Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
A billboard is 27 feet high and casts a 36-foot shadow at noon.
Height of billboard = 27 feet
Height of shadow of billboard = 36 feet
A fir tree next to the billboard casts a 48-foot shadow.
Height of shadow of fir tree = 48 foot
Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The roots of the polynomial are the values of x when the value of the polynomial f(x) is equal to zero
The roots of the polynomial function are
x=-6 -----> (x+6)=0
x=-5 -----> (x+5)=0
x=-1 -----> (x+1)=0
The equation of the cubic polynomial is
where
a is the leading coefficient
Remember that
f(0)=60
That means ------> For x=0 the value of f(x) is equal to 60
substitute the value of x and the value of y in the function and solve for a
so
Applying the distributive property
Convert to expanded form
