Sparky the Bear is atop a 100 foot tower. He is looking out over a fairly level area for careless people who might start fires.

Suddenly, he sees a fire starting. He marks down the direction of the fire, but he also needs to know how far away the tower is from the fire.

The distance of sparky to the fire is 99.445 feet

<h3>Application of SOH CAH TOA identity</h3>

Given the following parameters

The angle of depression = 6  degrees

If Sparky is looking over the fairly level, hence the hypotenuse is 100 foot

Required

Distance from spark tower to the fire

Using the expression below

Cos 6 = D/100

D = 100cos6

D = 100(0.9945)
D = 99.45foot

Hence the distance of sparky to the fire is 99.445 feet

Which of the following describes the growth rate of the exponential function in the graph below?
motikmotik
The common form of exponential function is y = xᵃ where x is the variable and a is raised to a specific number. From this, the graph would on the value of a. An example would be when there are 70000 bacteria present in a culture and reduced by half every four hours, the number of bacteria will decrease. The bacteria will experience an exponential decay because it decreases its number at a constant decay.

Find the inverse of f(x)= -x + 3
inna [77]
Let g the inverse function of f.

The most important property of g and f being inverses of each other, is that 

g(f(x))=x,      also f(g(x))=x

so, what one function 'does' to x, the other 'undoes' it.



Thus, we have:

f(g(x))=x      and alos   f(g(x))= -g(x)+3, from the rule


thus : 

-g(x)+3=x

-g(x)=x-3

g(x)=-x+3


check: f(g(x))=f(-x+3)=-(-x+3)+3=x-3+3=x


Answer: the inverse of f is g, such that g(x)=-x+3

Molodets [167]

Answer:

(a)The amount of fuel in dollars = $1.62

(b)The rate equivalent to in U.S. dollars per gallon = $ 1.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Reid will be driving through Spain this summer. He did some research and knows that the average price of gas in Spain is approximately 1.12 euros per liter.

1 USD = 0.69 euros

We have to find the money that we should pay in order to get the same amount of fuel.

1 euro = \frac{1}{0.69}

1 euro = $1.45

So 1.12 euros = 1.12\times1.45 = $1.62

(a)The amount of fuel in dollars = $1.62

(b)The rate equivalent to in U.S. dollars per gallon = $ 1.45

If a ladder is to be placed 3 feet from the side of a house. If top of the ladder rests exactly on the edge of the house when it
likoan [24]

Answer:

7 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

This set up will give a right angle triangle where;

Length of the ladder is the hypotenuse = x

The distance of the ladder to the house is the adjacent = 3 feet

Angle of elevation theta = 72 degrees

Using the CAH in trigonometry identity;

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 72 = 3/hyp

hyp = 3/cos72

hyp = 3/0.4258

hyp = 7.05 feet

Hence the ladder is approximately 7 feet long
