30 ft. tall. You must find the ratios and compare. 2/20=3/x The best way I know to do this is to cross multiply. 2 times x and 20 times 3. So, 2x= 60. Divide by 2 and you get x =30. The height of the tree would be 30 ft. You could also find the proportion. 20/2= 10, so the height,x, over 3 would be equal to 10. 3 times 10 is equal to 30.
(a) Using the completing the square method, we need to write into the form of where , so
Expand to find the value of c
Notice that we get back the first two terms, the and the .We need to get rid of the last term of '9' as the term was not in the original form. The final form will look like
Hence,
(b)
(c) , square root both sides plus and minus of 2 Hence
Step-by-step explanation:
3 is cross multiplication
2 is proportion
and 1 is equal
