Scarlett is trying to find the height of a dam. She stands 90 meters away from the dam and records the angle of elevation to the

top of the dam to be 26º.
Scarlett's height is 1.65 meters, so the height of the dam is
meters.

Answer:

Height of the dam is 45.45 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached figure, AB is the height of dam NM is Scarlett's height. We have to find the height of the dam. NM = CB = 1.65 m

Using trigonometric equations as:

$tan(26)=\dfrac{AC}{NC}$

$tan(26)=\dfrac{AC}{90}$

$AC=tan(26)\times 90$

AC = 43.8 m

So, the height of the dam is AC + CB = 43.8 m + 1.65 m = 45.45 m

Hence, the height of the dam is 45.45 meter.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

125g

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the mass of the yoghurt by dividing the mass of the fruit and the yoghurt by the sum of the ratio,(2+5), then multiplying that value by 5.

A statistics practitioner in a large university is investigating the factors that affect salary of professors. He wondered if ev

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the linear regression of Y: "Annual salary" as a function of X: "Mean score on teaching evaluation" of a population of university professors. It is desired to study whether student evaluations are related to salaries.

The population equation line is

E(Y)= β₀ + β₁X

Using the information of a n= 100 sample, the following data was calculated:

R²= 0.23

Coefficient Standard Error

Intercept 25675.5 11393

x 5321 2119

The estimated equation is

^Y= 25675.5 + 5321X

Now if the interest is to test if the teaching evaluation affects the proffesor's annual salary, the hypotheses are:

H₀: β = 0

H₁: β ≠ 0

There are two statistic you can use to make this test, a Student's t or an ANOVA F.

Since you have information about the estimation of β you can calculate the two tailed t test using the formula:

$t= \frac{b - \beta }{\frac{Sb}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_{n-2}$

$t= \frac{ 5321 - 0 }{\frac{2119}{\sqrt{100} } }$ = 25.1109

The p-value is two-tailed, and is the probability of getting a value as extreme as the calculated $t_{H_0}$ under the distribution $t_{98}$

p-value < 0.00001

I hope it helps!

Jack was so frustrated with his slow laptop that he threw it out of his second story window. The height, h, of the laptop at tim

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The domain of the function is the interval [0,2.23]

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t ----> the time in seconds

h(t) ----> the height of the laptop in units

we have

$h(t)=-16t^{2}+28t+17$

we know that

When the laptop hits the ground, the value of h(t) is equal to zero

so

For h(t)=0

$-16t^{2}+28t+17=0$

Solve the quadratic equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-16t^{2}+28t+17=0$

so

$a=-16\\b=28\\c=17$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-28(+/-)\sqrt{28^{2}-4(-16)(17)}} {2(-16)}$

$x=\frac{-28(+/-)\sqrt{1,872}} {-32}$

$x=\frac{-28(+/-)12\sqrt{13}} {-32}$

$x_1=\frac{-28(+)12\sqrt{13}} {-32}=-0.477$

$x_1=\frac{28(-)12\sqrt{13}} {32}=-0.477$ ---> is not a solution

$x_2=\frac{-28(-)12\sqrt{13}} {-32}$

$x_2=\frac{28(+)12\sqrt{13}} {32}=2.23\ sec$

therefore

The domain of the function is the interval [0,2.23]

All real numbers greater than or equal to 0 seconds and less than or equal to 2.23 seconds

$0\ sec \leq x \leq 2.23\ sec$
