Answer:

16.5km

Step-by-step explanation:

Liola drives 17km up a hill that is at a grade of 14 degrees. What horizontal distance, to the nearest tenth of kilometer, has she covered?

We solve using Trigonometric function of Cosine

cos theta = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Theta = 14°

Hypotenuse = Distance up the hill = 17km

Adjacent = Horizontal distance = x

Hence,

cos 14 = x/17

Cross Multiply

x = cos 14 × 17

x = 16.495027347km

Approximately = 16.5km

The horizontal distance = 16.5km

How many whole numbers are between 1 and 50 that are divisible by 2?
kupik [55]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number in the range 1 - 50 that is divisible by 2 is 2 itself.  Then 4, 6, 8, ....

Here's one way to think and count:

2 \rightarrow 1\\4 \rightarrow 2\\6 \rightarrow 3\\8 \rightarrow 4\\\vdots\\50\rightarrow 25

In the table, the number on the right is <u>half</u> the number on the left.  The numbers on the right are just counting numbers (natural numbers), so there are 25 even numbers between 1 and 50.

The answer is D. If you plug in -6 for x (the x-value where the asymptote lies), only this equation will yield 1/0 for x=6. This means that D is the correct answer.

Ccalculate the value of f(4) for this function. f(x) = -(x-7)+3 i know the anwser is f(4)=6 but how?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

we have f(x) = -(x-7) + 3

and we want to find f(4)

essentially, f(4) means that the input is 4 and to find the output we plug in the value of the input where ever x is and evaluate.

So for f(x) = -(x-7) + 3

To find f(4) we replace all x's with 4

f(4) = -(4-7) + 3

we now evaluate

==> subtract 7 from 4

f(4) = -(-3) + 3

==> apply two negative rule ( basically if there are two negative signs they cancel out and the number turn positive )

f(4) = 3 + 3

==> add 3 and 3

f(4) = 6
