Answer:

The approximate distance is 15416 miles....

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given:

A satellite is 19,000 miles from the horizon of earth.

The radius is 4,000 miles.

Lets say that BC =x

AO = OB = 4,000 miles

AC = 19,000 miles

The tangent from the external point forms right angle with the radius of the circle.

So in ΔABC

(OC)² = (AC)²+(OA)²

where OC = x+4000

AC = 19,000

OA = 4000

Therefore,

(x+4000)² = (19,000)² +(4,000)²

Take square root at both sides:

√(x+4000)²  = √(19,000)² +(4,000)²

x+4000  =√361000000+16000000

x+4000 = √377000000

x+4000 = 19416.48

x= 19416.48 - 4000

x = 15416.48

Therefore the approximate distance is 15416 miles....

Select each pair of functions that are inverses of each other
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The first two choices only: A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverses are the ones with one relation having point (x,y) and the other relation having point (y,x). This most obvious when looking at points on a table or a list of points.

So the first pair are inverses because per point (x,y) on the first list you have (y,x) on the second list.

Examples:

1st list contains (-5,-9) while second list contains (-9,-5).

1st list contains (3,7) while the second list contains (7,3).

As long as (a,b) is in the first list and (b,a) is in the second or vice versa, then the pair of relations are inverses. So the first choice contains inverses.

Now lets talk about the pair of functions given in function notation.

Let's start with the first.

y=x+7

Extend the first idea more. Just swap x and y and then see after solving for y if what it equals is what g equals then f and g are inverses in the second choice.

x=y+7

Subtract 7 on both sides:

x-7=y

y=x-7

This is what g equals so the second choice is an answer.

The last choice does not contain a pair of inverses. Example: (2,3) is in the first list but (3,2) is not in the second.
