Answer:12.59

Step-by-step explanation:

enter image source here

From the diagram you can see that we have constructed a right triangle, with height A and base 15.

Length of shadow = 15 feet.

Height of flagpole = A.

We know the angle of elevation is

40

∘

. Using this angle and the tangent ratio, we can find A.

On a car trip Sam drove m miles Kara drove twice as many miles as Sam and Darin drove 20 fewer miles than Kara in terms of m man
frutty [35]

Answer:

Darin drove '2m - 20' miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Sam drove 'm' no. of miles.

As, it is also given that Kara drove twice as many miles as Sam. Therefore we get that Kara drove '2m' no. of miles.

Now, it is given that Darin drove 20 miles fewer than Kara .i.e. Darin drove '2m - 20' no. of miles.

Hence, in terms of m, Darin drove '2m - 20' miles.

Line CD contains points A (4, 6) and B (−2, 6). The slope of line CD is (4 points)
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we use the formula

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (6-6)/(-2-4)

   = 0/-6

   =0

Given that (5,-8) is on the graph of f(x), find the
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The corresponding point is (3,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When you add a constant value (k), to the argument of a function, the graph is shifted  k units to the left.

so

In this problem

The rule of the transformation is equal to

f(x) ------> f(x+2)

(x,y) ------> (x-2,y)

(5,-8) -----> (5-2,-8)

(5,-8) -----> (3,-8)
