Answer:

Create a proportion.

\frac{5}{6} = \frac{305}{x}\\

This proportion is saying,

"If 5 corresponds to 6, then 305 corresponds to what?"

Cross multiply.

5x = 305(6)

5x = 1830

x = 1830 / 5

x = 366

So, the shadow of the statue should be 366 feet.

99 Points Need Help! How to reflect over y= -x+6
iragen [17]
To reflect in the line y = -x + 6, we translate everything down 6 first. This will make it seem like we are reflecting in the line y = -x
                                 (x,y) → (x, y-6)
Then, to reflect in the line y = -x, we switch the x- and y-coordinates and then make them negative
                                 (x,y) → (-(y-6), -x)     
Then we move everything back up again
                                 (x,y) → (-(y-6), -x + 6)          
I will present to you an example. Reflect the point (-4, 8) in the line y = -x + 6.
                                 (-4,8) → (-(8-6), -(-4) + 6) → (-2, 10)
You should graph this out to confirm with the reflection line.

Find the range of the given data set.<br> 5/8, 3/4, 1 1/8, 1 1/4
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

the range of the given data set is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Range is the difference between the largest value in a number set minus the smallest value in a number set.

In this case, the largest value is 1 1/4 and the smallest is 5/8

We simply just subtract those 2 numbers to find the range.

  • 1 1/4 - 5/8
  • Find the common denominator
  • 1 2/8 - 5/8
  • Make the first fraction an improper fraction
  • 10/8 - 5/8
  • 5/8

Determine the general solution of:<br><br> sin 3x - sin x = cos2x
SpyIntel [72]
Sin³ x-sin x=cos ² x

we know that:
sin²x + cos²x=1  ⇒cos²x=1-sin²x
Therefore:

sin³x-sin x=1-sin²x
sin³x+sin²x-sin x-1=0

sin³x=z

z³+z²-z-1=0

we divide by Ruffini method:
              1     1     -1     -1
        1           1      2      1                z=1
-------------------------------------
              1     2      1      0
       -1         -1      -1                       z=-1
--------------------------------------
              1     1       0                       z=-1

Therefore; the solutions are z=-1 and z=1

The solutions are:
if z=-1, then
sin x=-1   ⇒x= arcsin -1=π+2kπ    (180º+360ºK)   K∈Z


if z=1, then
sin x=1   ⇒ x=arcsin 1=π/2 + 2kπ   (90º+360ºK)   k∈Z

π/2 + 2kπ    U   π+2Kπ=π/2+kπ     k∈Z    ≈(90º+180ºK)

Answer: π/2 + Kπ    or     90º+180ºK          K∈Z
Z=...-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4....
