Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, draw a picture. The pole is 22 feet tall. Katherine is 5.5 feet tall. She is 24 feet from the pole. The light from the top of the pole to the tip of her shadow forms two similar right triangles. The length of her shadow is x.
Now use similar triangles to write a proportion:
22 / (24 + x) = 5.5 / x
Cross multiply:
22x = 5.5 (24 + x)
Distribute:
22x = 132 + 5.5x
Combine like terms:
16.5x = 132
Divide:
x = 8
The shadow is 8 feet long.
Answer:
4x^2 + 8x + 4
4(x^2 + 2x + 1) - remove GCF of 4
4(x + 1)(x + 1) - factor
4(x + 1)^2 - collect like terms
Step-by-step explanation:
Then also expand it out by distributing:
21x^3 + 35x²
Form 1:
21x^3 + 35x² - unfactored
Form 2:
7x²(3x + 5) - factored with GCF of 7x² brought to the front
Update:
You could also multiply two binomials and make a quadratic.
Example:
(7x + 2)(3x + 5)
7x(3x + 5) + 2(3x + 5)
= 21x² + 35x + 6x + 10
= 21x² + 41x + 10

Answer:
C. 2x^2 -8x +3 +1/(x +4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Synthetic division is useful for finding the quotient. Or, you can use polynomial long division. The result is the same, but synthetic division requires less writing.
Answer:
I'd say none, as we're missing something in this problem. Make sure you've included everything to solve this problem. Thanks.
