Not sure how to solve. Julia uses the shadow of a flagpole to estimate its height. She stands so that the tip of her shadow coin

cides with the tip of the flagpole’s shadow, as shown. Julia is 5 feet tall. The distance from the flagpole to Julia is 28 feet, and the distance from the tip of the shadows to Julia is 7 feet. Calculate the height of the flagpole. a. 13 feet b. 980 feet c. 39 feet d. 25 feet

You are going to have to compare the height and shadow of Julia to the height and shadow of the flagpole.
Julia is 5 feet tall with a shadow of 7 feet.
The flagpole is "x" feet tall with a shadow of 35 feet (to get 35, I added 28 feet and 7 feet.)
So, you do 5/7 = x/35
You cross multiply and get 175 = 7x
Then, divide by 7 and you get 25.
25 feet is the height of the flagpole, so it would be option "D".

If g(x)= square root of 3-5x, find the domain of g'(x).
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

domain: x>3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to derive our function g(x) to get a new function g'(x)

To do this we will have to apply chain rule because we have an inner and outer functions.

Our G(x) = square root(3-5x)

Chain rule formula states that: d/dx(g(f(x)) = g'(f(x))f'(x)

where d/dx(g(f(x)) = g'(x)

g(x) is the outer function which is x^1/2

f(x) is our inner function which is 3-5x

therefore f'(x)= 1/2x^(-1/2) and f'(x) = -5

g'(f(x)) = -1/2(3-5x)^(-1/2)

Applying chain rule then g'(x) = 1/2 (3-5x)^(-/1/2)*(-5)

But the domain is the values of x where the function g'(x) is not defined

In this case it will be 3-5x > 0, because 3-5x is a denominator and anything divide by zero is infinity/undefined

which gives us x >3/5

Complete the table for y=1/2x-3
Readme [11.4K]

Tables are created by substitute a set of input values into the function to create outputs. The required table is as shown below

<em>x | y</em>

<em>0   -3 </em>

<em>1   -2.5</em>

<em>2   -2 </em>

<h3>Tables and values</h3>

Tables are created by substitute a set of input values into the function to create outputs

Using x = 0, 1 and 2 as the input values

Given the function

y = 1/2x - 3

If x = 0

y = 1/2(0) - 3

y = -3

If x = 1

y = 1/2(1) - 3

y = -2.5

If x = 2

y = 1/2(2) - 3

y = -2

Hence the required table is as shown below

x | y

0   -3

1   -2.5

2   -2
