Data:
h (<span>Tower height) = 120 ft
d (</span><span>Distance from the base of the tower to the airplane) = ?
</span>\alpha (<span>Angle formed from observation of the tower to the airplane)=19º

Data: tg 19º </span>≈ 0.34
<span>
Note: </span><span>The angle formed is tangent to the height of the tower and the distance from the base of the tower to the airplane.

</span><span>Formula:
</span>tg \alpha =  \frac{opposite\:leg}{adjacent\:leg}
<span>
Solving:
</span>tg \alpha = \frac{opposite\:leg}{adjacent\:leg}
tg 19^0 = \frac{h}{d}
tg 19^0 = \frac{120}{d}
0.34 =  \frac{120}{d}
0.34*d = 120
0.34d = 120
d =  \frac{120}{0.34}
\boxed{\boed{d \approx 352.9\:ft}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Answer:
<span>Distance from the base of the tower to the airplane is aproximately  352.9 ft</span>

Find f(x) and g(x) so that the function can be described as y = f(g(x)). y = 3/ square root of 3x + 4
Elis [28]
Well, your equation y=3/SQRT(3x+4) should be rationalized, but that's not what you want.

If f(x) = 3/SQRT(x+4) and g(x) = 3x

f(g(x)) then = 3/SQRT(3x+4), but rationalizing this = 3SQRT(3x+4)/(3x+4)

What is the mode of the data set?
strojnjashka [21]

The data set is

20

32, 34, 36

40, 42, 44, 48

55

65

We can see that each value only shows up one time. Therefore there is no mode. To have a mode, we need to have a value show up more than once, and it must be the most frequent value. For example, the set {1,2,3,3,4} has a mode of 3 since it shows up twice, the most of any value in that set. However we don't have that occur for the data set your teacher gave you.

<h3>Final Answer: There is no mode for this data set</h3>
