The surveyor and mountain form a right angle triangle. 
The base of this triangle is 6 miles and the angle between its hypotenuse and base is 15°
Given that we need to find the perpendicular height, we can apply:
tan∅ = perpendicular/base
p = 6 x tan(15)
= 1.61 miles

You can draw a right triangle with the informatio.

The vertical change in elevation (unknown) is the opposed leg to the angle 15°

The distance from the surveyor to the point vertically below the point on the mountain is the adjacent leg = 6 miles.

Then tan(15°) = x / 6 => x = 6tan(15) = 1.61 miles

Answer: 1.61 miles

Let g(x) be the reflection of f(x) in the x-axis. What is the function rule for g(x)? Let g(x) be the reflection of f(x) = 3x +
goblinko [34]
Reflection rule in the x-axis:
g(x) = - f(x)

f(x) = 3x+12
g(x) = - f(x) = -3x-12

The correct choice is option (C)

Answer:

slope = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 1)

m = \frac{1-0}{0+1} = 1

The height of the plant is given by the equation h = 0.5d + 4. Rewrite this as a function rule where f(x) is the height, in cent
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Step-by-step explanation:

h = 0.5d + 4

A function rule tells you how to convert an input value (x) into an output value (y).

Your function rule is

ƒ(x) = 0.5x + 4

An easy way to represent your function is to make a graph.

The easiest way to make a graph is to make a table containing some inputs and their corresponding outputs.  

Here's a typical table.

\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{x}  &\textbf{y} \\0 & 4 \\2 & 5 \\4 & 6 \\6 & 7\\6 & 8 \\\end{array}

The graph is like the one below.
