Alright remember, if any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0, the entire expression will be equal to 0.
k+1=0
k-5=0
Set the first factor equal to 0 and solve
k=-1
Set the next factor equal to 0 and solve
k=5
The final solution is all the values that make (k+1)(k-5)=0 true.
k=-1, 5
Hope this helped you out :)
The height of the statue is 19.5 feet.
Why?
We can solve the problem using trigonometric formulas. In this case, we are going to use the trigonometric formula of the tangent.
We know that the person is standing 50ft from the statue, so, it will be the base of the two triangles formed by both angles (elevation and depression)
Using the trignometric formula, we have:
First triangle:

Second triangle:

Now, the total height of the statue will be:

Have a nice day!
Answer:
The equation of the line is y = -7/8x + 11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have the slope and a point to start, we can use point-slope form to find the equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Use the slope for m and the point at (x1, y1). Then solve for y.
y - 9 = -7/8(x + 4)
y - 9 = -7/8x - 7/2
y = -7/8x + 11/2
