Answer:

sin-¹(10/11)

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the building is 100 ft and the ladder is 110ft long .We can imagine this situation as a right angled ∆. For figure refer to the attachment .

  • We can use ratio sine here. Let the angle of elevation be theta.

<u>In </u><u>∆</u><u> </u><u>ABC </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

=> sinθ = p/h

=> sinθ = 100ft / 110 ft

=> sinθ = 10/11

=> θ = sin -¹ ( 10/11) .

<h3><u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>angle</u><u> of</u><u> elevation</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>sin </u><u>-</u><u>¹</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u>. </u><u> </u></h3>

Find the composite function (please help)
anastassius [24]

Answer:

(f o h)(x) = -10x + 32

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Composite Functions

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 2x³ + 8

h(x) = ∛(12 - 5x)

(f o h)(x) is f(h(x))

<u>Step 2: Find Composite Function</u>

  1. Substitute:                         (f o h)(x) = 2(∛(12 - 5x))³ + 8
  2. Evaluate:                            (f o h)(x) = 2(12 - 5x) + 8
  3. Distribute 2:                       (f o h)(x) = 24 - 10x + 8
  4. Combine like terms:         (f o h)(x) = -10x + 32

And we have our final answer!
