Answer:

h = 3*tan(62) where h is the height

Step-by-step explanation:

You basically have a right triangle. the standing man is the vertical line, the shadow is the horizontal line and the 62 degrees is the angle betweenthe horizontal line and the hypotenuse.

So, relative to the angle we have the adjacent angle and opposite. What uses those? Tangent. tan(x) = opp / adj

tan(62) = h/3

h = 3*tan(62) where h is the height

Find the limit , picture provided

V125BC [204]

Answer:

d. does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

The given limits are;

$\lim_{x \to 4} f(x) =5$ , $\lim_{x \to 4} g(x) =0$ and $\lim_{x \to 4} h(x) =-2$

We want to find

$\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f}{g}(x)= \lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$

By the properties of limits, we have;

$\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f}{g}(x)= \frac{\lim_{x \to 4} f(x)}{\lim_{x \to 4} g(x)}$

This gives us;

$\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f}{g}(x)= \frac{5}{0}$

Division by zero is not possible. Therefore the limit does not exist.
