The answer is 48 feet (D).

Explanation:

To solve this, you must think of the monument and its shadow and Adam and his shadow as a triangle, the person/object being the vertical leg, the shadows being the horizontal leg, and a line connecting them being the hypotenuse.  Also, we can assume that these triangles are similar.  First, we can set the scale to be 40/5 (the two shadows set a scale because the triangles are similar).  Then, we can put x/6 (the actual things are similar, and the scale was established to be building/measurement).  Next, we can set the two fractions equal to each other (40/5 = x/6) and solve.  We can cross multiply to get 5x = 40 * 6.  That goes to  5x = 240.  Finally, we can divide by five on each side to get x = 48 feet (D).

The graph of f(x)=3•2^x -3 is shown below. G(x) is a transformation of f(x). How would you write the equation for the function g
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the appropriate equation, notice the red graph has shifted up about 6 units. This means that 3*2^x-3 which is shifted by -3 will move 6 up. -3+6= 3. This means the function will have +3. Only B and C are options. Now test a point. Notice the red function crosses the y-axis at about 5 or 6 when x=0.

g(x) = 2^x+3\\g(0) = 2^0+3\\g(0)=1+3\\g(0)=4

This function doesn't match.

f(0) = 3*2^0+3\\f(0) = 3*1+3\\f(0)=6

This function matches. Option C is correct.
