Answer:

9.000000001

Step-by-step explanation:

If the hypotenuse is  15, the ladder, facing the right angle, and the opposite is 12 we need to use SOH to find the angle.

sin of angle is opposite / hypotenuse

sin of angle is 12 / 15

12/15 = 0.8

sin^-1 of 0.8 = 53.13010235

Angle is that

Then we do this again but a different equation

cos of angle is adjacent (x which we are looking for) / hypotenuse

cos of 53.13... is x / 15

(15 x cos of 53.13... )is x

So 15 x cos of 53.13... is 9.000000001 feet away.

Natali [406]

The value of the composite function (f - g)(x) is 5x - 25

<h3>How to determine the function (f - g)(x)?</h3>

The function definitions are given as:

f(x) = 15x + 25

g(x) = 10x + 50

The function (f - g)(x) is calculated using

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

This gives

(f - g)(x) = 15x + 25 - 10x - 50

Evaluate the like terms

(f - g)(x) = 5x - 25

Hence, the value of the composite function (f - g)(x) is 5x - 25

Cynthia was offered two different jobs for the summer. working as a camp counselor, she will earn $15 per hour plus an additional $25 bonus. her earnings after x hours can be represented by the function f(x) = 15x + 25. working as a lifeguard, Cynthia will earn $10 per hour and an additional $50 bonus. her earnings after x hours can be represented by the function g(x) = 10x + 50. the arithmetic operation (f - g)x can be used to determine the difference in the salary Cynthia will earn working as a camp counselor instead of a lifeguard after x hours. what is the function (f - g)x?
