The ratio of the height (h) of the streetlight to its distance to the end of Laura's shadow is the same as the ratio of Laura's height to her distance from the end of her shadow.
.. h/(12+9) = 5'4"/9
.. h = (21/9)*5'4" = 12 4/9 feet
.. h = 12 ft 5 1/3 inches

The streetlight is 12 ft 5 1/3 inches tall.

What is the true solution to 3 In 2+In 8 = 2 In(4x)?<br> 60f<br> Š O OOO<br> TNT 00
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking antilogs, you have ...

  2³ × 8 = (4x)²

  64 = 16x²

  x = √(64/16) = √4

  x = 2 . . . . . . . . (the negative square root is not a solution)

___

You can also work more directly with the logs, if you like.

  3·ln(2) +ln(2³) = 2ln(2²x) . . . . . . . . . . . write 4 and 8 as powers of 2

  3·ln(2) +3·ln(2) = 2(2·ln(2) +ln(x)) . . . . use rules of logs to move exponents

  6·ln(2) = 4·ln(2) +2·ln(x) . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  2·ln(2) = 2·ln(x) . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4ln(2)

  ln(2) = ln(x) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the antilogs

100 people are running a marathon. How many different ways can the runners finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

970,200

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 100 man race, how many runners have the chance to finish first?

Answer 100.

Now that 1 person is first, how many runners could be second? Well, there are still 99 runners left, and any one of them could be second.

Answer 99.

How many can be third? Using the same idea as above, once one person is first and another is second, that leaves 98 people still running and trying for third. So how many can be in third?

Answer 98.

Now you need to do the math.

100 × 99 × 98 = 970,200

So there are 970,200 different ways.

Hope this helps!! Brainliest :) ?

Which function in vertex form is equivalent to f(x) = x2 + 8 – 16x?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

f(x)= (x+8)^2 + 200

Step-by-step explanation:

-b/2a gives you the x coordinate of the vertex and then plug it in for x to get the y coordinate. Put it in the formula (f()x= (x-h)^2 +k).

H is the x coordinate and K is the y coordinate
