Answer:

17.11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You are using trigonometry in this problem.

The height of the flagpole represents the side opposite the given angle.

The base of the triangle is given as 19 meters and represents the side adjacent to the given angle.

Out of the main trigonomentric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent), only tangent uses both the opposite and adjacent sides.

Tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent

If we plug in what we know into that equation: tan(42 degrees) = h / 19

This means that your answer = 19 * tan(42) = 17.11 meters

John Doe estimates that the price elasticity of demand for new SUVs to be 0.75. If the price of SUVs rose by 15%; would the quan

Charra [1.4K]

If the coefficient of demand for the SUV is 0.75 this means that it has a relatively inelastic demand since it is less than. In other words, there is only a little alteration in demand when prices change.
So when the price of SUV rise by 15%, and it has a coefficient of 0.75, we can anticipate only 11.25% decrease in its demand. This is for the reason that the SUVs do not have many substitutes for it.
So to solve:
(x/15%) = 0.75
Then simply solve for x:
x = (0.75)(0.15) = 11.25%
