DC is 110 miles. On the map, how many centimeters are between the two cities? Round your answer to the tenth.

The ratio of cm to mi is 1/30, and we are looking for x/110. Since 1/30 = x/110, 30x=110.
x = 110/30 = 11/3 = 3.7 cm

Find the missing values for the exponential function represented by the table below. x values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 y values: 24, 40.8,

lakkis [162]

$f(x)=b(a)^x\\\\x=0\to y=24\qquad\text{substitute}\\\\b(a)^0=24\to b=24\\\\x=1\to y=40.8\qquad\text{substitute}\\\\24(a)^1=40.8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 24}\\\\a=1.7\\\\f(x)=24(1.7)^x\\\\\text{check for x = 2}\\\\f(2)=24(1.7)^2=24(2.89)=69.36\qquad\text{CORRECT}\\\\f(3)=24(1.7)^3=24(4.913)=117.912\\\\f(4)=24(1.7)^4=24(8.3521)=200.4504$

Find the length of ladder

makkiz [27]

Answer:

33 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use SOHCAHTOA to determine which trigonometric function to use:

sin(65)=30/x

sin(65)x=30

x=30/sin(65)

x=33.1

So the length of the ladder rounded to the nearest foot is 33 feet
