Answer:

  • 79 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Balloon - B, stake - S, point at ground - G

<u>Given:</u>

  • BS = 90 ft
  • m∠BSG = 62°
  • BG = x

<u>Use sine and solve for x:</u>

  • BG/BS = sin ∠BSG
  • sin 62° = x / 90
  • x = 90 sin 62 deg
  • x = 79 ft (rounded)

Answer:

A.) gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 9

B.) g'(x) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) The two given functions are:

f(x) = (x + 2)^2 and g(x) = 3(x - 1)

Open the bracket of the two functions

f(x) = (x + 2)^2

f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4

f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4

and

g(x) = 3(x - 1)

g(x) = 3x - 3

To find gf(x), substitute f(x) for x in g(x)

gf(x) = 3( x^2 + 4x + 4 ) - 3

gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 12 - 3

gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 9

Where

a = 3, b = 12, c = 9

B.) To find g '(12), you must first find the inverse function of g(x) that is g'(x)

To find g'(x), let g(x) be equal to y. Then, interchange y and x for each other and make y the subject of formula

Y = 3x + 3

X = 3y + 3

Make y the subject of formula

3y = x - 3

Y = x/3 - 3/3

Y = x/3 - 1

Therefore, g'(x) = x/3 - 1

For g'(12), substitute 12 for x in g' (x)

g'(x) = 12/4 - 1

g'(x) = 3 - 1

g'(x) = 2.

If a adult ticket is 5$ and a student ticket is 1$ the total money collected is 2,662 and the sold ticket is 1,198
PIT_PIT [208]
5a + s = 2662
a + s = 1198
4a = 1464
a = 366

5(366) + s = 2,662
1830 adult tickets sold

2662 - 1830 = 832
832 student tickets sold
