The cubic function is f(x) = x^3
You need to perform three transformations to the cubic function to obtain
f(x) = - (x + 2)^3 - 5.
Those transfformations are:
1) Shift f(x) = x^3, 2 units leftward to obtain f(x) = (x + 2)^3
2) reflect f(x) = (x + 2)^3 across the x-axis to obtain f(x) = - (x + 2)^3
3) shift f(x) = - ( x + 2) ^3, 5 units downward to obtain f(x) = - (x + 2)^3 - 5
It’s using the distributive method. 7 x a is 7A and 7 x 13 is 91, therefor it is 7A+91.
The distance between the tree and the tower is 30√3m.
Justification:
<u>Let the situation be in a right angleABC form as shown in attached figure</u>.
<u>Given the height of the tower is 30m and the angle of depression to the base of the tree measure 30°</u>.
So, In ΔABC
tanθ = p/b
tan30° = 30/BC
1/√3 = 30/BC
BC = 30√3m.
