Answer:

The tall of the flag pole is 51 ft answer (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The tall of the man = 6 ft

∵ The his shadow = 10 ft

∵ The shadow of the flag pole = 85 ft

∵ Tall of the man/tall of the flag = shadow of the man/shadow

of the flag

∴ 6/x = 10/85 ⇒ where x is the tall of the flag

∴ x = (6 × 85) ÷ 10 = 510 ÷ 10 = 51 ft

∴ The tall of the flag pole is 51 ft

Answer:

A. 9.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

first convert the degrees to radians:

80° x (pi/180) ≈ 1.396

arc length = r x θ (always in radians)

= 7 x 1.396

= 9.772 ≈ 9.8 ft

Find the points on the curve where the tangent is horizontal or vertical. If you have a graphing device, graph the curve to chec

klasskru [66]

Answer:

There is a horizontal tangent at (0,-4)

The tangent is vertical at (-2,-3) and (2,-3).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is defined parametrically by the equations:

$x=t^3-3t$

and

$y=t^2-4$

The tangent function is given by:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{\frac{dx}{dt} }$

$\implies \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2t}{3t^2-3}$

The tangent is vertical at when $\frac{dx}{dt}=0$

$\implies \frac{3t^2-3}{2t}=0$

$\implies 3t^2-3=0$

$\implies 3t^2=3$

$\implies t^2=1$

$\implies t=\pm1$

When t=1,

$x=1^3-3(1)=-2$ and $y=1^2-4=-3$

When t=-1,

$x=(-1)^3-3(-1)=2$ and $y=(-1)^2-4=-3$

The tangent is vertical at (-2,-3) and (2,-3).

The tangent is horizontal, when $\frac{dy}{dx}=0$ or $\frac{dy}{dt}=0$

$\implies 2t=0$

$\implies t=0$

When t=0,

$x=0^3-3(0)=0$ and $y=0^2-4=-4$

There is a horizontal tangent at (0,-4)

Degree 4; zeros: -4+5i, -1 multiplicity 2

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$f(x) = [x^{2} + 8x + 41](x + 1)^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If -4 + 5i is a root of a polynomial, then it's conjugate -4 - 5i will also be a root of the same polynomial.

Therefore, the polynomial has 4 degree, and zeroes are (- 4 + 5i), (- 4 - 5i) and -1 with multiplicity 2.

Hence, the polynomial will be

$f(x) = (x + 4 - 5i)(x + 4 + 5i)(x + 1)^{2}$

⇒ $f(x) = [x^{2} + 8x + (4 - 5i)(4 + 5i)] (x + 1)^{2}$

⇒ $f(x) = [x^{2} + 8x + 41](x + 1)^{2}$ (Answer)
