Answer:

The shadow of the building = 192 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ There is a proportional relation between the heights of the tree and the building and their shadows

∴ Height tree/height building = shadow tree/shadow building

$\frac{5}{80}=\frac{12}{x}$

x = $\frac{(80)(12)}{5}$ = 192 ft ⇒ x is the length of the shadow of the building

The correct answer is A.) { - 0.79 ; 1.08 }, because
<span><span> <span>For </span><span>ax^2 + bx + c = 0</span><span>, the value of </span>x<span> is given by:</span></span> <span> ;
a = - 7 ; b = 2 ; c = 6 ;
b^2 - 4ac = 4 + 168 = 172 ; </span></span> $\sqrt{172}$ ≈ 13.11 ;<span><span>
x 1 = ( - 2 + 13.11 ) / (- 14) = 11.11 / ( - 14 ) </span></span>≈<span><span> -0.79 ;
x = 2 = ( - 2 - 13.11 ) / ( - 14 ) = (-15.11) / (- 14 ) </span></span>≈ 1.08 ;<span><span>

Answer:

Part 1) $y=1.5x+5$

Part 2) $y=-(2/3)x-(11/3)$

Part 3) $y=0.25x+2.75$

Part 4) $y=-2x+5$

Part 5) $y=0.5x-1$

Part 6) The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$m=3/2=1.5$

$point(-2,2)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y-2=1.5(x+2)$

$y=1.5x+3+2$

$y=1.5x+5$

Part 2) we know that

If two lines are perpendicular

then

the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so

$m1*m2=-1$

the slope of the line 1 is equal to

$m1=1.5$

Find the slope m2

$1.5*m2=-1$

$m2=-2/3$

Find the equation of the line 2

we have

$m2=-2/3$

$point(-7,1)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y-1=(-2/3)(x+7)$

$y=-(2/3)x-(14/3)+1$

$y=-(2/3)x-(11/3)$

Part 3) we have

$m=1/4=0.25$

$point(1,3)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y-3=0.25(x-1)$

$y=0.25x-0.25+3$

$y=0.25x+2.75$

Part 4) we have

$m=-2$

$b=5$ -----> y-intercept

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute the values

$y=-2x+5$

Part 5) we have that

The slope of the line 4 is equal to $-2$

so

the slope of the line perpendicular to the line 4 is equal to

$-2*m=-1\\m=(1/2)=0.5$

therefore

in this problem we have

$m=0.5$

$point(-2,-2)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y+2=0.5(x+2)$

$y=0.5x+1-2$

$y=0.5x-1$

Part 6)
