We have the following:

What we must do is evaluate in each function and check the values

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=(\frac{1}{3})^{-x} \\ f(4)=(\frac{1}{3})^{-4}=81 \\ f(-2)=(\frac{1}{3})^{-2}=9 \\ \text{TRUE} \end{gathered}$

The answer is the option F

Referring to the figure, find the missing length.

vivado [14]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

here;

perpendicular (p)= 3

base (b) = 4

hypotenuse (h) = c= ?

By Pythagorean relationship;

h²=p²+b²

or, h= √(p²+b²)

or, c= √(3²+9²)

or, c= √25

hence, c=5

Two lighthouses are located 75 miles from one another on a north-south line. If a boat is spotted S 40o E from the northern ligh

yuradex [85]

Answer:

The northern lighthouse is approximately $24.4\; \rm mi$ closer to the boat than the southern lighthouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached. Denote the northern lighthouse as $\rm N$ , the southern lighthouse as $\rm S$ , and the boat as $\rm B$ . These three points would form a triangle.

It is given that two of the angles of this triangle measure $40^{\circ}$ (northern lighthouse, $\angle {\rm N}$ ) and $21^{\circ}$ (southern lighthouse $\angle {\rm S}$ ), respectively. The three angles of any triangle add up to $180^{\circ}$ . Therefore, the third angle of this triangle would measure $180^{\circ} - (40^{\circ} + 21^{\circ}) = 119^{\circ}$ (boat $\angle {\rm B}$ .)

It is also given that the length between the two lighthouses (length of $\rm NS$ ) is $75\; \rm mi$ .

By the law of sine, the length of a side in a given triangle would be proportional to the angle opposite to that side. For example, in the triangle in this question, $\angle {\rm B}$ is opposite to side $\rm NS$ , whereas $\angle {\rm S}$ is opposite to side ${\rm NB}$ . Therefore:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{\text{length of NS}}{\sin(\angle {\rm B})} = \frac{\text{length of NB}}{\sin(\angle {\rm S})} \end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the known measurements:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{75\; \rm mi}{\sin(119^{\circ})} = \frac{\text{length of NB}}{\sin(21^{\circ})} \end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange and solve for the length of $\rm NB$ :

$\begin{aligned} & \text{length of NB} \\ =\; & (75\; \rm mi) \times \frac{\sin(21^{\circ})}{\sin(119^{\circ})} \\ \approx\; & 30.73\; \rm mi\end{aligned}$ .

(Round to at least one more decimal places than the values in the choices.)

Likewise, with $\angle {\rm N}$ is opposite to side ${\rm SB}$ , the following would also hold:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{\text{length of NS}}{\sin(\angle {\rm B})} = \frac{\text{length of SB}}{\sin(\angle {\rm N})} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} \frac{75\; \rm mi}{\sin(119^{\circ})} = \frac{\text{length of SB}}{\sin(40^{\circ})} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} & \text{length of SB} \\ =\; & (75\; \rm mi) \times \frac{\sin(40^{\circ})}{\sin(119^{\circ})} \\ \approx\; & 55.12\; \rm mi\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the distance between the northern lighthouse and the boat is approximately $30.73\; \rm mi$ , whereas the distance between the southern lighthouse and the boat is approximately $55.12\; \rm mi$ . Hence the conclusion.
