This is the concept of geometry, the height of the tree will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
theta=24
opposite=h
adjacent=26m
thus;
tan 24=h/26
hence;
h=26tan24
h=10.29
=10 m

Grade 8 math question plz show work
Nimfa-mama [501]
A. The population would be 120

You would find 20 percent of 100
To do that, you do 100× 0.2 and add that to 100

B. The population doubles

10×2= 20
20×2= 40, not 30

hope this helps!

If f(x) = 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x -26 and x-1 is a factor of f(x) find all of the zeros of f(x) algebraically.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First confirm that x = 1 is one of the zeros.

f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 14(1)^2 + 38(1) - 26

f(1) = 2 - 14 + 38 - 26

f(1) = -12 + 38 = + 26

f(1) = 26 - 26

f(1) = 0

=========================

next perform a long division

x -1  || 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x - 26 || 2x^2 - 12x + 26

          2x^3 - 2x^2

          ===========

                    -12x^2 + 28x

                     -12x^2 +12x

                     ==========

                                  26x -26

                                  26x - 26

                                 ========

                                      0

Now you can factor 2x^2 - 12x + 26

                                 2(x^2 - 6x + 13)

The discriminate of the quadratic is negative. (36 - 4*1*13) = - 16

So you are going to get a complex result.

x = -(-6) +/- sqrt(-16)

     =============

                 2

x  = 3 +/- 2i

f(x) = 2*(x - 1)*(x - 3 + 2i)*(x - 3 - 2i)

The zeros are

1

3 +/- 2i
