A surveyor wants to find the height of a building. at a point 109.0 ft from the base of the building he sights to the top of the

building and finds the distance to be 194.0 ft. how high is the building​ (to the nearest​ tenth)?

Draw an illustration
We could draw an illustration of the problem by drawing a right triangle.
109 ft will be the base of the triangle, 194 ft will be the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the height of the building will be the height of the triangle.
See image attached.

Solve the problem with phytagorean theorem
For an instance, h represents the height of the building. We could find the value of h by using pythagorean theorem
a² + b² = c²
a and b act as the base and the height, c acts as the hypotenuse

in this case, we could write it as below
h² + 109² = 194²

Solve the equation
h² + 109² = 194²
h² = 194² - 109²
h² = 37,636 - 11,881
h² = 25,755
h = √25,755
h = 160.4836
To the nearest tenth
h = 160.5

The building is 160.5 ft high

Answer:

Hence the function which has the smallest minimum is: h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given function f(x) as:

  • f(x) = −4 sin(x − 0.5) + 11

We know that the minimum value attained by the sine function is -1 and the maximum value attained by sine function is 1.

so the function f(x) receives the minimum value when sine function attains the maximum value since the term of sine function is subtracted.

Hence, the minimum value of f(x) is: 11-4=7 ( when sine function is equal to 1)

  • Also we are given a table of values for function h(x) as:

x    y

−2   14

−1   9

 0   6

  1   5

 2   6

 3   9

 4   14

Hence, the minimum value attained by h(x) is 5. ( when x=1)

  • Also we are given function g(x) ; a quadratic function passing through (2,7),(3,6) and (4,7)

so, the equation will be:

g(x)=ax^2+bx+cHence on putting these coordinates we will get:

a=1,b=3 and c=7.

Hence the function g(x) is given as:

g(x)=x^2-6x+15

So,the minimum value attained by g(x) could be seen from the graph is at the point (3,6).

Hence, the minimum value attained by g(x) is 6.

Hence the function which has the smallest minimum is h(x)
