Mr. and Mrs. McClurrie are debating on whether or not to remove a tall tree in their front yard. Mr. McClurrie is concerned that

the tree could fall during a storm and land on their home. Mrs. McClurrie disagrees. She thinks the tree poses no danger to their home and wants to keep the tree because of the wonderful shade it provides. They decide to estimate the height of the tree using special right triangles. They stood 25 feet from the base of the tree to create a 30° angle from the ground to the top of the tree. If their home is 20 feet from the base of the tree, could the McClurrie's wait a few more years before cutting down the tree or does it pose a risk now?

Tanα=y/x

y=xtanα, we are told that x=25ft and α=30°

y=25tan30° ft

y≈14.43 ft  (to nearest hundredth of a foot)

Since their home is 20 feet from the base of the tree, it poses no risk right now.

Answer:

If using one pound of pumpkin the baker needs to use 4 pounds of flour mixture

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: I am going to convert the measurements

into decimals

8/5=1.6

2/5=.4

step 2: I will use cross multiplication to find out how much pumpkin for one pound of flour

1.6=.4

 1=?

1*.4=.4/1.6=.25

step 3:  I will convert .25 into a fraction

.25=1/4

for every 1/4 pound pumpkin, I will use 1 pound of flour

which is why

If using one pound of pumpkin the baker needs to use 4 pounds of flour mixture

If f x is a linear function, f(-1)=3, and f(1)=5, find an equation for f(x)
BartSMP [9]

The equation of f(x) is f(x) = x + 4

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The given parameters are

f(-1) = 3 and f(1) = 5

Start by calculating the slope (m) using:

m = \frac{f(1) - f(-1)}{1 - -1}

This gives

m = \frac{5 - 3}{1 + 1}

Evaluate

m = 1

The equation is then calculated as;

f(x) = m(x - x1) + f(-1)

This gives

f(x) = 1(x + 1) + 3

Expand

f(x) = x + 4

Hence, the equation of f(x) is f(x) = x + 4
