The altitude of the plane is 8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
In the right triangle ABC
tan(72°)=h/x
h=xtan(72°) -----> equation A
In the right triangle ABD
tan(55°)=h/(x+3)
h=(x+3)tan(55°) -----> equation B
equate equation A and equation B and solve for x
xtan(72°)=(x+3)tan(55°)
xtan(72°)-xtan(55°)=3tan(55°)
x[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]=3tan(55°)
x=3tan(55°)/[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]
Find the value of h
h=xtan(72°)
h=[3tan(55°)*tan(72°)]/[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]
h=8 miles

The table below shows some inputs and outputs of the invertible function f with domain all real numbers.
Ratling [72]

Answer:

{f}^{ - 1} (f(93)) = 93

f(f(7)) =  - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

A function and its inverse has the following properties

{f}^{ - 1} (f(x)) = x

This implies that;

{f}^{ - 1} (f(93)) = 93

From the table,

f(7) =  - 6

This means that:

f(f(7)) = f( - 6)

f(f(7)) =  - 15

Note that: f(7) means the value of f(x) when x=7.

From the table f(x)=-6 when x=7.

That is why f(7)=-6.
