Answer:

The cars are 10702ft apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the plane from the high way = 5150ft

Considering Triangle ABD, we will be using SOHCAHTOA

Tan = Opposite/ Adjacent

Tan 54° = Y/5150

Y = 5150*tan54°

Y = 7088 ft

Considering Triangle ADC, Tan = Opposite/ Adjacent is also applicable

Tan 34° = X/5150

X = 5150*tan 54°

X = 3614ft

The distance between the two cars = (X+Y)

= 7088 + 3614

= 10702ft

Answer:

  f^-1(x) = (x +4)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse function is found by swapping x and y, then solving for y.

  y = 3x -4 . . . . . function y = f(x)

  x = 3y -4 . . . . . inverse relation

  x +4 = 3y . . . . add 4

  (x +4)/3 = y . . . divide by 3. This is the inverse function

  f^-1(x) = (x +4)/3

An amount was shared in the ratio 8:6:9:14:12.The largest share was56.What was the total amount shared?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

196

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the largest share was 56 and the largest ratio is 14, then

56 ÷ 14 = 4 ← value of 1 part of the share, thus

8 parts = 8 × 4 = 32

6 parts = 6 × 4 = 24

9 parts = 9 × 4 = 36

14 parts = 14 × 4 = 56

12 parts = 12 × 4 = 48

Total the amounts

total = 32 + 24 + 36 + 56 + 48 = 196
