Answer:

40.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use trigonometry.

First, set your calculator to Degrees instead of Radians. Next, draw a model like the attached image to help you better understand the question.

Now, figure out which trigonometric ratio to use. In this case, it is easiest to use sine (or cosine).

sin(38°) = x / 125

125(sin(38°)) = x

x ≈ 37.046

Finally, to find the height, simply add how high the hand is from the ground:

h = 37.046 + 3.25 = 40.296

So,

h ≈ 40.3 ft

Which of the following functions is graphed below.

Answer: Option A

$y=\left \{ {{x^2 +2;\ \ x$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph we have a piecewise function composed of a parabola and a line.

The parabola has the vertex in the point (0, 2) and cuts the y-axis in y = 2.

The equation of this parabola is $y = x ^ 2 +2$

Then we have an equation line $y = -x + 2
$

Note that the interval in which the parabola is defined is from -∞ to x = 1. Note that the parabola does not include the point x = 1 because it is marked with an empty circle " о ."

(this is $x< 1$ )

Then the equation of the line goes from x = 1 to ∞ . In this case, the line includes x = 1 because the point at the end of the line is represented by a full circle .

(this is $x\geq 1$ )
