Answer:

The answer to your question is   Tree's height = 26.8 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Person                         Tree

height = 6 ft                 height = x

shadow = 8.5 ft            shadow = 38 ft

Process

1.- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem

   Person's height/ Person's shadow = Tree´s height / Tree's shadow

Solve for Tree's height

   Tree's height = Person's height x Tree's shadow / Person's shadow

Substitution

   Tree's height = 6 x 38 / 8.5

Simplification

   Tree's height = 228 / 8.5

Result

    Tree's height = 26.8 ft

Answer:

1,395 sq feet

Step-by-step explanation:

lets start with the area of the green cube b×h. 15×15=225. 225×5= 1125. I got five because there are 5 visible faces on the cube. to find the area of a triangle you use the formula 1/2 bh 9×15= 135 multiply that by 2 instead of one half because you have four triangular faces. add your areas together and you get 1395

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

10.9451≈10.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

sinT= hypotenuse/ opposite = x/5.8

sin32= x/5.8

x*sin 32=5.8

x=5.8/sin 32= <u>10.9451≈10.9 feet</u>

Find the Maclaurin polynomials of orders n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, and then find the nth Maclaurin polynomials for the function in
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Σ(-1)^kx^k for k = 0 to n

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth Maclaurin polynomials for f to be

Pn(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + f''(0)x²/2! + f"'(0)x³/3! +. ......

The given function is.

f(x) = 1/(1+x)

Differentiate four times with respect to x

f(x) = 1/(1+x)

f'(x) = -1/(1+x)²

f''(x) = 2/(1+x)³

f'''(x) = -6/(1+x)⁴

f''''(x) = 24/(1+x)^5

To calculate with a coefficient of 1

f(0) = 1

f'(0) = -1

f''(0) = 2

f'''(0) = -6

f''''(0) = 24

Findinf Pn(x) for n = 0 to 4.

Po(x) = 1

P1(x) = 1 - x

P2(x) = 1 - x + x²

P3(x) = 1 - x+ x² - x³

P4(x) = 1 - x+ x² - x³+ x⁴

Hence, the nth Maclaurin polynomials is

1 - x+ x² - x³+ x⁴ +.......+(-1)^nx^n

= Σ(-1)^kx^k for k = 0 to n
