Answer:

The horizontal distance between the parking lot and the launch site is 470 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----->  the horizontal distance between the parking lot and the launch site

we know that

The tangent of angle of 12 degrees is equal to divide the altitude of 100 meters by the horizontal distance

so

tan(12°)=100/x

Solve for x

x=100/tan(12°)=470 meters

Consider the function f(x) = x2 + 3x − 7. Find the value of f(x) when x = 3 and select the correct answer below.
victus00 [196]

<em>Answer</em>

= 11

<em>Explanation</em>

f(x) = x² + 3x- 7

To get the value of f(x) when x = 3, we substitute x with 3 in the function f(x).

f(x) = x² + 3x- 7

= 3² + (3×3) -7

= 9 + 9 - 7

= 11

Select the equation of the line parallel to the equation y = -2x - 7 that passes through the point (3, 1).
motikmotik

Formula of the line

y=mx+b.

For parallel line slope m is the same, so m= -2.

y=-2x+b.

We need to find b,using the point (3,1).

1= - 2*3+b

b=7

y = -2x +7

Answer is A. y = -2x +7.
