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.

Answer: Choice C

h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

===========================================

Explanation:

When reflecting the function f(x) over the y axis, we replace every x with -x and simplify like so

f(x) = -x^4 - 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x + 5

f(-x) = -(-x)^4 - 2(-x)^3 + 3(-x)^2 - 4(-x) + 5

f(-x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

Note the sign changes that occur for the terms that have odd exponents (the terms -2x^3 and -4x become +2x^3 and +4x); while the even exponent terms keep the same sign.

The reason why we replace every x with -x is because of the examples mentioned below

-----------

Examples:

The point (1,2) moves to (-1,2) after a y axis reflection

Similarly, (-5,7) moves to (5,7) after a y axis reflection.

As you can see, the y coordinate stays the same but the x coordinate flips in sign from negative to positive or vice versa. This is the direct reason for the replacement of every x with -x.

Pls helppp me with this
Annette [7]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

The angle bisector theorem of triangle

From the diagram,

Since ΔAMT is an issoceless triangle,

Then,

Line OA divides Line MT into two equal parts.

Therefore,

Line MO = Line OT.............. Equation 1

From the diagram,

Line MO = 4x-1, Line OT = 3x+3

Substitute into equation 1

4x-1 = 3x+3

Collect like terms

4x-3x = 3+1

x = 4.

Therefore,

OT = 3(4)+3

OT = 12+3

OT = 15
