Answer:

The height of the tower is 196 feet .

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the pythagoream theorem

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

As given

A 200 foot wire is attached from the top of a tower to a point on the ground 40 feet from the base of the tower.

As the diagram is given below .

Hypotenuse= AB = 200 feet

Base = CB = 40 feet

Perpendicular = AC

Put all the value in the above

200² = 40² + AC²

40000 = 1600 + AC²

AC² = 40000 - 1600

AC² = 38400

AC = √38400

AC = 196 feet (Approx)

Therefore the height of the tower is 196 feet .

Option (C) is correct .

200^2 = 40^2 + b^2
40000 = 1600 + b^2
38400 = b^2
b = 196 ft (c)

Evaluate the function f(x) = 2x3 - 6x + 1 for f(-2).
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

- 3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2 {x}^{3}  - 6x + 1 \\ plugging \: x =  - 2 \\ f( - 2) = 2( { - 2})^{3}  - 6( - 2)+ 1  \\  = 2 \times ( - 8) + 12 + 1 \\  =  - 16 + 13 \\  =  - 3 \\ f( - 2) =  - 3

How do I simplify this?
ololo11 [35]
Don't get too involved in the 'simplify' part just yet.
It doesn't mean make the problem easier.
It means that when you have the answer, make sure it's in simplest form.
That's why it says "Simplify your answer".
Notice that that's the 2nd instruction.
There's nothing to simplify until you have an answer.

The first thing you have to do here is find the area of a triangle.
Do you remember that formula ? 
I'll bet you do.
The area of a triangle is            (1/2) · (length of the base) · (height)  .

The height and the length of the base are given, right there
in the picture.  Take those, and use them to find the area.

Once you've multiplied the binomials, don't forget about the (1/2).

Finally, you have a trinomial for an answer.
Put the big sweet cherry on top:  Factor it !
I think that's the 'simplify' part.

You may be surprised.
I was when I worked it out just now ... just for you.
