Answer:

The rock formation is approximately 7 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>We can visualize this situation as a triangle and know that the bottom side is </em><em>10</em><em> and the angle of elevation (the angle created by Mike and the ground, looking to the top of a rock). With this information, we can use tangent to solve.</em>

<em>x = the height of the rock formation</em>

tan(22°) = x/10

10 tan(22°) = x

x = ~4.04 feet

<em>We also have to add the </em><em>3 feet</em><em> to it because it is being measured 3 feet above the floor.</em>

x + 3 = 7.04 feet

Igoryamba

Answer:$154.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 65 and multiple .15 and that will give you the 15% off of the case. When u do that you get 9.75 so then 65-9.75= 55.25 multiply .08 for the sales tax on the case = 4.42 add to 55.25= 59.67 then add the sales tax for the laptop 320 multiplied by .08 = 25. 60 for a total of 345.60 then add that to 59.67 = 405.27 then u have to subtract that from 560 and Josh has $154.73

Choose the table that represents g(x) = −2⋅f(x) when f(x) = x + 4
fomenos

Answer:

  x g(x)

  1 −10

  2 −12

  3 −14

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the values and do the arithmetic.

Table values for x are 1, 2, 3. We only need to find g(1) to determine which table is the correct choice.

  f(1) = 1 +4 = 5 . . . . . . . . . put 1 where x is and do the arithmetic

 g(1) = -2·f(1) = -2·5 = -10 . . . . . matches the 3rd choice
