May be the vertical distance is 300.
and let horizontal distance be h.
angle of depression (from the balloon) to edge of cliff = 40.5°
so,
tan(40.5)=h/300
h= 300*tan(40.5)
since, tan(45°)=1, tan(40.5°) must be smaller than one as tan(x) is a increasing function.
so 300*tan(40.5°) must be less than 300
therefore the horizontal distance is 256 ft

What are the possible values of x for the following functions? f(x)=2-x/x(x-1)
nevsk [136]

The possible values of x for the following functions are values on real number except 0 and 1

<h3>Domain of a function</h3>

The domain of a function are the values of the independent variable for which it exists.

Given the function below

f(x)=2-x/x(x-1)

The function does not exist at the. point where the denominator is zero. From the function given, the function does not exist when;

x(x -1) = 0

x = 0 and x = 1

Hence the possible values of x for the following functions are values on real number except 0 and 1

Divide<br> 4^2 divided by 4^6 =
alekssr [168]

Answer:

<h2>0.00390625 / 4^{-4} </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

so you are saying do:

4^{2} /4^{6} which is 16 /4096

16/4096=0.00390625

<u>another way you can do this is</u>

4^{2} /4^{6}

just subtract the powers

2-6=-4

so the answer is 4^{-4}

If lim x-&gt; 4 f(x)=5 lim x-&gt; 4 f g(x)=0 and lim x-&gt; 4 f h(x)=-2, then find lim (fg)(x)
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the problem is:

"lim x-> 4 f(x)=5 lim x-> 4 g(x)=0 and lim x-> 4 h(x)=-2, then find lim x->4 (fg)(x)"

lim x->4 (fg)(x)

Since we know the limits of f and g at x=4 exist we can write the limit as:

lim x->4 f(x) lim x->4 g(x) (since fg(x) means f times g of x.)
