No answer is possible using only the information given in the question.
In addition to the angle of depression, we need either one of these:
-- the length of the tree's shadow on the ground
-- the slant distance direct from the tip of the shadow to the top of the tree.
I'm going out on a limb and guessing that on the page, next to that much of the
question, was a picture of the tree, with one of these additional items labeled.
There's an important reason why the publisher decided to go to the effort and
expense of printing the picture right there. I leave you to ponder the reason.
Answer:
0, ±1, ±7,±1/3, and ±7/3
Step-by-step explanation:
In the function:
3x^5 - 2x² + 7x
x can be extracted as the greatest common factor, as follows:
x(3x^4 - 2x + 7)
then, zero is one root of the function.
According to Rational Root Theorem:
possible rational roots = factors of the constant/factors of the leading coefficient
For this case, factors of the constant (7) are: ±1 and ±7
For this case, factors of the leading coefficient (3) are: ±1 and ±3
Then:
possible rational roots = ±1/±1, ±7/±1, ±1/±3 and ±7/±3. Simplifying: ±1, ±7,±1/3, and ±7/3
15% of $269.99 = 0.15 x 269.99 = $40.50 (nearest cent)
Answer: $40.50
