Answer: The Tree is 28 ft tall

How do we know this. To solve this problem we can use proportions.

4 
→ 3.5

x → 24.5

So now our unit number can be found doing 24.5 ÷ 3.5 = 7 So x ÷ 4 must also equall 7. 

We can make equation: x ÷ 4 = 7

Know we can use our knowledge of finding x.

x = 7 × 4
x = 28

The tree is 28 ft tall.

Lets check our answer!

4 
→ 3.5

28 → 24.5

4 * 7 = 28

3.5 * 7 = 24.5

What are the x-coordinates for the maximum points in the function f(x) = 4 cos(2x − π) from x = 0 to x = 2π? (1 point) a x = 3 p
Ratling [72]

x-coordinates for the maximum points in any  function  f(x) by f'(x) =0 would be  x = π/2 and x= 3π/2.

<h3>How to obtain the maximum value of a function?</h3>

To find the maximum of a continuous and twice differentiable function f(x), we can firstly differentiate it with respect to x and equating it to 0 will give us critical points.

we want to find x-coordinates for the maximum points in any  function  f(x) by f'(x) =0

Given f(x)= 4cos(2x -π)

f'(x) = 0\\- 4sin(2x -\pi ) =0\\\\sin (2x -\pi ) =0 \\2x -\pi  = k\pi ...  k in Z

In general  x=(k+1)\pi /2

from x = 0 to x = 2π :

when k =0  then  x = π/2

when k =1  then x= π

when k =2  then x= 3π/2

when k =3  then x=2π

Thus, X-coordinates of maximum points are  x = π/2 and x= 3π/2

2. What is the area of the figure below? (2 point)
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

63 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure appears to be a parallelogram.

area of parallelogram = base * height

Use the 14-m side as the base. Then the height is the perpendicular distance between the two opposite 14-m sides, so the height is 4.5 m.

area = base * height

area = 14 m * 4.5 m

area = 63 m^2

P.S. The choices are given in square meters (m^2), which is a unit of area, not in meter times square root of 2 "m sqrt(2)."
