Solve for a: a(a-3) =100

Mathematics

marissa [1.9K]3 years ago
5 0
a(a-3) =100\\
a^2-3a-100=0\\
\Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-100)=9+400=409\\
\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqr{409}\\
a_1=\dfrac{-(-3)-\sqrt{409}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{3-\sqrt{409}}{2}\\
a_2=\dfrac{-(-3)+\sqrt{409}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{3+\sqrt{409}}{2}

An office building casts a 90 foot shadow. At the same time of day, a 5 foot woman standing near the building casts an 8 foot sh
Elenna [48]
Make a ratio: 
<span>
Make sure shadow is in same location on both fractions (either numerator or denominator) </span>

x/90=5/8 

Cross multiply: 

8x=90x5 
8x=450 
<span>
x=56.25 feet </span>

Therefore, the approximate height of the building to the nearest foot would be 56.25 feet.
<span>
That makes sense, too, because the woman's shadow is taller than she is, but is less than double her height. </span>The building shadow is taller than the building, but it's less than double the height of the building.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Find the length of BC. <br> A.) 14<br> B.) 9<br> C.) 2<br> D.) 3
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

BC is congruent to DC in saying this you can plug the equations to each other and solve for y and then put its back into the equation for BC to get the length.

3y+5=5y-1

subtract 3y from both sides --> 5=2y-1

add 1 to both sides --> 6=2y

now get y alone, divide by 2 by both side --> y=3

plug y in back to 5y-1 --> 5x3-1

15-1

BC = 14
