Answer:

C. 3.5 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = angle of elevation

Angle of elevation = angle of depression = 6° (alternate angle theorem)

Hypotenuse = x

Opposite = 1905 ft

Apply trigonometric function SOH:

Sin 6° = Opp/Hyp

Sin 6° = 1905/x

x * Sin 6° = 1905

x = 1905/Sin 6°

x = 18,224.7 ft

Convert form feet to miles

1 mi = 5,280 ft

Therefore,

18,224.7 = 18,224.7/5,280

= 3.45164773 mi

≈ 3.5 mi (nearest mile)

Transform the given function f(x) as described.
Helen [10]

Answer:

g(x) = -|x| + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g(x) be the transformation function

-|x| reflects f(x) across the x-axis.  Add 1 to move the result up one unit

So, g(x) = -|x| + 1
