The distance from point Y to the flag post measures 38.13 m. Step-by-step explanation: Assuming point Y is located at the intersection of both lines shown. Point X is positioned 34 meters east of point Y. The flagpole at point X is observed at a bearing of N18°W, meaning it creates an angle of 18° to the west from the north at point X. Conversely, at point Y, the flagpole has a bearing of N40°E, which makes a 40° angle towards the east from the north. Considering ∆ AXY as a right triangle, the angle FXY is established. Then, concerning ∆ BYX as another right triangle, the angle FYX is also determined. To find the third angle ∠YFX in triangle FYX, the angle sum property of triangles can be applied: ∠YFX + ∠FYX + ∠FXY = 180° Thus, we have: ∠YFX + 50° + 72° = 180° leading to ∠YFX = 58°. Now we can calculate the distance FY using the sine rule.

Answer: C) HF measures 4 units and GH is 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The SSS similarity theorem asserts that triangles are similar if the lengths of their corresponding sides are in proportion.

For triangles ΔDFE and ΔGFH:

DG equals 15, GF is 5, EH equals 12, and DE is 8.

To demonstrate the similarity of ΔDFE and ΔGFH according to the SSS similarity theorem, we require:

\frac{DF}{GF}=\frac{FE}{FH}=\frac{DE}{GH}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{DG+GF}{GF}=\frac{FH+EH}{FH}=\frac{DE}{GH}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{5+15}{5}=\frac{12+HF}{FH}=\frac{8}{GH}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{20}{5}=\frac{12+HF}{FH}\ and\ \frac{20}{5}=\frac{8}{GH}\\\\\Rightarrrow4HF=12+HF\ and\ GH=\frac{8}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow3HF=12\ and\ GH=2\\\\\Rightarrow HF=4\ and\ GH=2

Thus, to confirm that △DFE is similar to △GFH utilizing the SSS similarity theorem and the data from the diagram, it is essential to establish that HF measures 4 units and GH measures 2 units.

Consider the graphs of f (x) = StartAbsoluteValue x EndAbsoluteValue + 1 and g (x) = StartFraction 1 Over x cubed EndFraction. T
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

We have defined functions:

f(x) = IxI + 1

g(x) = 1/x^3.

Currently, it is evident that the composite functions are not commutative.

How can we demonstrate this?

To determine if two composite functions are commutative, the following must hold true:

f(g(x)) = g(f(x))

One could apply brute force (simply substituting values to see if the composite functions commute),

but I will opt for a more sophisticated approach.

There are two notable observations:

g(x) has a point of discontinuity at x = 0.

Thus:

f(g(x)) = I 1/x^3 I + 1

remains discontinuous at x = 0, whereas:

g(f(x)) = 1/(IxI + 1)^3

shows that the denominator IxI + 1 can never reach zero.

At this point, there is no discontinuity.

Consequently, the composite functions cannot be commutative.

Leona [12618]
To find the length of the frame, we're effectively calculating the circle's circumference, which measures the distance around the circle's edge. The formula used is C=2πr, where r denotes the radius.

D = 20 in
r = D/2 = 20 in/2 = 10 in
C = 2π(10 in) = 20π in ≈ 62.83 in

Thus, the metal frame is approximately 62.83 inches long.
