A camera on a 5-foot-high tripod is placed in front of a 6-foot-high picture that is mounted 3 feet above the floor.a) express angle theta as a function of the distance x from the camera to the wall.
b) the photographer wants to use a particular lens, for which theta = 36 (pi/5 radians). How far should she place the camera from the wall to be sure the entire picture will show in the photograph?

Answer 1
Answer: This question is a fascinating example.  I mean a fascinating example of
one that you want to jump right in and start cranking out answers, but as
soon as you do that, you run into lots of sneaky things that you'll need
in order to find answers but they're not given in the question.

a).  We think we kind of know what the angle 'theta' is, but we're not sure.
It could be the elevation angle of the camera's optical axis, and if so, then
it depends on where the camera is actually aimed.  Is it the center of the
picture ?  Is it one corner ?  Is it a point somewhere along the top of the
frame ?  We don't know.

a).  On the other hand, 'theta' could be the angle subtended by the whole
subject at the camera's focal plane, or at the front surface of its objective
lens.  We don't know.

b).  Here in b)., it sounds like maybe there's some connection between
'theta' and what kind of lens she uses, so it could be the angle of the
camera's field of view. But then, how much of the picture you can capture
also depends on the dimensions of the film frame or the CCD.  We know
that one radian of field of view is one focal length on the film. But we don't
know the size of the 'film', so maybe the image of the subject can completely
fit on it, and maybe it can't.  We don't know.

But, as I said.  It sure is fascinating.

Find the missing angle.
Round to the nearest whole degree.

Answers

Answer:

θ = 37°

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing angle is θ

cos θ = 4/5

cosθ = 0.8

  • Using a calculator:

cos^(-1)(0.8) = 36.86≈ 37°

so θ = 37°

Which of the inequalities represents the statement, "two times a number x, less 15, is greater than or equal to 4 times the number y"?

Answers

The choices are:

A) 
2x - 15 ≤ 4y 


B) 
2x - 15 ≥ 4y 


C) 
15 - 2x ≤ 4y 


D) 
15 - 2x ≥ 4y

Therefore, the best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the fourth choice "15 - 2x ≥ 4y". I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

we know that

1) The expression "two times a number x, less 15", represent the equation

2x-15

2) The expression "4 times the number y", represent the equation

4y

3) The expression "is greater than or equal to", represent the symbol

\geq

so

4)The complete expression "two times a number x, less 15, is greater than or equal to 4 times the number y", represent the inequality

2x-15\geq 4y

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The solution is the shaded area below the full line

The answer is

2x-15\geq 4y

Ben purchased lunch today at the school cafeteria for $2.75. Before today, Ben owed $9.15 on his lunch account. What is the status of his lunch account after today?

Answers

The status of his lunch account after today will be $11.90

What is mean by Addition?

The process of combining two or more numbers is called the Addition.

Given that;

Ben purchased lunch today at the school cafeteria for $2.75.

And, Before today, Ben owed $9.15 on his lunch account.

Now,

Since, Ben purchased lunch today at the school cafeteria for $2.75.

And, Before today, Ben owed $9.15 on his lunch account.

Hence, The total owed money for lunch = $2.75 + $9.15

                                                              = $11.90

Thus, The status of his lunch account after today will be $11.90.

Round the decimal number to the nearest hundredth 5.6192

Answers

the 1 is the digit in te hundredths place, so you need to look at the digit directly to the right of that, the 9.  When rounding, if the digit to the right pf the place you're rounding is 0-4, the number you're rounding stays the same, and all digits to the right become zeros. If that digit is 5-9, the digit you're rounding goes up to the next number, and all digits to the right become zeros.  So, because the digit to the right of the hundredths place is a 9, that tells you that the 1 has to go up to the next number in counting order, so the number 5.6192 becomes 5.62 when rounded to the hundredths place.
