Answer:

Option D is correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that an architect's electronic blueprint of a building has a scale of 1 inch equals 12 feet.

To find actual distance between the floor on the first floor and the floor on the 15th floor we will multiply blueprint distance by 12.

14.375\text{ inches} \cdot 12\frac{\text{ feet}}{\text{ inch}}

=172.5\text{ feet}

Therefore, actual distance between the floor on the first floor and the floor on the 15th floor is 172.5 feet.

Answer:

Option D. 172.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

An architect's electronic blueprint of a building has a scale of 1 inch = 12 feet.

It is given that the distance between first floor and 15th floor = 14.375 inches.

We will make a set up of equal ratio.

\frac{\text{12 feet}}{\text{1 inches}} = \frac{\text{x feet}}{\text{14.375 inches}}

x = 14.375 × 12

x = 172.5 feet

Option D. The two floors are 172.5 feet apart.

Where are the x-intercepts for f(x) = −4cos(x − pi over 2) from x = 0 to x = 2π?
yKpoI14uk [10]
Recall that to get the x-intercepts, we set the f(x) = y = 0, thus

\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{0}=-4cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2}  \right)\implies 0=cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2}  \right)
\\\\\\
cos^{-1}(0)=cos^{-1}\left[ cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2}  \right) \right]\implies cos^{-1}(0)=x-\cfrac{\pi }{2}
\\\\\\
x-\cfrac{\pi }{2}=
\begin{cases}
\frac{\pi }{2}\\\\
\frac{3\pi }{2}
\end{cases}

\bf -------------------------------\\\\
x-\cfrac{\pi }{2}=\cfrac{\pi }{2}\implies x=\cfrac{\pi }{2}+\cfrac{\pi }{2}\implies x=\cfrac{2\pi }{2}\implies \boxed{x=\pi }\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
x-\cfrac{\pi }{2}=\cfrac{3\pi }{2}\implies x=\cfrac{3\pi }{2}+\cfrac{\pi }{2}\implies x=\cfrac{4\pi }{2}\implies \boxed{x=2\pi }

Marizza181 [45]

Given:

\text{ Dimension = 3}\times5

Sol:

Area of picture is:

\begin{gathered} =\text{ length}\times\text{ Width} \\  \\ =15 \end{gathered}

If the cost $10 per square inch then price of 15 square inch is:

\begin{gathered} =15\times10 \\  \\ =150 \end{gathered}

If the quadruple of dimension that mean:

\begin{gathered} \text{ l ength = 4 length} \\  \\ Width\text{ = 4 width} \end{gathered}

So area is:

\begin{gathered} A=4\text{ length}\times4\text{ Width} \\  \\ A=4(15) \\  \\ A=60 \end{gathered}

So price is:

\begin{gathered} =60\times10 \\  \\ =600 \end{gathered}
