Answer: 3.82 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the shown figure, we can imagine the scene as a <u>right triangle</u>, where the tower is located at the right angle, and the fireman and the forest fire located at each of the other two vertices.

So, since we are dealing with a right triangle we can use the Pithagorean Theorem, in order to find the distance from the fireman to the fire d, which is also the hypotenuse.

d^{2}= (2.1 miles)^{2} +(3.2 miles)^{2}

d=\sqrt{(2.1 miles)^{2} +(3.2 miles)^{2}}

Finally:

d=3.82 miles

Which function has a range of<br><br> f(x)≥7
amid [387]

Answer:

While it's true that quadratic functions have no domain restrictions, the range is restricted because x2 ≥ 0. The correct answer is: The domain is all real numbers and the range is all real numbers f(x) such that f(x) ≥ 7.

SCORPION-xisa [38]
It is C, because the x values between the first dot and the second is 4. So you multiply the slope 4 times on the y value. The y value changes from -2 to -5, so -2 + 4*-3/4 should be equal to -5
