Answer:

The height of the railway = 361 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by applying the required trigonometric function. Let the height of the railway be represented by h.

Sin θ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Sin 52 = \frac{h}{458}

h = Sin 52 x 458

  = 0.788 x 458

  = 360.904

h = 361

So that, the railway is 361 feet high.

The table shows the steps for solving the given inequality for x.
slavikrds [6]

Given inequality -3(4-6x) < x+5.

We have -3 in front of Parenthesis.

That represents multiplication of -3 and Parenthesis.

The multiplication of Parenthesis could be done by applying distributive property.

On distributing, we get

-12+18x < x+5

x is added on right side of the inequality. The reverse operation of addition is subtraction. So we need to subtract x from both sides, we get

-12+18x-x < x-x+5

-12+17x < 5

Now, we need to get rid -12 from left side.

So, we need to apply addition property of equality, we need to add 12 on both sides, we get

-12+12+18x < x+5+12

17x < 17

We need to get rid 17 from left side. So we need to apply division property of equality.

On dividing both sides by 17, we get

17x/17 < 17/17

x<1.

There are approximately 4.3 weeks in each month. How much will you take home each month after taxes?​
Marianna [84]

Answer:

So roughly c x c = b/100

5 x 5 x 100 = $2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say c = 5 and b = 1

= 5c =100c/5c x b

= 20c x b

We can also show

= 20c x b =5c

c = 20c/5c x b = 5c

1/20 x 5c = 5c

b=1

One example is 20%  = 0.20 x 500 = 100c  

=  7.12c  = 7c

1= 100%

100 x 71.042  = 710.42 weekly pay. emergency tax 142 = 568

100 x 71.042 = 710.42 weekly pay, normal tax 15% 142.084 =107

710-107 = 603 a week

4.3/7 x 603/7 = 86.1428571429 x 30 = 2584.29

A bacteria culture initially contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After an hour the population has i
Assoli18 [71]

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of growth equals 420/100 = 4.2 times per hour

So after t=three hours,

size of culture = 100*(4.2)^t = 100*4.2^3=7408.8 bacteria,

round to nearest unit 7409 bacteria after three hours (after initial size of 100).

Inverse of f(x)=3x-4
aniked [119]

Answer:

\large\boxed{f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x+4}{3}=\dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{4}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3x-4\to y=3x-4\\\\\text{exchange x to y and vice versa}\\\\x=3y-4\\\\\text{solve for y}\\\\3y-4=x\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\3y=x+4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\y=\dfrac{x+4}{3}
