Answer:

(b) 112.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

For the given geometry, this becomes ...

tan(65°) = (height above eye level)/(50 ft)

Then we have ...

(height above eye level) = (50 ft)tan(65°) = 107.2 ft

Adding the height of eye level will give us the height of the building.

building height = (eye level height) + (height above eye level)

building height = (5 ft) + (107.2 ft)

building height = 112.2 ft

For an exponential regression equation in the form y=ab^x which of the following values of b will cause y to get smaller as x ge

sdas [7]

Answer:

d) 0.798

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that an exponential function is in form: $y=a*b^x$ , where,

a= Initial value,

b = For growth b is in form (1+r), where r is rate in decimal form.

b = For decay or regression b is less than 1 and in form (1-r), where r is rate in decimal form.

Upon looking at our given choices we can see that options a, b and c are in form 1+r, while choice provided in option d is less than 1 and in form 1-r, therefore, option d is the correct choice.

A Mexican restaurant sells quesadillas in two sizes: a "large" 10 inch-round quesadilla and a "small" 5 inch-

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Half of the 10-inch quesadilla is greater than the entire 5-inch quesadilla

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^2$

where

r is the radius

step 1

Find the area of the 10 inch-round quesadilla

we have

$D=10\ in$

$r=10/2=5\ in$

substitute

$A=\pi (5)^2$

$A=25\pi\ in^2$

step 2

Find the area of the 5 inch-round quesadilla

we have

$D=5\ in$

$r=5/2=2.5\ in$

substitute

$A=\pi (2.5)^2$

$A=6.25\pi\ in^2$

step 3

Which is larger, half of the 10-inch quesadilla or the entire 5-inch quesadilla?

Compare

half of the 10-inch quesadilla is equal to ----> $\frac{1}{2}(25\pi)=12.5\pi\ in^2$

the entire 5-inch quesadilla ----> $6.25\pi\ in^2$

therefore

Half of the 10-inch quesadilla is greater than the entire 5-inch quesadilla
