Answer:

C. \frac{x}{3}=\frac{110}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original height of building.

We have been given that a 3 meter pole has a shadow 5 m long. The shadow of a nearby building is 110 m long.

To find the original height of building we will use proportions as proportion states that two fractions are equal.

So we can set a proportion using our given information.

\frac{\text{Actual height of building}}{\text{Actual height of pole}}=\frac{\text{Shadow of building}}{\text{Shadow of pole}}

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{110}{5}

Therefore, the equation \frac{x}{3}=\frac{110}{5} could be used to find the actual height of building.

Fantom [35]
The probability that at least two of the missiles hit the arsenal:
P ( x ≥ 2 ) = P ( x = 2 ) + P ( x = 3 )
P ( x = 2 ) = 0.75 · 0.85 · 0.1 + 0.85 · 0.9 · 0.25 + 0.75 · 0.9 · 0.15 =
= 0.06375 + 0.10125 + 0.19125 = 0.35625
P ( x = 3 ) = 0.75 · 0.85 · 0.9 = 0.57375
P ( x ≥ 2 ) = 0.35625 + 0.57375 = 0.93
Answer:
The probability is 0.93 or 93%.

To determine whether a graph of a relation is also a function, Shayla declares that the y-axis is a vertical line and counts the
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is any equivalence relation in which there is only one output for every input. This means that the domain must be exhausted in order to gain all the elements of the range and each element of domain gets mapped to only one of the elements of the range. Vertical line test is used to determine whether a graph is a function or not. This test requires that vertical lines parallel to y-axis and including y-axis be drawn on the graph to see that each vertical line intersects the graph only once. This must be true for all the elements of the domain. Therefore, vertical line test requires to draw numerous vertical lines other than the y-axis since the definition of the function requires that. In short, mathematically, there will be a need for infinite number of vertical lines to perform the test. Therefore, Shayla is not applying the vertical line test correctly!!!
