A student is standing 20 feet away from the base of a tree. He looks to the top of a tree at a 50 degree angle of elevation. His

eyes are 5 feet above the ground. Using cos 50 degrees is about 0.64 what is the height of the treetops the nearest foot?

This is the concept of application of trigonometry. The height of the tree will be found as follows;
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
theta=50
opposite=height of the tree=(h+5)
adjacent=distance of the student from the tree
Thus:
tan 50=(h+5)/20
h+5=20tan50
h=5+20tan50
h=5+23.84
h=28.84
Therefore the height of the tree was:
28.84+5
=33.84

Jenna wants to open a salon and must choose a location. At Location A, she will pay $1200 per month and charge $45 per haircut.
anzhelika [568]
Profit=revenue-cost

pA(m,h)=45h-1200m

pB(m,h)=60h-1800m

Profit is the same when pA=pB so

60h-1800m=45h-1200m

15h=600m

h=40m

So 40 haircuts per month at either location results in the same profit of $600 per month.

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess
ANEK [815]

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is 1 grain on square 1 , 2 on square 2, 4 on square 3  and so on. This is a geometric sequence with the nth term = a1r^(n - 1) where a1 = first term , r = common ratio.

So the 20th term  (the number of grains on square 20) would be

 1*2^(20-1)  = 524,288.

Total =   a1 * (r^n - 1) / (r - 1)

=  (2^20 - 1)  / 2-1 =  1.048,575

A bearing, measured at 1.234 inches with a caliper, must be replaced. Since the bearings are sized in 64ths of an inch, find the
Ganezh [65]
We have
1.234 in-----> 1+(0.234) in

we know that
1/64=0.015625
so
0.234/0.015625=14.98-----> 15
15/64-----> 0.234

therefore
1.234 in is equal to -----------> 1 15/64 in

the answer is
1 15/64 in

HELP PLS>>> The vector (3, - 7) ) is rotated by an angle of (3pi)/4 radians and then reflected across the y-axis. If th
horsena [70]

Answer:

a \approx -2.826, b \approx 7.072

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the vector must be transformed into its polar form:

r = \sqrt{3^{2}+ (-7)^{2}}

r \approx 7.616

\theta \approx 2\pi - \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{7}{3} \right)

\theta \approx 1.629\pi

Let assume that vector is rotated counterclockwise. The new angle is:

\theta' = \theta + \frac{3\pi}{4}

\theta' = 2.379\pi

Which is coterminal with \theta'' = 0.379\pi. The reflection across y-axis is:

\theta''' = \pi - \theta''

\theta''' = 0.621\pi

The equivalent vector in rectangular coordinates is:

a = 7.616\cdot \cos 0.621\pi

a \approx -2.826

b = 7.616\cdot \sin 0.621\pi

b \approx 7.072
