Briefly describe this graph of a Ferris wheel.

From Tony's seat in the classroom, his eyes are 1.0 m above ground. On the wall 4.2 m away, he can see the top of a blackboard t

Semmy [17]

Answer:

15 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a horizontal segment approximately 4 inches long. Label the right endpoint A and the left endpoint C. Label the length of AC 4.2 meters. That is the horizontal distance between the eye and the blackboard.

At the right endpoint, A, draw a vertical segment going up, approximately 1 inch tall. Label the upper point E, for eye. Label segment EA 1 meter since the eye is 1 meter above ground.

At the left endpoint of the horizontal segment, point C, draw a vertical segment going up approximately 2 inches. Label the upper point B for blackboard. Connect points E and B. Draw one more segment. From point E, draw a horizontal segment to the left until it intersects the vertical segment BC. Label the point of intersection D.

The angle of elevation you want is angle BED.

The length of segment BC is 2.1 meters. The length of segment CD is 1 meter. That means that the length of segment BD is 1.1 meters.

To find the measure of angle BED, we can use the opposite leg and the adjacent leg and the inverse tangent function.

BD = 1.1 m

DE = 4.2 m

tan <BED = opp/adj

tan <BED = 1.1/4.2

m<BED = tan^-1 (1.1/4.2)

m<BED = 15

Answer: 15 degrees

Cora is playing a game that involves flipping three coins at once. Let the random variable HHH be the number of coins that land

arlik [135]

Answer:

0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

P(H=0) = 0.125

P(H=1) = 0.375

P(H=2) = 0.375

P(H=3) = 0.125

P(H<3) = P(H=0) + P(H=1) + P(H=2)

P(H<3) = 0.125 + 0.375 + 0.375

P(H<3) = 0.875

On a piece of paper, graph y< x-3. Then determine which answer matches<br> the graph you drew

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The graph is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The inequality of a line to graph is given as:

$y$

In order to graph it, we first make the 'inequality' sign to 'equal to' sign. This gives,

$y=x-3$

Now, we plot this line on a graph. The given line is of the form:

$y=mx+b$ Where, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

So, for the line $y=x-3$ , $m=1,b=-3$

The y-intercept is at (0, -3).

In order to draw the line correctly we find another point. Let the 'y' value be 0.

Now, $0=x-3\\x=3$

So, the point is (3, 0).

Now, we mark these points and draw a line passing through these two points.

Now, consider the line inequality $y$ . The 'y' value is less than $x-3$ . So, the solution region will be region below the line and excluding all the points on the line. So, we draw a broken line and shade the region below it.
