Answer:
g(x) = (x + 6)^2 - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To translate f(x) to the left by 6 units, replace x with x+6.
To translate f(x) down 5 units, replace f(x) with f(x)-5.
Together, these replacements give you ...
... g(x) = f(x+6) -5
... g(x) = (x +6)^2 -5
The formula to find the midpoint of a segment is ((x1 + x2)/2,),(y1 + y2)/2).
The x coordinate of the first point is -4, and the x coordinate of the second point is -8. The y coordinate of the first point is 6, and the y coordinate of the second point is -2. Now, we can plug these into our formula.
((-4 + (-8))/2), (6 + (-2))/2)) = (-12/2), (4/2) = (-6, 2)
So, (-6, 2) is the midpoint of the segment.
The definition of the tangent function tells you
tan(angle) = (300 ft) / (distance to mountain)
This equation can be rearranged to
(distance to mountain) = (300 ft) / tan(angle)
For the far end of the river,
distance to far end = (300 ft) / tan(24°) ≈ 673.8 ft
For the near end of the river
distance to near end = (300 ft) / tan(40°) ≈ 357.5 ft
Then the width of the river can be calculated by finding the difference of these distances:
width of river = distance to far end - distance to near end
width of river = 673.8 ft - 357.5 ft
width of river = 316.3 ft
The appropriate answer choice is
316 ft.
