Answer:

B. [-1, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 3|x − 1| − 1

When x = 1 g(x) = 3(0) - 1 = -1.

As all negative vales of x will give positive values of |x - 1| then g(x) = -1 is its minimum value. The graph will be shaped like a letter V with the vertex at (1,-1).

Therefore the range is [-1, ∞).

Answer:

10.77 units

Step-by-step explanation:

By imaging an imaginery line at point before 1 units to be 4 units: b = 4 units

Therefore h = 11 - 1 = 10 units

Using Pythagoras theorem:

x² = h² + b² = 10² + 4² = 100 + 16 = 116

x = √116 = 10.77 units

Find Distance (4,6) (-4,-3)

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$\sqrt{145}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula states that the distance between two points $(a,b)$ and $(c,d)$ is $\sqrt{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}$ .

The two points we have are $(4,6)$ and $(-4,-3)$ . Plugging these numbers into the distance formula, we have

$\sqrt{(4-(-4))^2+(6-(-3))^2$ .

Simplifying with order of operations, first using the distributive property, gives

$\sqrt{(4+4)^2+(6+3)^2$ .

Squaring and adding gives

$\sqrt{(4+4)^2+(6+3)^2}=\sqrt{8^2+9^2}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt{64+81}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\boxed{\sqrt{145}},$

which is the answer in simplest form. This also rounds to about 12.04.

The diagram below shows a student using a clinometer to measure the height of a flagpole. When the student stands 40 feet away f

AVprozaik [17]

The correct answer is the flagpole is <span>33 feet high</span>.

Explanation:
Please refer to the attached picture.

We know:
CD = 40 feet
AC = 5 feet
∠BDC = α = 35°

Using trigonometry, we know that the definition of the tangent of an angle is the ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side, therefore:
tan α = BC / CD

Solving for BC:
BC = CD · <span>tan α
= 40 </span>· tan (35)
= 28 feet

In order to find the height of the flagpole, we need to add the distance of the clinometer from the ground:
AB = BC + AC
= 28 + 5
= 33

Hence, the flagpole is 33 feet high.
