Answer:

550ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple napkin math, so you know what both shadows are you need to find how tall the High Roller is we will use X for this.

\frac{242ft}{6'3"}  x \frac{x}{2'9"}

Im not 100% I set it up right but essentially 242 divided by 2'9" and that equals 88

Take 88 and multiply that by 6'3" and you get your Height for the High Roller

What I did their was I scaled the humans height to that of the High Roller dividing it gives you a number you can use to scale the height of that human to how it should scale to the High Roller, which is why I took 88 and multiplied it by the human's height.

Hope this helped :)

The graph of f(x) = |x| is transformed to g(x) = |x + 1| – 7. On which interval is the function decreasing?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

g is decreasing for all x less than or equal to -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the function y = |x| looks like a "vee."

g(x) = |x + 1| - 7 moves that graph 1 unit to the <u>left</u><em> </em>(I know, it looks backwards!) and down 7 units. See attached image.

Function g(x) is decreasing for all x \le -1.

C = 106.76 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram, we are given the diameter (d), which is 34 cm.  Using the formula you are given, we know circumference is 3.14 × d

C = 3.14 × d

C = 3.14 × (34)

C = 106.76 cm

The circumference is around 106.76 cm
