Answer:

72.65m (2dp) is the height of the cliff

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the cliff can be calculated using trigonometry

Since we know the angle of elevation and the adjacent = side of the angle, and we are looking for the opposite side of the angle, which say is h, we will use tan since we are not dealing with the hypotenuse

tan(36) = h/100

100tan(36) = h

h = 72.65m (2dp)

I have attached a diagram as reference

Find f(x) and g(x) so the function can be expressed as y = f(g(x)). y= <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7Bx%5E2%
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

One possible answer is:

f(x) = (2/x) + 3 and g(x) = x².

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

We are to write this equation as y = f(g(x)).  This means we want it to be a composite of functions; in f(x), we take the value of g(x) and use in place of x.

If we let g(x) = x², this means everywhere we see an x in f(x), we will replace it with x².  To make our equation y = 2/x² + 3, working backward we would substitute x for x²; this would give us f(x) = 2/x + 3.

The table below shows the number of invertebrates found in a tide pool. Find the ratio of crabs to the total number of invertebr
Kitty [74]
The ratio is 9:52. Meaning there is 9 crabs in the tide pool compared to all other invertebrates in the tide pool (including crabs). Crabs are also probably higher on the food chain because there is less of them, meaning they require more food then the other invertebrates.
Hope this helps!
