ANSWER: Approximately 7 FEET
WORK-
This is a simple trigonometric equation. We have the distance from the shadow and the angle measure. All you need to do is find the height. Using the acronym SOH CAH TOA
we can see we need to use the tangent
tan 16.3°= x/24
You find the tangent of 16.3° and then multiply by 24 and you find the height of the umbrella is around 7 feet.

Plz help its so confusing

Answer:

20, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume total number of students registered is n

Last week n/4 people are absent

so people present are n - n/4 = <u>3n/4</u>

Today after return of Jen  1/5 n are absent

so people present are n - n/5 = 4n/5

which is also equal to last week present people + 1 (Jen)

= 3n/4 + 1

= (3n + 4) / 4

so (3n + 4) / 4 = 4n/5

=> 3n + 4 = 4n/5 * 4

=> (3n + 4) * 5 = 16n

=> 15n + 20 = 16n

=> 20 = n

=> n = 20

So total students registered for class is 20

today no of people absent = n/5 = 20/5 = 4

Given that f(x) = −x + 4 and g(x) = −2x − 3, solve for f(g(x)) when x = 2. (1 point)
likoan [24]

Correct option is

Correct option isC

Correct option isC3(2x+1)

Correct option isC3(2x+1)(fog)(x)=f(g(x))=2(3x+2)−1=6x+4−1=6x+3=3(2x+1)
