The woman is 6 foot tall

<h3>What is proportion?</h3>

Proportion can be defined as the mathematical comparison of two numbers.

These numbers could be numbers, elements, set or people

From the information given, we have that;

  • The globe is 3 feet and casts a shadow of 8ft
  • The woman cast a shadow of 16ft and is x feet tall

So,

if the globe is 3 foot tall and casts a shadow of 8ft

Then the woman is x foot tall to cast a shadow of 16ft

cross multiply

8x = 24

Make 'x' the subject

x = 48/ 8

x = 6 foot

Thus, the woman is 6 foot tall

The point A has co-ordinates (-4,6) and the point B has co-ordinates (7,-2).
Serhud [2]

Answer:

√185 or 13.60 units to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) the length between the points is given by:

L = √ [ (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^]

So here we have:

Length of AB  √ [ (7- - 4)^2 + (-2 - 6)^2]

=  √ (121 + 64)

= √185.

Which graph represents the piece wise- defined function f(x) =​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

<h2>The fourth graph, from left to right, is the correct answer.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given piecewise function is

f(x)=\left \{ {{-x+4 \ ; \ 0\leq x

Notice that the domain of the function specifies that, from zero to three, the function represents a decreasing (because the variable is negative) straight line. When the function is defined from 3 to infinite, the function is a constant of 5.

<em>So, the right graph must shows first a decreasing line, where the initial point is solid and the final point is empty, as the fourth fraph (from left to right), then it must show a horizontal line with an initial point solid.</em>

<em />

Therefore, the fourth graph, from left to right, is the correct answer.

What is the general equation of a cosine function with an amplitude of 3, a period of 4 pi, and a horizontal shift of negative p
liberstina [14]

The cosine function with the given characteristics is:

f(x) = 3*cos(x/2 - pi).

<h3>How to get the cosine function?</h3>

The general cosine function is:

f(x) = A*cos(kx + p)

Where A is the amplitude and p is the phase, then we know that:

A = 3

p = -pi

Then we have:

f(x) = 3*cos(kx - pi)

And the period is equal to 4pi, then we must have that:

k*(x + 4pi) - pi = k*x - pi + 2pi

k = 1/2

Then the function is:

f(x) = 3*cos(x/2 - pi).
