Answer:

12.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the trigonometric function of Sine

sin θ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse

θ = 42°

Hypotenuse = 19 foot ladder

Opposite side = Distance of the cat from the ground(height of the tree)= unknown

sin 42° = Opposite/19 feet

Opposite = sin 42° × 19

Opposite = 12.713481521 feet

Approximately to the nearest tenth of a foot = 12.7 feet.

Therefore, the cat was 12.7 feet above the ground.

Find the value of k such that lim-->4 (x^2+x-k)/(x-4) exists
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

k=20

Step-by-step explanation:

when x approaches 4, the denominator x-4 approaches 0

if the denominator is 0, it means that this is invalid

if the function is a number over 0 when x=4, it represents a vertical asymptote, which means no limit

so the only way possible to let there be a limit is to let the function be 0/0 when we plug in x=4

so x^2 + x - k = 0 when x = 4

4^2 + 4 - k = 0 ==> 20 - k = 0 ==> k = 20
