Answer:

The tree is 45 meters high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Drawing this out will make it much easier.

In the figure, 3 is proportional to 27, and 5 is proportional to the missing side (x).

Insert the figures into an equation and solve:

3/5 *  27/x

Cross multiply:

3(x)= 27(5)

3x=135

135/3=x

x=45

Find (f −1)'(a).<br><br> f(x) = 4 + x2 + tan(πx/2), −1 &lt; x &lt; 1, a = 4
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The  solution  is   (f^{-1})'(a) = \frac{2}{\pi }

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The  function is  f(x) =  4 +  x^2  + tan [\frac{ \pi x}{2} ] ,     -1 <  x  <  1  a =  4

Here we are told find  (f^{-1}) (a)

Let equate

     f(x) =  a

So  

      4 +  x^2  + tan[\frac{\pi x }{2} ] =  4

       x^2  + tan[\frac{\pi x }{2} ]  =  0

For the equation above to be valid x must be equal to 0

  Now when x = 0

       f(0) = 4+0^2 + tan [\frac{ \pi * 0}{2} ]

=>      f(0) =  4

=>  0 =  f^{-1} (4)

Differentiating  f(x)

     f(x)'  =  0 + 2x  + sec^2 (\frac{\pi x}{2} )\cdot \frac{\pi}{2}

Now

    since 0 =  f^{-1} (4)

We have

      f(0)'  =  0 +  \frac{\pi }{2}  sec^2 (0)

       f(0)'  = \frac{\pi }{2}

Now  

        (f^{-1})'(a) =  \frac{1}{(\frac{\pi}{2} )}

        (f^{-1})'(a) = \frac{2}{\pi }

Answer:

If two things have the same shape and size then they are <em>congruent</em> to one another. If they are only the same shape but not size, then they are similar.

Complete the statements for the graph of f(x) = |x|. The domain of the function is . The range of the function is . The graph is
ioda

Answer:

Domain of f(x): All real numbers

Range of f(x):  f(x) \geq0 ---> [0, ∞)

The graph is over the interval (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function absolute value of x that is written: f(x) = | x | assigns only positive values to f(x) at any value of x.

For example, if for f(x) = | x | we make

f(-23) = | -23 | then the absolute value of x "transforms" the number -23 to +23.

Then f(-23) = | -23 | = 23

This means that f(x) will be positive for any value of x.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

Domain of f(x): All real numbers

Range of f(x):  f(x) \geq0 ---> [0, ∞)

The graph is over the interval (0, ∞)
