There is no restriction on the domain because there is a cube root for all real values positive or negative. So you can solve this as there are no extraneous solutions...

Cube both sides...

2x-4=-8

2x=-4

x=-2

At a certain time of the day, a tree 15 m tall casts a shadow of 12 m, while a second tree casts a shadow of 20 m. How tall is t

Anna35 [415]

We can write a proportion: 15 m is to 12 m as some other height $h$ is to 20 m

So we get
$\frac{15}{12}=\frac{h}{20}$
$\rightarrow 15*20=12h$
$\rightarrow 12h=300$
$\rightarrow h=25$

So the second tree is 25 m tall.

PLEASE EXPLAIN I wil give brainiest

Advocard [28]

Answer: (-2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection over the x-axis: (x, y) → (x, -y)

(-2, 2) → (-2, -2)

x would remain the same but the y would turn negative since we're reflecting over the x-axis. The x never changes in this situation but since we're flipping it over the x-axis, they y has to be negative.

Hope this helps!
