Answer:

<em>The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling for example, when representing geographic locations on a map.

A model ship is built to a scale of 1 cm: 5 m. This means that each centimeter of the model represents an actual length of 5 m.

The length of the model is 25 cm, thus the real ship has a length of 25*5 = 125 m.

The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.

If cos(x)=1/4 what is sin(x) and tan(x)
anygoal [31]
You can use the identity
  cos(x)² +sin(x)² = 1
to find sin(x) from cos(x) or vice versa.

  (1/4)² +sin(x)² = 1
  sin(x)² = 1 - 1/16
  sin(x) = ±(√15)/4


Then the tangent can be computed as the ratio of sine to cosine.
  tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = (±(√15)/4)/(1/4)
  tan(x) = ±√15


There are two possible answers.
In the first quadrant:
  sin(x) = (√15)/4
  tan(x) = √15

In the fourth quadrant:
  sin(x) = -(√15)/4
  tan(x) = -√15

(Algebra 2)<br><br> Find the inverse of f(x) and its domain.
elixir [45]
Let f(x)=y
f^-1(x)=x
y=1/(x+5) - 1
y+1=1/(x+5)
(x+5)=1/(y+1)
x=1/(y+1)-5
f^-1(x)=1/(x+1) -5

denominator cannot equals to zero
x+1≠0
x≠-1
