To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
 1- You have that the length of the wire is 7 meters and the <span>angle of depression is 47 degrees. Therefore, you have:
 Cos</span>α=adjacent/hypotenuse
 α=47°
 adjacent=x
 hypotenuse=7
 2- When you substitute the values above, you obtain:
 Cod(47°)=x/7
 3-Solve for x as following:
 x=7[Cos(47°)]
 x=4.8
 The answer is: 4.8 meters

Elanso [62]

Replace the x in 7x by (3x + 1):-

(f o g)(x) = 7 * (3x + 1)

= 21x + 7   which is choice D.

The profit function of a manufacturer, in dollars, when x units of a certain commodity are produced and sold is given by
Annette [7]

Answer:

Derivative: P’(x) = 200 - 2x

If P’(x) = 0 , x = 100

Therefore P’ is positive and P increases until x = 100

So the maximum units to maximize profits is 100 units

And for 100 units the profit in dollar is:

20000 - 10000 = 10000

10000 dollars

Answer:

To do this, subtract 6 from both sides. − 3_x_ + 6 − 6 > 12 − 6. −3_x_ > 6. Now divide both sides of the inequality by −3. Since you're dividing by a negative number, you need to flip the inequality sign.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate averages you add up all the items and divide by the total number of items there is.In this problem were 2 items so you divide it by 2

Add the two numbers

40+60=100

now just divide by 2 because there was 2 drives giving you 50 mph

Hope this helps!
