Answer: The distance between the girls is 362.8 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have two triangle rectangles that have a cathetus in common, with a length of 160 meters.

The adjacent angle to this cathetus is 40° for Anna, then the opposite cathetus (the distance between Anna and the tower) can be obtained with the relationship:

Tan(A) = opposite cath/adjacent cath.

Tan(40°) = X/160m

Tan(40°)*160m = 134.3 m

Now, we can do the same thing for Veronica, but in this case the angle adjacent to the tower is 55°

So we have:

Tan(55°) = X/160m

Tan(55°)*160m = X = 228.5 m

And we know that the girls are in opposite sides of the tower, so the distance between the girls is equal to the sum of the distance between each girl and the tower, then the distance between the girls is:

Dist = 228.5m + 134.3m = 362.8m

The profitability, P, of a popular restaurant franchise can be modeled by the function P (t) = t4 – 10t3 + 28t2 – 24t, where t i
vekshin1

In this question, the profit of the restaurant after t months is given by a polynomial function. To find when it begins to show a profit, we find the numerical values of the function for t, and it shows a profit when t > 0

Profit after t months:

P(t) = t^4 - 10t^3 + 28t^2 - 24t

0 months:

This is P(0). So

P(0) = 0^4 - 10*0^3 + 28*0^2 - 24*0 = 0

1 month:

This is P(1). So

P(1) = 1^4 - 10*1^3 + 28*1^2 - 24*1 = -5

2 months:

This is P(2). So

P(2) = 2^4 - 10*2^3 + 28*2^2 - 24*2 = 0

3 months:

This is P(3). So

P(3) = 3^4 - 10*3^3 + 28*3^2 - 24*3 = -9

4 months:

This is P(4). So

P(4) = 4^4 - 10*4^3 + 28*4^2 - 24*4 = -32

5 months:

This is P(5). So

P(5) = 5^4 - 10*5^3 + 28*5^2 - 24*5 = -45

6 months:

This is P(6). So

P(6) = 6^4 - 10*6^3 + 28*6^2 - 24*6 = 0

7 months:

This is `P(7). So

P(7) = 7^4 - 10*7^3 + 28*7^2 - 24*7 = 175

After 7 months it shows profit, so it starts showing profit on the 6th month, and thus, the correct answer is given by option D.

Jan had $126. she spent 1/6 of her money on her makeup and 2/3 of her money on shoes. How Much does Jan have left?
Jobisdone [24]

She has 1/6 of her money left, which is $21. 

2/3=4/6, so 4/6 + 1/6=5/6, which means she has 1/6 left.  Divide $126 by 6 and you get $21.

" break even " is when ur expenses = revenue.....there is no profit made when u break even

expenses : 0.35x + 770
revenue (ur income) : 0.55x

so they have to equal to break even...so set them equal to each other and solve for x
0.35x + 770 = 0.55x
770 = 0.55x - 0.35x
770 = 0.2x
770 / 0.2 = x
3850 = x <== they must sell 3850 copies to break even
