Answer:

Apparent Increase in Wave Frequency

As the ambulance approaches you, the distance between the source of the waves and the observer decreases. Consequently, the siren sounds more shrill as the pitch of the wailing siren 'sounds' higher than its original value, as sound waves reach you 'more frequently'.

Answer: c/2-4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what I get :

1/2(c-8)

Distributed property

1/2(c) + 1/2(-8)

Do c and -8 as a fraction with denominator 1 solve across

1/2×c/1+1/2×-8/1

Here you can only divide -8by 2

C/2-8/2

To get -4

C/2-4

4^2 + 7^2 = c^2

This is because we know that the hypotenuse (c) is always diagonal to the right triangle, so the legs are 4 and 2 (a and b). There is your equation!

Good luck!
