Answer:

774 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents how far the ship is from the base of the lighthouse.

We use the tangent ratio, which involves opposite over adjacent to find x.

\tan(14 \degree)  =  \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

\tan(14 \degree)  =  \frac{193}{x}

x =  \frac{193}{ \tan(14 \degree) }

x = 774.08

To the nearest whole number, the distance is 774 ft.

Natalie went to the shoe store and bought two pairs of sneakers. One pair was $35.60, and the other was $49.95. If she has $100.
Contact [7]

First you need to add the prices to get 85.55. Then 100 - 85.55 is 14.45.




She will have $14.45 leftover

For which function is f(x) equal to f^1(x) ( answer choices in picture )
Sonja [21]

Answer:

C. f(x)=\frac{x+1}{x-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the inverse of each of the given options.

Option A:

f(x)=\frac{x+6}{x-6}\\y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}

To find f^{-1}(x), replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

x=\frac{y+6}{y-6}

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

x(y-6)=y+6\\xy-6x=y+6\\xy-y=6x+6\\y=\frac{6x+6}{x-1}

The given function y=\frac{6x+6}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}

So, option A is incorrect.

Option B:

f(x)=\frac{x+2}{x-2}\\y=\frac{x+2}{x-2}

To find f^{-1}(x), replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

x=\frac{y+2}{y-2}

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

x(y-2)=y+2\\xy-2x=y+2\\xy-y=2x+2\\y=\frac{2x+2}{x-1}

The given function y=\frac{2x+2}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+2}{x-2}

So, option B is incorrect.

Option C:

f(x)=\frac{x+1}{x-1}\\y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}

To find f^{-1}(x), replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

x=\frac{y+1}{y-1}

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

x(y-1)=y+1\\xy-x=y+1\\xy-y=x+1\\y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}

The given function y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}\ equals\ y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}

So, option C is correct.

Option D:

f(x)=\frac{x+5}{x-5}\\y=\frac{x+5}{x-5}

To find f^{-1}(x), replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

x=\frac{y+5}{y-5}

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

x(y-5)=y+5\\xy-5x=y+5\\xy-y=5x+5\\y=\frac{5x+5}{x-1}

The given function y=\frac{5x+5}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}

So, option D is incorrect.

Therefore, only option C is correct.
