Answer:

328 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From a boat ont he lake, the angle of elevation to the top of a cliff is 11° 50'. If the base of the cliff is 1568 feet from the boat, how high is the cliff (to the nearest foot)

Step 1

Note that

that 11°50' is just 11 degrees and 50 minutes

60 minutes = 1 degree,

thus 50 minutes = x degree

50/60 degrees

= 0.83°

Hence: 11°50' = 11.83°.

Step 2

We solve using Trigonometric function of tan

tan theta = Opposite/Adjacent

theta = 11.83°

Adjacent = 1568 feet

Opposite = Height of the cliff = x

tan 11.83° = x/1568

Cross Multiply

x = tan 11.83 × 1568

x = 328.429195 feet

Approximately = 328 feet

The height of the cliff is 328 feet

One-Half the difference of a number and 15
slega [8]

Answer:

x - 15 ÷ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it wants you to find the half of your answer after you find the difference, be sure to leave the two at the end of your equation. With that said, let's move into finding out what "the difference of a number and fifteen is". Whenever they tell you 'a number', it means they want you to put a variable, such as x, since you do not know the number and it could be any number. Now, the "difference" of something usually means...you guessed it, subtraction! Now that you've decoded your equation, you now know it means that x - 15 is the first part, and you can now put the one half right after it.

If this is confusing, I can explain further. :D

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x – 10?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

h(x)=\dfrac{x}{2}+5

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the function f(x)=2x-10. To find the inverse function f^{-1}(x) do such steps:

1. Rewrite the function f(x) as

y=2x-10

2. Express x in terms of y:

y+10=2x\\ \\x=\dfrac{y}{2}+5

3. Change x into y and y into x:

y=\dfrac{x}{2}+5

Now, the inverse function is

f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x}{2}+5
