Answer:

19.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem , the Square of the distance between the top of the piece and the Shadow Is the sum of the height of the piece. and the lenght of the shadow. basically Just build a triangle with the 3 points you are given: height of the piece, lenght of the shadow and distance between the 2. so it's sqrt(13^2+15^2) = sqrt(394) =19.8 cm

3x - 2 = 7 
3x = 7 + 2 
3x = 9 (divide both sides by 3 to get x) 
3x/3 = 9/3 
x = 3

The table of values represents a function ​f(x).
NeX [460]

Answer:

The average rate of change over the interval [9,10] is greater than that over the interval [5,8] by 6490.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of f(x) = 4052 for x = 9 and f(x) = 11014 for x = 10.

Therefore, the average rate of change of f(x) with respect to x over the interval [9,10] is given by  

= \frac{\textrm {Total change in value of f(x)}}{\textrm {Total change in value of x}}

= \frac{11014 - 4052}{10 - 9} = 6962

Now, the value of f(x) = 75 for x = 5 and f(x) = 1491 for x = 8.

Therefore, the average rate of change of f(x) with respect to x over the interval [5,8] is given by

= \frac{\textrm {Total change in value of f(x)}}{\textrm {Total change in value of x}}

= \frac{1491 - 75}{8 - 5} = 472

Therefore, the average rate of change over the interval [9,10] is greater than that over the interval [5,8] by (6962 - 472) = 6490. (Answer)
