2/7

Use the law of exponents . If the power is a fraction, that means it is

3^2/7 = 3^2 x 1/7 = 7√9

To find the area you multiply this by itself.

This gives you 1.87...

Identify whether the series summation of 12 open parentheses 3 over 5 close parentheses to the I minus 1 power from 1 to infinit

Finger [1]

∑ from 1 to infinity of 12(3/5)^(i - 1)
Since the common ratio is less than 1, the series is convegent. [i.e. 3/5 < 1]

Sum to infinity of a geometric series is given by a/(1 - r); where a is the first term, and r is the common ratio.

Sum = 12/(1 - 3/5) = 12/(2/5) = 30.

A person is watching a boat from the top of a lighthouse. The boat is approaching the lighthouse directly. When first noticed, t

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Boat traveled 553.24 feet towards the lighthouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached AB is the light house of height 200 feet.

Angle of depression of the boat from the top of a lighthouse = angle of elevation of the lighthouse from the boat = 14°52'

so 1' = $\frac{1}{60}$ degree

so angle of elevation at point C = 14 + $\frac{52}{60}$

So angle of elevation from C = (14 + 0.87) = 14.87°

Similarly, when boat arrives at point D angle of elevation = 45°10' = 45 + $\frac{10}{60}$ = 45.17°

Now we have to calculate the distance CD, traveled by the boat.

In ΔABC

tan14.87 = $\frac{200}{BC}$

0.2655 = $\frac{200}{BC}$

BC = $\frac{200}{0.26552}$

BC = 753.239 feet

Similarly in ΔABD

tan45.17 = $\frac{200}{BD}$

1 = $\frac{200}{BD}$

BD = 200 feet

So distance CD = BC - BD

CD = 753.239 - 200

= 553.24 feet

Therefore, Boat traveled 553.24 feet towards the lighthouse.

A store sells a certain tile for $2 per tile and a pint of paint for $3. A second store sells the same items for $1 per tile and

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

2 x plus 3 y equals 26. X plus 4 y equals 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of tiles, = x

Number of pints of paint, = y

Store 1:

Cost per tile = $2 ; cost per pint = $3 ; total cost = $26

Store 2 :

Cost per tile = $1 ; cost per pint = $4 ; total cost = $18

System of equation:

2x + 3y = 26 - - - (1)

x + 4y = 18 - - - - - (2)
