Use similar triangles
distance of man from puddle = 0.5 m.
distance of puddle from tower = 13 - 0.5 = 12.5 meters
so we have 2 similar triangles
one has height 2 m and base 0.5 m and the other has height x m ( the tower) and base 12.5 m

Corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so

2 / x = 0.5 / 12.5

0.5x = 2*12.5 = 25

x = 25 / 0.5 = 50 m

The tower is approx 50 m high.

Solve -(1+7g)-6(-7-g)=36

maria [59]

Eliminate parentheses using the distributive property.

... -1 -7g +42 +6g = 36

... 41 -g = 36 . . . . collect terms

... 41 -36 = g . . . . add g-36 to both sides

... 5 = g . . . . . .. . . your answer

B. Determine the values of a and b so that f is continuous.<br><br> Please help!

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

following are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

$\lim_{x\to 2}+f(x) = \lim_{x\to 2}+ (ax^2-bx+3) = 4a-2b+3\\\\ \to 4a-2b+3 = 4\\\\ \therefore \ \ 4a-2b = 1\\\\$

The one-sided limits of F(x) at x = 3 must be equivalent for f(x) to be continuous at x = 3.

$\to \lim_{x\to 3}- f(x) = \lim_{x\to 3}- (ax^2-bx+3) = 9a-3b+3\\\\ \to \lim_{x\to 3}+ f(x) = \lim_{x\to 3}+ (2x-a+b) = 6-a+b\\\\$

So,

$\to 9a-3b+3 = 6-a+b\\\\\therefore\\ \to 10a -4b = 3$

$\to 4a - 2b = 1......(a)\\\to 10a - 4b = 3.......(b)\\$

In equation a multiply the by -2 and then add in the equation b:

$\to -8a + 4b = -2\\\to 10a - 4b = 3\\ \to 2a = 1\\\\ \to a = \frac{1}{2}\\\\ \to \ 4(\frac{1}{2}) - 2b = 1\\\\ \to 2 - 2b = 1\\\\ \to -2b = -1\\\\ \to b = \frac{1}{2}$

So, the value of $a \ and \ b= \frac{1}{2}$
