Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As x = 0 is a zero, (x + 0) is a factor.
Dividing the equation by (x + 0) leaves x² - 9x + 20.
Factoring this polynomial
x² - 9x + 20 = (x - 4)(x - 5)
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
The zeros are at 0, 4, and 5.
Which can be verified by using a plotting calculator.
Answer:
Let the distance between woman and pole be "x".
From diagram,
In ΔOAB,
tan 18 =
tan 18 =
∴ x = ................ (1)
In ΔOBC
tan 14 =
tan 14 =
y = x × tan 14 ..............(2)
equating (2) in (1), we get;
x =
x =
∵ tan 18 + tan 14 = 0.574
<em>∴ x = 113.2 ft</em>
<em>i.e. The her distance from the pole is 113.2 ft.</em>
