Answer:

107.1075 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can imagine a triangle, where one of the angles is 55 degrees, the adjacent cathetus is 75 yards, and we want to know the opposite cathetus (the height of the center of the display, "h").

The relation between opposite and adjacent cathetus is the tangent, so:

tan(55) = h/75

tan(55) = 1.4281, so:

h/75 = 1.4281

h = 75*1.4281 = 107.1075 yards

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
Alborosie
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one.  If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.

Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2).  The slope is thus
         7.2-17.4           -6
m = ---------------  =  -----------  or   -3/5.
           23-6                 10

Find the equation of the line.  I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b  =>   7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b.  Solving for b,   b = 21.

Now    we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21

Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.

y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches  (answer)

The graph of the piecewise function f(x) is shown what is the domain of f(x)
Rom4ik [11]

The domain of a function is where we have a value for x.

Since that's the case the domain of f(x) = {x e R / 1 ≤ x < 5}

We see that we have a value for x = 1 cuz we have a filled circle, but we don't have a value for x = 5, look at the unfilled circle

So, our x can vary between 1 and 5, but can't be 5.
