Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

           | \

           |   \

           |      \

           |         \

           |            \

100 ft.  |              \

           |         2     \

           |_________\

                    x

Use tangent to find the x.

tan(2) = \frac{100}{x}

x = \frac{100}{tan(2)}

Use a calculator to evaluate.

x = \frac{100}{tan(2)} = 2863.6253

So, the boat is 2,863.63 feet from the shore.

If f^-1(x) is the inverse of f(x), which statement must be true?
k0ka [10]
F(f-1x)   will be equal to x

take a simple example 

f(x) = 2x

so x = f(x) / 2

 f-1(x) = x/2

f(f-1x) =  2 ( x/2)  = 2 * x/2 = x
