First off, we know that the y-interecept is 2, so there is going to be a plus two in the final equation. Now with the two answers input the number 8 to see which will output 6.
6 = 1/12(8)^(2) + 2
6 = 1/12(64) + 2
6 = 64/12 + 2
6 = 16/3 + 6/3
6 does not equal 22/3
6 = 1/16(8)^(2) + 2
6 = 1/12(64) + 2
6 = 64/16 + 2
6 = 4 + 2
6 = 6
This means that y = 1/16 x^2 + 2 is the correct answer. I hope that helps!
Answer:
32.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation forms a right triangle. We are given the distance from the base of the tower (long leg of the triangle) and are asked to find the height (short leg of the triangle).
With this information, we can use the tan ratio, opposite over adjacent, to find the height of the tower.
tan 18 = 
Multiply each side by 100:
(100) tan 18 = x
Simplify and round to the nearest tenth:
32.49 = x
32.5 = x
So, the height of the tower is approximately 32.5 feet
Just sayin' you shouldn't use up all ur points on one question
