Answer:

148ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, you'll have to imagine the statue makes a right angle triangle with the base since it has an angle of elevation from the base to the top of the torch.

Assuming the height from the pedestal to the top of the torch is y

The height of the statue is x

But we know the height of the pedestal = 150ft

The distance from the observer to the base of the pedestal = 250ft

And the angle of elevation = 50°

See attached document for better illustration.

Tanθ = opposite / adjacent

θ = 50°

Adjacent = 250

Opposite = y

Tan50 = t / 250

y = 50 × tan50

y = 50 × tan50

y = 50 × 1.1917

y = 297.925ft

The height of the statue from the base of the pedestal to the top of the torch is 297.925ft

The height of the statue = x

x = (height of the statue + height of the pedestal) - height of the pedestal

x = y - 150

x = 297.925 - 150

x = 147.925ft

Approximately 148ft

The height of the statue is 148ft

Please help me if you can ​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

8π in

64π mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is equal to 2πr, where r is the radius.

2π(4) = 8π ≈ 25.132

The area of a circle is equal to πr²

π(8)² = 64π ≈ 201.062

Given the function: f(x) = 2x3 - 3/2x, find f(-4).
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

D) -122

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = 2x^3-\frac{3}2x

We need to find f(-4).

Now by substituting the value of x =-4 in above equation we get;

f(-4)= 2\times(-4)^3-\frac{3}{2}\times(-4)\\

By using PEDMAS we will solve for exponential function first we get;

Now we know that (-4)^3=-64

So we get;

f(-4)= 2\times(-64)-\frac{3}{2}\times(-4)\\

Now using PEDMAS we will solve division.

f(-4)= 2\times(-64)-1.5\times(-4)

Now using PEDMAS we solve multiplication.

f(-4)= -128+6

Finally by subtraction we get;

f(-4)= -122

Please help I don’t understand how to do these
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

I think there would be 86 blue marbles

x=4(106 - x ) + 6

x= 424 - 4x + 6

5x= 430

x= 86 blue marbles

Tell me if I'm wrong, hope this helps.

Х- а<br>x-b<br>If f(x) = b.x-a÷b-a + a.x-b÷a - b<br>Prove that: f (a) + f(b) = f (a + b)​
GenaCL600 [577]

Given:

Consider the given function:

f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot(x-b)}{a-b}

To prove:

f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (x-b)}{a-b}

Substituting x=a, we get

f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a-b)}{a-b}

f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot 0}{b-a}+\dfrac{a}{1}

f(a)=0+a

f(a)=a

Substituting x=b, we get

f(b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (b-b)}{a-b}

f(b)=\dfrac{b}{1}+\dfrac{a\cdot 0}{a-b}

f(b)=b+0

f(b)=b

Substituting x=a+b, we get

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a+b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a+b-b)}{a-b}

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot (b)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a)}{-(b-a)}

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2}{b-a}-\dfrac{a^2}{b-a}

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2-a^2}{b-a}

Using the algebraic formula, we get

f(a+b)=\dfrac{(b-a)(b+a)}{b-a}          [\because b^2-a^2=(b-a)(b+a)]

f(a+b)=b+a

f(a+b)=a+b               [Commutative property of addition]

Now,

LHS=f(a)+f(b)

LHS=a+b

LHS=f(a+b)

LHS=RHS

Hence proved.
