Answer:

The height from the top of the flag pole to the top of the shadow = 47 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the flag pole = 25 ft

Length of the shadow cast by the flag pole = 40 ft

To find the approximate height from the top of the flag pole to the top of the shadow.

Solution:

On drawing the flagpole and the shadow, we get a right triangle of which the legs are given.

$Leg 1 =25\ ft$

$Leg 2 = 40\ ft$

We need to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Applying Pythagorean theorem.

$Hypotenuse^2=Leg1^2+Leg2^2$

$Hypotenuse^2=25^2+40^2$

$Hypotenuse^2=625+1600$

$Hypotenuse^2=2225$

Taking square root both sides :

$\sqrt{Hypotenuse^2}=\sqrt{2225}$

$Hypotenuse=47.1\approx 47$

Thus, the height from the top of the flag pole to the top of the shadow = 47 feet.

Please Help! Are F(x) and G(x) inverse functions across the domain [3,+∞)?

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

For functions to be inverse, it must be true that f( g(x) ) = x and g( f(x) ) = x.

But for F( G(x) ), we have √( G(x) - 3 ) + 8

= √( (x+8)² - 3 - 3 ) + 8

= √( (x+8)² - 6 ) + 8

This -6 part should be cancelled out for functions to work out but we cannot do that, therefore F(x) and G(x) are not inverse.

What is the equation when y=5x+4 is reflected over the x-axis, y-axis & y=x?

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

A) $y=-5x-4$

B) $y=-5x+4$

C) $y=\frac{x-4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$y=5x+4$

Let's write this in function notation. Thus:

$y=f(x)=5x+4$

A)

To flip a function over the x-axis, multiply the function by -1. Thus:

$f(x)=5x+4\\-(f(x))=-(5x+4)$

Simplify:

$-f(x)=-5x-4$

B) To flip a function over the y-axis, change the variable x to -x. Thus:

$f(x)=5x+4\\f(-x)=5(-x)+4$

Simplify:

$f(-x)=-5x+4$

C) A reflection over the line y=x is synonymous with finding the inverse of the function.

To find the inverse, switch x and f(x) and solve for f(x):

$f(x)=5x+4$

Switch:

$x=5f^{-1}(x)+4$

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$x-4=5f^{-1}(x)$

Divide both sides by 5:

$f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-4}{5}$

And we're done :)

(High points) please solve with explanation

Answer:

The area and the perimeter of the picture are:

<u>Area = 160 cm^2</u>
<u>Perimeter = 67.31 cm</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of that figure, you can find the area how if it was a rectangle and next subtract the area of the triangle in the upper part. The area of a rectangle could be found by the next formula:

Area of a rectangle = base * height

As you can see in the picture, the base is 16 cm and the height is 12 cm, then we replace in the formula:

Area of a rectangle = 16 cm * 12 cm
Area of a rectangle = 192 cm^2

Now, we calculate the area of the triangle to subtract to the area we found and obtain the real area, the formula to obtain the area of a triangle is:

Area of a triangle = (base * height) / 2

The height of the triangle is 8 cm, and the base is 8 cm too, because you subtract to the base of the rectangle (16 cm) the measurements in the upper part (16 - 4 - 4 = 8), Now, we replace in the formula:

Area of a triangle = (8 cm * 8 cm) / 2
Area of a triangle = (64 cm^2) / 2
Area of a triangle = 32 cm^2

We subtract to the found area:

Area of the picture = 192 cm^2 - 32 cm^2
<u>Area of the picture = 160 cm^2</u>

To find the perimeter, you must add all the sides of the picture, but, as you can see, there is a side that doesn't have the measurent, this is the hypotenuse of the triangle used before, but how we know the other sides, we can use Pythagorean theorem:

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

Where:

a = Opposite leg (8 cm)
b = Adjacent leg (8 cm)

So, we replace in the theorem:

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

$(8 cm)^{2}+(8cm)^{2}=c^{2}$ (and we clear c)
$\sqrt{(8 cm)^{2}+(8cm)^{2}} =c$
$\sqrt{64 cm^{2}+64cm^{2}} =c$
$\sqrt{128cm^{2}} =c$
c = 11.3137085 cm
c ≅ 11.31 cm

At last, we add all the sides of the picture begining by the base and going by the left side:

Perimeter of the picture = 16 cm + 12 cm + 4 cm + 11.31 cm + 8 cm + 4 cm + 12 cm
<u>Perimeter of the picture = 67.31 cm approximately</u>.
