Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{height of object}{length of shadow}

Let the hight of the soldier be x

\frac{24}{9} = \frac{x}{2.25}

x = (24×2.25)/9 = 6ft

Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's form a proportion;

24                    x

____    =      _____ ,

 9                   2.25

24(2.25) = 9x,

54 = 9x,

x = height of soldier = 6 feet

What is the equation of a line that has a y-intercept of 4 and an x-intercept of -2?​
Furkat [3]

Answer:

y = 2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on this line are (-2, 0) and (0, 4).  Going from the first to the second, x increases by 2 (this is the 'run') and y increases by 4 ('rise').

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run =  4/2 = 2

Using the slope-intercept formula, we get y = mx + b = 2x + b

Let x = -2 and y = 0 to find b:  0 = 2(-2) + b, so b = 4, and the desired equation is then:

y = 2x + 4

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lesya [120]
2x^{2} is a monomial (since it is all connected by multiplication) and since it is in the degree of 2, that makes it a quadratic. 

-2 is a constant (since it doesn't have variables) and it is a monomial (since it is all connected by multiplication)

3x-9 is a binomial (since it has two terms, not connected by multiplication) and since it has x in the power of 1, that makes it a linear equation.

Finally, -3x^{2} -6x + 9 is a trinomial (since it has 3 terms connected by either addition or subtraction) and since the degree of the polynomial is 2, that makes it a quadratic.

Given An = 5a(n-1) where a1= 2. What are the first 4 terms
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

2, 10, 50, 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula with a₁ = 2 , then

a₂ = 5a₁ = 5 × 2 = 10

a₃ = 5a₂ = 5 × 10 = 50

a₄ = 5a₃ = 5 × 50 = 250

The first 4 terms are 2, 10, 50, 250
