Answer:
Option B) is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Exponential function is the one where, a constant is raised to the power of x, a independent variable.</em>
Here, only option B and D are such exponential functions, while option A is linear and option C is quadratic in nature.
Now, to verify which option is correct, we will input the values and check which has the least difference between the given values.
Or we can use the cost function,
, to find which function has the least error.
By applying the above results,we find Option B is correct.
Check out the attached image for the drawing of how this would look. The drawing isn't 100% needed but it helps I think.
Based on the figure shown in the attachment, we have a right triangle with the adjacent leg of 80 (this leg is closest to the bottom 12 degree angle) and an opposite leg of h
In short,
adjacent = 80
opposite = h
We'll use the tangent rule
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(12) = h/80
80*tan(12) = h
h = 80*tan(12)
h = 17.0045249336018 <<-- see note below
So the lighthouse is roughly 17.0045249336018 meters tall
Answer: 17.0045249336018
Note: Make sure you are in degree mode. The value is approximate. Round this answer however you need to
