Answer: [B]: -3 .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
" -15r – 8 = 37 " ; Solve for " r " ;
__________________________________________
 → Add "8" to each side of the equation ;
__________________________________________
→ -15r – 8 + 8 = 37 + 8 ;
__________________________________________
to get:
__________________________________________
→ -15r = 45 ;
__________________________________________
→ Divide EACH side of the equation by "-15" ; to isolate the variable, "r", on one side of the equation; and to solve for, "r" ;
___________________________________________
→ -15r / -15 = 45 / -15 ;
___________________________________________
→ r = - 3 ; which is our answer;
________________________________________
→ which is: Answer choice: [B]: "-3" .

A child spots crackers in a cabinet at an angle of elevation of 50. The crackers are 3.5 ft above the child. To the nearest tent

zimovet [89]

the horizontal distance between the child and the crackers is 2.9 ft .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , A child spots crackers in a cabinet at an angle of elevation of 50. The crackers are 3.5 ft above the child. We need to find what is the horizontal distance between the child and the crackers . Let's find out:

According to question , we have a right angle triangle with parameters as :

$Perpendicular =3.5\\Base = ?\\x = 50$ , Where x is angle of elevation !

We know that , $Tanx = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

⇒ $Tanx = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

⇒ $Tan50 = \frac{3.5}{Base}$

⇒ $Base = \frac{3.5}{Tan50}$

⇒ $Base = \frac{3.5}{1.19}$

⇒ $Base =2.9ft$

Therefore , the horizontal distance between the child and the crackers is 2.9 ft .

What is the inverse of f(x)=3x+6 ?

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf \ \ f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-6}{3} \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

we can write

$fof^{-1}(x)=x \ and \ fof^{-1}(x)=f(f^{-1}(x))=3f^{-1}(x)+6 \ so\\3f^{-1}(x)+6=x \ \ subtract \ 6\\3f^{-1}(x)=x-6 \ \ divide \ \ by \ \ 3\\ f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-6}{3}$

hope this helps
