Answer:

The answer to your question is 12.55 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Adam                                  Cara

height = 159 cm                  height = 140 cm

shadow = 105 cm                shadow = x

Process

1.- To solve this problem use the Thales' theorem

         Cara's shadow / Cara's height = Adam's shadow / Adam's height

- Substitution

                                     x / 140 = 105 / 159

-Solve for x

                                     x = 105 (140) / 159

-Simplification

                                     x = 14700 / 159

                                     x = 92.45 cm

Cara's shadow is 92.45 cm long.

2.- If both shadows are in line, then Cara must walk forward

                105 - 92.45 cm

                12.55 cm

Find the non-extraneous solutions of the square root of the quantity x plus 6 minus 5 equals quantity x plus 1.
denis23 [38]
(x+6)^(1/2)-5=x+1
(x+6)^(1/2)=x+6
((x+6)^(1/2))^2=(x+6)^2
x+6=x^2+12x+36
0=x^2+11x+30
(-11+(11^2-4(1)(30))^(1/2))/2
(-11+((1)^(1/2))/2
(-11+1)/2=-5
(-11-1)/2=-6
((-6)+6)^1/2-5=(-6)+1
(0^(1/2))-5=-5
-6 is non-extraneous
((-5)+6)^1/2-5=(-5)+1
(1^1/2)-5=-4
1-5=-4
-4=-4
-5 is non-extraneous

The gradient of the line y= -2x -3​
N76 [4]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is written in y=mx+c form, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

In this case, your m is a -2 and your c is a -3.

Hence the gradient of the line is -2.
