Answer:

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identity

cos x = $\frac{1}{secx}$ = $\frac{1}{\frac{5}{3} }$ = $\frac{3}{5}$

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos x = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{3b}{20}$

Hence

$\frac{3b}{20}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

15b = 60 ( divide both sides by 15 )

b = 4

Edward is collecting data on the average length of lizards from head to tail for a particular generation. Initially, the average

Zina [86]

Answer:

The general form of a natural logarithmic function is f(x)=a In(x-h) +k. Since the initial average length of the lizards was 20 centimeters, one possible point (h+1,k) through which the function passes is (0,20).

In this case, h= -1 since h +1 = 0 and k = 20.

It follows that x - h = (-1) = x + 1.

So, the function takes the form f(x) = a In(x + 1) +20.

The average length of the lizards after 2 years is 22.197. So f(2) =22.197. We substitute this value into the function

Step-by-step explanation:

f(2) = a In(2 +1) +20

22.197 = a In(3) + 20

$\frac{2.197}{1.099}$ ≈ a

2 ≈ a

So the function that represents the average length of the lizards across this generation is f(x) = 2 In(x+1) +20

Hello!

If Bruce observes that the number of pitches a batter hits varies and is given by the function f(x)=x-11, and the batters get {4, 12, 14, 27, 42}, then Bruce threw {15, 23, 25, 38, 53} pitches. We get this solution set by adding 11 to each element in the set {4, 12, 14, 27, 42}.
Have a nice day
