Answer:

<h2>The wall is approximately 10.75 feet tall.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is about a right triangle formed by the ladder and the house. The given triangle is formed with the wall, that is, is the space between the wall and the ladder. The twenty-five foot refers to the hypothenuse of the right triangle formed, and the wall is the vertical leg.

Therefore, we have to use trigonometric reasons to answer the questions, because we know an angle and the hypothenuses of the triangle. The relations we must use is:

cos(\alpha )=\frac{x}{h}

Replacing given values, we have:

cos(41.5)=\frac{x}{25}

x=25cos(41.5)=25(0.75) \approx 18.75 \ ft

Therefore, the wall is approximately 10.75 feet tall.

So to find this we must use cos(41.5 degrees) so the equation is cos(41.5)=x/25 we times both sides by 25. We also find out what cos 41.5 is in this step. so 0.75x25 = x. Therefore x=18.8. the house is 18.8 feet tall

What are the asymptotes of the graph of f(x) ?
Ad libitum [116K]
When in doubt, graph it.

The 3rd and 4th choices are appropriate.

_____
This is what is known as a "logistic function." It is used to model population growth when there is a resource limit. It starts out exponential, but then slows as it reaches the "carrying capacity" of the environment. The lower asymptote is zero; the upper one is the carrying capacity of the resource--here 15/1 = 15.

F<br> (<br> x<br> )<br> =<br> 3<br> x<br> −<br> 12<br> f(x)= <br> 3x−12<br> ​
Nina [5.8K]

The inverse of the given function 3x - 12 is determined as f⁻¹(x) = x/3 + 4.

<h3>What is inverse of a function?</h3>

An inverse of a function is a function that serves to replace another function.

That is, if f(x) produces y, then putting y into the inverse of f produces the 0ut-put x .

Thus, an inverse function or an anti function is defined as a function, which can reverse into another function.

The inverse of the given function; f(x)= 3x − 12 is calculated as follows;

y = 3x - 12

replace y with x and x with y as shown below;

x = 3y - 12

now, solve for y

x + 12 = 3y

divide both sides of the equation by 3

x/3 + 12/3 = 3y/3

x/3 + 4 = y

f⁻¹(x) = x/3 + 4

Thus, the inverse of the given function 3x - 12 is determined as f⁻¹(x) = x/3 + 4.

Using Newton’s cooling model, what will the temperature of a cup of hot tea be 2 hours after it is poured if its initial tempera
eimsori [14]
Newton's Law of cooling is a differential equation that is simplified by using limits in temperature and time. The simplified equation is:

ln(T-Ts) = ln(T0-Ts) - kt

where 
T is the final temperature 
T0 is the initial temperature
Ts is the temperature of the surroundings
t is the time
k is a constant

Substituting the values:
ln(T-70) = ln(200-70) - (0.6)(2)
T = 109.16°F

The answer is B.
