Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

Using SOH CAH TOA

Tan angle = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 5 = \frac{x}{4629}

x = 4629*Tan5

x = 4629*0.087488

x = 404.98

To the nearest meters, the height is 405 meters.   :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

gogolik [260]
So we solve for each
70% of 100=70
students who didn't buy lunch=100-70=30

some of the 70 left so that the students who bought lunch, are 60% of those who are left
we know that the students who didn't buy lunch didn't change number so therefor
100% of students left-60%=40%= students that didn't buy lunch=30 so
40%=30
20%=15
100%=75
there were 75 students lfet in the cafeteria

Need math help. Thanks in advance.

9. D because it fits the description when it is graphed. 
11. D because it has the correct vertex, which is (1.5, 4.75). 
12. f(x)=-4(x-2)²+16 works with the table and provided graph!
13. 0 isn't a zero for f(x), so B is correct (the zeros are 1/2 and 4). 
14. The width is about 3.831. 
15. The answer is B because the equation for a parabola in this form is: 
      f(x) = (x - r₁)(x - r₂)

Every one of these except for 15 was solved using desmos, a graphing calculator. 

Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP! The table shows the number of cans of soup shipped in different numbers of boxes.
mel-nik [20]
The equation that expresses the relationship between the number of boxes, b and the number or cans, c would be c = 48b. This is because the number or cans shipped would be the dependent variable to the problem as it is dependent on the number or boxes that ship along with. So if one ships 2 boxes then the number of cans that would be shipped would need to match the final output of cans which is 96, and using the equation, c = 49b it does.

c = 48b
96 = 48(2)
96 = 96.

Technically the first option will also be correct but usually the variable in an algebraic expression comes after the coefficient.
