Answer:

208.8 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Form a triangle with the centre of the Earth (C) at one point, the horizon (H) as a second point, and the top of Mt. Everest (O) as the third (see diagram).

Let

r = Earth’s radius

h = height of Mt Everest

d = distance to horizon

∆CHO is a right triangle.

d² + r² = (r+h)²

d² + 3959² = (3959+5.5)²

d² + 15 673 681 = 3964.5²

d² + 15 673 681 = 15 717 260 Subtract 15 673 681 from each side

d² = 43 579 Take the square root of each side

d = 208.8 mi

The distance from the top of Mt Everest to the horizon is 208.8 mi.

You are scheduling a new delivery route and you need to find out how long it would take a drive out to complete the route you st

larisa [96]

The delivery route took 4 hours and 15 minutes.

Because 9:50 + 4 hours is 1:50

1:50 + 15 minutes is 2:05

Hope this helps! Have a great rest of your day :)

Given f (x ) = x^2 + 3x + 2 and g (x ) = x + 1, perform the indicated operations.

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

(i) (f - g)(x) = x² + 2·x + 1

(ii) (f + g)(x) = x² + 4·x + 3

(iii) (f·g)(x) = x³ + 4·x² + 5·x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are;

f(x) = x² + 3·x + 2

g(x) = x + 1

(i) (f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

∴ (f - g)(x) = x² + 3·x + 2 - (x + 1) = x² + 3·x + 2 - x - 1 = x² + 2·x + 1

(f - g)(x) = x² + 2·x + 1

(ii) (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

∴ (f + g)(x) = x² + 3·x + 2 + (x + 1) = x² + 3·x + 2 + x + 1 = x² + 4·x + 3

(f + g)(x) = x² + 4·x + 3

(iii) (f·g)(x) = f(x) × g(x)

∴ (f·g)(x) = (x² + 3·x + 2) × (x + 1) = x³ + 3·x² + 2·x + x² + 3·x + 2 = x³ + 4·x² + 5·x + 2

(f·g)(x) = x³ + 4·x² + 5·x + 2
