Answer:

The height of the telephone pole is 24 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The same rays are falling on the pole and yardstick, so at the same time of day both pole and yardstick have same angle of elevation from the ground.

<em>The height of yard stick is 36 inch and shadow is 15 inch long.</em>

<em>Let the height of pole be "x" , with shadow 10 feet long.</em>

1 feet  = 12 inches

The 2 triangles are similar. Thus,

<em>\frac{x}{36} = \frac{(10)(12)}{15}</em>

<em>x = 288 inches = \frac{288}{12} = 24 feet</em>

Thus, the height of telephone pole is 24 feet.

gladu [14]

Answer:

They are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs are same because <em>x</em>² is always positive, so the absolute value part is redundant.

which of the following answer choices describes all the transformation found in the cubic function f(x)=-(x+2)3-5
Alona [7]
The cubic function is f(x) = x^3

You need to perform three transformations to the cubic function to obtain
f(x) = - (x + 2)^3 - 5.

Those transfformations are:

1) Shift f(x) = x^3,  2 units leftward to obtain f(x) = (x + 2)^3

2) reflect f(x) = (x + 2)^3 across the x-axis to obtain f(x) = - (x + 2)^3

3) shift f(x) = - ( x + 2) ^3, 5 units downward to obtain f(x) = - (x + 2)^3 - 5
