The angle of elevation to the top of a very tall building is found to be 13° from the ground at a distance of 1 mi from the base

of the building. Using this information, find the height h of the building. (Round your answer to the nearest foot.)

Tan(Θ)=(h/distance from base)
Θ=13 degrees, 1mile=5280 ft
tan(13)=(h/5280 ft)
5280tan(13)=h
h=1218.984049
h=1219 ft

Write the equation of the line given points (-4,6) and (-8,10)

Advocard [28]

Answer:

the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is: $y=-x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

First start by finding the slope of the segment that joins those two points using the general formula for the slope of the segments between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ on the plane:

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Then for our case, calling (-4, 6) = $(x_1,y_1)$ and (-8, 10) = $(x_2,y_2)$ , we have:

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{10-6}{-8-(-4)}\\Slope=\frac{4}{-8+4}\\Slope=\frac{4}{-4}\\Slope= -1$

Now, knowing this, we can find the equation of the line by using the "point-slope" form of a line [of slope "m" and going through the point $(x_0,y_0)$ that tells us:

$y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$

We will be then using the found slope (-1) and for example one of the given points: (-4 , 6), thus:

$y-y_0=m(x-x_0)\\y-6=-1(x-(-4))\\y-6=-1(x+4)\\y-6=-x-4\\y=-x-4+6\\y=-x+2$

F Can anyone explain how too find the inverse of the function of this problem? f(x)= (x + 2)3.

Firlakuza [10]

The inverse function is f^-1 (x)= -2+(x/3) dont add the parenethese though, i used the parenethese to show that its x over 3. hope that helped! :D
