Answer:

The height of the flagpole is 46 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the ratio to connect the variables

Tan(∅) = opposite/adjacent

Plug in the Variables

Tan(39) = x/50

Solve for x

50*tan(39) = x

x = 40.48

Don't forget to include the man's height

40.48 + 6 = 46.48

Your bike was originally purchased for $1,200. It loses about 8% of its original value each year. Write an equation to represent

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

y= 1200(0.92)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Cost price= $1200

Rate of decrease= 8%

Let the time be x

The expression that describes an exponential function is

y= ab^x

for decrease b= 1-r

y= 1200(1-0.08)^x

y= 1200(0.92)^x

Hence the expression is

y= 1200(0.92)^x

Please help, I’m struggling

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

49.5 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is A = (height) X (base) / 2

So if you plug in the numbers you get:

806.9 = (32.6) X (base) / 2

1613.8 = (32.6) X (base)

1613.8 / 32.6 = base

base = 49.5 mi

The inequality describes the range of monthly average temperatures T in degrees Fahrenheit at a certain location. Find an equiva

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Now if the high and low monthly average temperatures satisfy the inequality, then the , monthly averages are always within 22 degrees of 43°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality describes the range of monthly average temperatures T in degrees Fahrenheit at a certain location.

The inequality expression is given as:

$|T-43|\leq 22$

now this expression could also be expressed as:

$-22\leq T-43\leq22\\\\-22+43 \leq T \leq 22+43\\\\21\leq T\leq 65$

Now if the high and low monthly average temperatures satisfy the inequality, then the , monthly averages are always within 22 degrees of 43°F.

( As the difference is 22 degrees to the left and right)
