4 0

Answer:

Approximately 485 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first construct a right triangle, using the 500 m length of hill as our hypotenuse. Using the fact that the cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, we see that

\cos{15^\circ}=\frac{x}{500}

where x is the horizontal distance covered. Solving for x, we find this horizontal distance to be

x=500\cos{15^\circ}\approx500(0.97)=485

so our answer is approximately 485 m.

The net of a cube is shown. If the length of each edge of the cube is 10 cm, find the surface area of the cube.
Digiron [165]

Answer:The surface area of the cube is 100 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

So since a cube has six faces and all of its lengths are equal. we could use the equation.

10^2 *6= 100 *6= 600

For f(x) = 3x - 1 and g(x) = x+2, find (f – g)(x).
kobusy [5.1K]
Well, I bet you want your answer right away! So here it is.


<span>Given <span>f (x) = 3x + 2</span> and <span>g(x) = 4 – 5x</span>, find <span>(f + g)(x), (f – g)(x), (f × g)(x)</span>, and <span>(f / g)(x)</span>.</span>

To find the answers, all I have to do is apply the operations (plus, minus, times, and divide) that they tell me to, in the order that they tell me to.

(f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x)

= [3x + 2] + [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 + 4 – 5x

= 3x – 5x + 2 + 4

= –2x + 6

(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)

= [3x + 2] – [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 – 4 + 5x

= 3x + 5x + 2 – 4

= 8x – 2

(f  × g)(x) = [f (x)][g(x)]

= (3x + 2)(4 – 5x)

= 12x + 8 – 15x2 – 10x

= –15x2 + 2x + 8

<span>\left(\small{\dfrac{f}{g}}\right)(x) = \small{\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}}<span><span>(<span><span>​g</span>​<span>​f</span><span>​​</span></span>)</span>(x)=<span><span>​<span>g(x)</span></span>​<span>​<span>f(x)</span></span><span>​​</span></span></span></span><span>= \small{\dfrac{3x+2}{4-5x}}<span>=<span><span>​<span>4−5x</span></span>​<span>​<span>3x+2</span></span><span>​​</span></span></span></span>

My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.

( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6

( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2

( f  × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8

<span>\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \left(\small{\dfrac{\mathit{f}}{\mathit{g}}}\right)(\mathit{x}) = \small{\dfrac{3\mathit{x} + 2}{4 - 5\mathit{x}}} }}<span><span>(<span><span>​g</span>​<span>​f</span><span>​​</span></span>)</span>(x)=<span><span>​<span>4−5x</span></span>​<span>​<span>3x+2</span></span><span>​​


Hope I helped! :) If I did not help that's okay.
