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

The table below represents a linear function f(x), and the equation represents a function g(x): X) -1, 0, 1 F(x) -5, -1, 3 G(x)=
TiliK225 [7]
F(x) = 4x - 1. You can get this by using the slope formula and then point-slope form. 

1. The slope of f(x) is twice as steep as that of g(x).

2. The y intercept of g(x) is much greater than that of f(x) because 8>-1
