Emma is playing miniature golf. Her ball is 2 feet to the left of the right-hand wall. The hole is 4 feet to the left of the wal

l. The distance along the wall between her ball and the hole is 18 feet. There is an obstacle between her ball and the hole, so Emma must hit her ball off the right-hand wall to reflect it towards the hole. How far down the wall should she aim?

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>She should aim 6 feet down the wall</u>

Explanation:

The diagram attached sketches the situtation.

Since the angle with which the ball hits the wall is the same with which it bounces, angle β is the same for the two shown triangles.

Then, since both are right triangles, then all the angles are congruent and the triangles are similar. Hence, you can equal the ratios of the sides, to make an equation:

  • x/4 = y/2 ⇒ x = 2y

You have other equation:

  • x+ y = 18

Substitute

  • 2y + y = 18
  • 3y = 18
  • y = 18/3
  • y = 6 ← this is the distance down the wall where the ball should hit

  • x = 2(6) = 12

Then, she should aim 6 feet down the wall.

Derivative of (4e)^x
love history [14]

we are given the expression (4e) ^x and is asked to derive the expression. we distribute first the equations resulting to 4^x e^x = y. using the rule of products,
y = 4^x e^xy' =  4^x ln 4 e^x + 4^x e^x
The final answer is y' =  4^x ln 4 e^x + 4^x e^x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So to graph an inverse of the function given we have to switch the x and y values of the function:

So Ill do some points and the rest of the points the same process is applicable.

So our first point is (-1,1)

So our inverse point would be (1,-1)

The second point is (-2,2)

So our inverse point would be (2,-2)

The third point is (-3,3)

So our inverse point would be (3,-3)

Hope this helps!
