Answer:

Correct answer:  Db = 411 .18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

α = 27°  angle of depression

Dt = 462 ft  distance from the top of lighthouse to the boat

Db = ?   distance from the base of the lighthouse to the boat

Here we have a right triangle with hypotenuse Dt and one leg Db.

By definition

cos α = Db / Dt  ⇒ Db = Dt · cos α

Db = 462 · cos 27° = 462 · 0.89 = 411 .18 ft

Db = 411 .18 ft

God is with you!!!

Describe how to transform the graph of f(x) = x² to obtain
lord [1]

Answer:

The functions given are:

f(x) = x²

g(x) = f(-4x-3) + 1

First, find f(-4x-3):

f(x) = x²

f(-4x-3) = (-4x-3)²

Find g(x):

g(x) = f(-4x-3) + 1

g(x) = (-4x-3)² + 1

g(x) = (-1)² (4x+3)² + 1

g(x) = (4x+3)² + 1

First take

y = (x)²

Compress the graph along x axis by multiplying x with 4

y = (4x)²

Shift the graph left by 0.75 units, by adding 3 to x term.

y = (4x+3)²

Shift the graph up by 1 unit by adding 1 to the total terms.

y = (4x+3)² +1
