A blimp is 1500 meters high in the air and measures the angles of depression to two stadiums to the west of the blimp. If those

measurements are 72.9 degrees and 34.1 degrees how far are the two stadiums to the nearest meter?

Let stadium 1 be the one on the left and stadium 2 the one on the right.

Angle above stadium 1 is 72.9° and the angle above stadium 2 is 34.1° using the angle property of alternate angles(because both the ground and the dotted line are parallel).

For the next part we need to use the trigonometric function of tangent.

As tan x = opposite / adjacent,
Tan 72.9°=1500/ adjacent ( the ground from O to stadium 1)

Therefore the adjacent is 1500/tan 72.9°= 461.46 m( to 5 s.f.)

Same for the next angle,
Tan 34.1°=1500/ adjacent ( the ground from O to stadium 2)

Therefore, the adjacent is 1500/tan 34.1° = 2215.49 m (to 5 s.f.)

Thus, the distance between both stadiums is 2215.49-461.46= 1754.03 m

Correcting the answer to whole number gives you 1754 m which is the option C.

The function h(x) = 12x8 + 49 is an even function. Which transformation of h(x) would result in a function that is neither even
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:  translation 8 units to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

An even function is a function such that:

h(x) = h(-x)

and the function is odd if:

h(-x) = -h(x)

Now, let's talk about transformations:

A) Reflection over the x-axis:

When we have a point (x,y) and we do a reflection over the x-axis, the reflected point will be:

(x, -y).

Then for the case of a function:

y = h(x).

then the reflection will be:

g(x) = - y = -h(x).

And if h(x) is even, -h(x) is also even, so this is not the correct option.

B) Vertical stretch by a factor of 7.

This is written as:

g(x) = 7*h(x).

then:

g(x) = 7*h(x)

g(-x) = 7*h(-x) = 7*h(x) = g(x)

the transformation is even.

C) Translation of 8 units to the right.

We can write this as:

g(x) = h(x - 8).

Then:

g(-x) = h(-x -8) = h(x + 8)

Then g(-x) is not equal to g(x)

and also g(-x) ≠ -g(x)

So in this case the transformation is neither odd or even.

C)  horizontal compression by a factor of One-half.

This transformation is written as:

g(x) = h( (1/2)*x)

And, similar as the case of the vertical compression, in this case the transformation is also even.
