X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
The answer is 2 pounds because 60 times 20 1200 and 1200 divided by 300 is 4 and 1/2 times 4 is 2
Ans(a):
Given function is 
we know that any rational function is not defined when denominator is 0 so that means denominator x+4 can't be 0
so let's solve
x+4≠0 for x
x≠0-4
x≠-4
Hence at x=4, function can't have solution.
Ans(b):
We know that vertical shift occurs when we add something on the right side of function so vertical shift by 4 units means add 4 to f(x)
so we get:
g(x)=f(x)+4
We may simplify this equation but that is not compulsory.
Comparision:
Graph of g(x) will be just 4 unit upward than graph of f(x).
Ans(c):
To find value of x when g(x)=8, just plug g(x)=8 in previous equation
4x+16=3x-1
4x-3x=-1-16
x=-17
Hence final answer is x=-17
