Answer:

112.81 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pole and the tower and their shadows form 2 similar triangles so their corresponding sides are in the smae ratio.

Therefore we have the relation:

1.21 / 48.75 = 2.8 / x   where x is the height of the tower.

Cross multiplying:

x = 2.8 * 48.75 / 1.21

= 112.81 m

Which of the following pairs of functions are inverses of each other?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

<em>The answer is (B).</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A). y = f(x) = 6(x - 2) + 3 ⇔ y = 6x - 12 + 3 ⇔ 6x = y + 9 ⇔ x = \frac{y+9}{6}

g(x) = \frac{x+9}{6} is inverse function of f(x) and ≠ \frac{x+2}{6} - 3

<em>B).</em> y = f(x) = \frac{5x}{4} - 3 ⇔ 4y = 5x - 12 ⇔ x = \frac{4y+12}{5}  

g(x) = \frac{4(x + 3)}{5} is inverse of f(x)

MArishka [77]
Given:
μ = 89 ng/ml, population mean
σ = 23 ng/ml, population standard deviation

Random variable, x = 100
To test P(x < 100), calculate the z-score.
 z = (x-μ)/σ = (100 - 89)/23 = 0.4783

From standard tables, obtain
P(x < 100) = 0.6838 = 68.4%

Answer: 68.4%
