Answer: The tall cliff is 118.20 feet tall and the short cliff is 70.32 feet tall.

If you draw a picture with 2 cliffs and a river in the middle, you have find 2 right triangles. In each triangle the adjacent side to our known angle is the river of 90 feet. And the unknown side is the opposite leg.

Therefore, we can set up a tangent equation.

From the top of the short cliff to the top of the tall cliff, we can right and solve the following trig equation:

tan(28) = x /90
x = 47.88

From the top of the short cliff to the bottom, we can right and solve the following trip equation.

tan(38) = x/90
x = 70.32

The 70.32 is also the height of the short cliff. And adding the two answers together will give you the height of the tall cliff.

What is the inverse of this function
just olya [345]
G(x) = (25 - x)/5     First lets call g(x) by its other name - y

y = (25 - x)/5         Now switch the x and y

x = (25 - y)/5        Solve for y which is now the inverse - call this g^{-1}(x)

5x = 25 - y
y = 25 - 5x      this is the inverse so g^{-1}(x) = 25 - 5x

Find the 5th term of the expansion of ( 6x + 6y)^11
Elodia [21]

The 5 th term of the given expression is 330(6x)^{7}( 6y)^{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

(6x+6y)^{11}

To find the 5th term of the given expression.

Formula

In a binomial series (a+b)^{n}, the r th term is = nC(r-1) a^{n-r-1} b^{r-1}, where,

nC(r-1) = \frac{n!}{(r-1)!(n-r+1)!}

Now,

Putting, n=11, r = r, a=6x and b=6y we get,

5 th term = 11C4(6x)^{7}( 6y)^{4}

= \frac{11!}{4!7!}(6x)^{7}( 6y)^{4}

= \frac{11X10X9X8X7!}{7!X4X3X2X1}(6x)^{7}( 6y)^{4}

= 330(6x)^{7}( 6y)^{4}

Here is the answer.
