the height of the house is 408ft .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , To estimate the height of a house Katie stood a certain distance from the house and determined that the angle of elevation to the top of the house was 32 degrees. Katie then moved 200 feet closer to the house along a level street and determined the angle of elevation was 42 degrees. We need to find  What is the height of the house . Let's find out:

Let  y is the unknown height of the house, and x is the unknown number of feet she is standing from the house.

Distance of house from point A( initial point ) = x ft

Distance of house from point B( when she traveled 200 ft towards street  = x-200 ft

Now , According to question these scenarios are of right angle triangle as

At point A

⇒ Tan32 =\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}= \frac{y}{x}

⇒ Tan32 = \frac{y}{x}

⇒ y=x(Tan32 )       ..................(1)

Also , At point B

⇒ Tan42 = \frac{y}{x-200}

⇒ y=(x-200)(Tan42)     ..............(2)

Equating both equations:

⇒ (x-200)(Tan42) = x(Tan32)

⇒ x(Tan42-Tan32)=Tan42(200)

⇒ x=\frac{Tan42(200)}{(Tan42-Tan32)}

⇒ x=653ft

Putting  x=653ft in  y=x(Tan32 )  we get:

⇒  y=x(Tan32 )    

⇒  y=653(Tan32 )

⇒  y=408ft

Therefore , the height of the house is 408ft .

Graph the piecewise-defined function.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

We are asked to find which graph represents the graph of the piecewise-defined function g(x) given as:

g(x)= x^2-4   ;  if  x < -1

            1       ;   if  -1≤ x ≤ 1

   and   x^2+4   ; if x>1

i.e. in the region (-∞,-1) we will get a graph of a quadratic function x^2-4.

in the region [-1,1] we will get a straight line y=1.

and the region (1,∞) again we will get a graph of a quadratic function x^2+4.

Also the graph of the function is discontinuous at 1 and -1.

since the limit of the function at x=-1 and at x=1 does not exist.

As at x=-1.

Left hand limit= -3   (x^2-4; at x=-1 gives -3)

and right hand limit =1.

Whereas at x=1.

left hand limit=1

and right hand limit=5    ( x^2+4=1+4 )
