Answer: 128.67 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.  

Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side  

Where α is the angle of depression from the top of Nisha's window to the bottom of the sculpture ,the opposite side is the height Nisha's window from the ground (60), and the adjacent side is the distance between the building and the sculpture (x).

Replacing with the values given:  

Tan 25 = 60/x

Solving for x  

x =60 / tan 25

x = 128.67 feet.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Values of x in the equation 10x^2-64=36+6x^2
NISA [10]
10x^2-6x^2 = 4x^2
-64-36 = 100
4x^2 -100 = 0
(2x -10)(2x+10)
X = 2/10 and x = - 2/10

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST, PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! MY LIFE DEPENDS ON THIS!!!
ahrayia [7]

h(x) = 3 * (2)^x

Section A is from x = 1 to x = 2

h(1) = 3 * (2)^1 = 3 * 2 = 6

h(2) = 3 * (2)^2 = 3 * 4 = 12

so

the average rate of change  = (12 - 6)/(2 - 1) = 6


Section B is from x = 3 to x = 4

h(3) = 3 * (2)^3 = 3 * 8 = 24

h(4) = 3 * (2)^4 = 3 * 16 = 48

so

the average rate of change  = (48 - 24)/(4 - 3) = 24


Part B: How many times greater is the average rate of change of Section B than Section A? Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other. (6 points)

the average rate of change of section B is 24 and the average rate of change of section A is 6

So 24/6 = 4

The average rate of change of Section B is 4 times greater than the average rate of change of Section A

It's exponential function, not a linear function; so the rate of change is increasing.
