The concept that is useful in order to answer this item is the concept of ratio and proportion. Let x be the height of the rock from the ground. We use the equation below to answer.
                                    5.5 ft / 18 ft = x ft / 209.5 ft
The value of x from the equation is 64 ft. Thus, they will be needing approximately 64 ft of rope.

Which statement best describes how to determine whether f(x) = 9 – 4x2 is an odd function?
Elza [17]

For this case we have the following definitions:


A function is even if, for each x in the domain of f, f (- x) = f (x). The even functions have reflective symmetry through the y-axis.


A function is odd if, for each x in the domain of f, f (- x) = - f (x). The odd functions have rotational symmetry of 180º with respect to the origin.


We then have the following function:

f (x) = 9 - 4x ^ 2


Applying the definitions we have:

f (-x) = 9 - 4 (-x) ^ 2\\f (-x) = 9 - 4 (x) ^ 2\\f (-x) = f (x)


Answer:

The function is not odd because it is fulfilled:

f (-x) = f (x)

Therefore, the function is even.

15 Points!!!!!!!!! Mike attends basketball practice sessions every week. The coach assesses his progress at the end of each sess
Naily [24]

Answer:

In the case of Mike's free throws, the Domain that describes this relationship can be either B or D.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of a relationship that represents a 'constant' increase or decrease, we know that there will be an independent and dependent variable.  The independent variable is our 'x' value and the dependent variable is our 'y' value.  In this case, they tell us that the number of free throws Mike misses is dependent on the number of practices sessions he has attended.  Therefor, 'x' would represent the number of practices and 'y' would represent the number of missed free throws. At the start, before practices or an 'x' value of 0, Mike, misses 6 free throws.  He continues to decrease his missed throws by for each practice, until the sixth practice where he misses none.  So, the 'x' values would be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.  This can be shown by letter 'B', which includes all numbers, or letter 'D', which represents all numbers between, and including 0 and 6.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!
Oksanka [162]

The answer is Option B (x + 6)(x^2 + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Group the given cubic polynomial into two sections.  

So  polynomial can be  grouped as

(x^3 + 6x^2) + (8x + 48)

Step 2:Find what's the common in each section.

In section (x^3 + 6x^2)  the come term is x^2

In section (8x + 48)  the come term is 8

Step 3:Factor the commonalities out of the two terms.

Factoring out x^2 from the first section  (x^3 + 6x^2), we get  x^2(x + 6)

Factoring out 8 from the second section(8x + 48) ,  we will get 8(x + 6).

Step 4: Combine the factors together for terms contains the same factor,

Combining we get,\left(x+6\right)\left(x^2+8\right)

\left(x+6\right)\left(x^2+8\right)
