Answer:

D. 914 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the distance that a person can see on a clear day from the upper observation platform of the Eiffel tower in Paris. We are then required to estimate the height of the upper observation platform using the formula;

d=\frac{5}{6}\sqrt{h}

Where d is the distance and h the height of the upper observation platform. The first step would be to solve for h, that is make h the subject of the formula in the above equation;

We multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/6 which is 6/5;

\sqrt{h}=\frac{6}{5}d

The next step is to eliminate the square root on the Left Hand Side of the equation by squaring both sides;

h=1.44d^{2}

Given d is 25.2, h becomes;

h=1.44*25.2^{2}\\h=914.4576

To the nearest whole number, h becomes 914

Match each function with the corresponding function formula when h(x)=5-3x and g(x)=-3+5
Grace [21]

Answer:

k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x) ⇒ (1)

k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x) ⇒ (3)

k(x) = (h - g)(x) ⇒ (2)

k(x) = (g + h)(x) ⇒ (4)

k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x) ⇒ (5)

k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x) ⇒ (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

* To solve this problem we will substitute h(x) and g(x) in k(x) in the

  right column to find the corresponding function formula in the

  left column

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

- Lets start with the right column

# k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ 3g(x) = 3[-3^x + 5] = [3 × -3^x + 3 × 5]

- Lets simplify 3 × -3^x

 take the negative out -(3 × 3^x), and use the rule a^n × a^m = a^(n+m)

∴ -3(3 × 3^x) = -(3^x+1)

∴ 3g(x) = -3^x+1 + 15

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ 5h(x) = 5[5 - 3x] = [5 × 5 - 5 × 3x] = 25 - 15x

- Now substitute 3g(x) and 5h(x) in k(x)

∵ k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -3^x+1 + 15 + 25 - 15x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 40 - 3^x+1 - 15x

∴ k(x) = 40 - 3^x+1 - 15x ⇒ k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

* k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x) ⇒ (1)

# k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

∵ 5h(x) = 25 - 15x

∵ 3g(x) = -3^x+1 + 15

∵ k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 25 - 15x - (-3^x+1 + 15) = 25 -15x + 3^x+1 - 15 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 10 + 3^x+1 - 15x

∴ k(x) = 10 + 3^x+1 - 15x ⇒ k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

* k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x) ⇒ (3)

# k(x) = (h - g)(x)

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ k(x) = (h - g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 5 - 3x - (-3^x + 5) = 5 - 3x + 3^x - 5 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 3^x - 3x

∴ k(x)= 3^x - 3x ⇒ k(x) = (h - g)(x)

* k(x) = (h - g)(x) ⇒ (2)

# k(x) = (g + h)(x)

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ k(x) = (g + h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -3^x + 5 + 5 - 3x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 10 - 3^x - 3x

∴ k(x)= 10 - 3^x - 3x ⇒ k(x) = (g + h)(x)

* k(x) = (g + h)(x) ⇒ (4)

# k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ 5g(x) = 5[-3^x + 5] = [5 × -3^x + 5 × 5] = 5(-3^x) + 25

∴ 5g(x) = -5(3^x) + 25

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ 3h(x) = 3[5 - 3x] = [3 × 5 - 3 × 3x] = 15 - 9x

- Now substitute 5g(x) and 3h(x) in k(x)

∵ k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -5(3^x) + 25 + 15 - 9x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 40 - 5(3^x) - 9x

∴ k(x) = 40 - 5(3^x) - 9x ⇒ k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

* k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x) ⇒ (5)

# k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

∵ 3h(x) = 15 - 9x

∵ 5g(x) = -5(3^x) + 25

∵ k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 15 - 9x - [-5(3^x) + 25] = 15 - 9x + 5(3^x) - 25 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 5(3^x) - 9x - 10

∴ k(x) = 5(3^x) - 9x - 10 ⇒ k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

* k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x) ⇒ (6)

Find all values of c such that c/(c - 5) = 4/(c - 4). If you find more than one solution, then list the solutions you find separ
Deffense [45]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\bold{NO\ REAL\ SOLUTIONS}}\\\boxed{x=4-2i,\ x=4+2i}

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain:\\c-4\neq0\ \wedge\ c-5\neq0\Rightarrow c\neq4\ \wedge\ c\neq5\\\\\dfrac{c}{c-5}=\dfrac{4}{c-4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\c(c-4)=4(c-5)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\c^2-4c=4c-20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4c\ \text{from both sides}\\\\c^2-8c=-20\qquad\text{add 20 to both sides}\\\\c^2-8c+20=0\qquad\text{use the quadratic formula}

\text{for}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{if}\ b^2-4ac0,\ \text{then the equation has two solutions}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x^2-8x+20=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-8,\ c=20\\\\b^2-4ac=(-8)^2-4(1)(20)=64-80=-16

\text{In the set of complex numbers:}\\\\i=\sqrt{-1}\\\\\text{therefore}\ \sqrt{b^2-4ac}=\sqrt{-16}=\sqrt{(16)(-1)}=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt{-1}=4i\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-8)\pm4i}{2(1)}=\dfrac{8\pm4i}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}\pm\dfrac{4i}{2}=4\pm2i
