Answer:

The lead statue is 87 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the height of the lead statue

using proportion

we know that

The height of the  lead statue divided by the length of his shadow must be equal to the height of the tourist divided by the length of his shadow.

so

\frac{x}{43.5}=\frac{64}{32}\\\\\frac{x}{43.5}=2\\\\x=2(43.5)\\\\x=87\ in

A _[blank 1]_ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has other factors besides 1 and itself, it is called
kykrilka [37]

Numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

Given a paragraph in which there are blanks:

A _____ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has  factors besides 1 and itself, it is called a _____. You can use divisibility rules or _______ to help you determine whether a number is prime or composite.

We are required to fill the blank with appropriate options.

We have to fill "prime numbers" in the first blank.

We have to fill "composite numbers" in the second blank.

We have to fill "the sieve of Eratosthenes" in the third blank.

Hence numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

The variables A, B, and C represent polynomials where A=x^2, B=3x+2, and C=x-3. What is AB-C^2 in simplest form?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

AB-C^2 = 3x^3 + x^2 + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi

AB = (x^2)*(3x+2)= 3x^3 + 2x^2

C^2= (x-3)^2 = x^2 - 9

So

AB-C^2 = 3x^3 + 2x^2 - x^2 + 9 = 3x^3 + x^2 + 9

If ac =14 find the value of x then find ab and bc
Igoryamba

Answer:

If B is between A and C, AB = x, BC = 2x + 2, and AC = 14, find the value of x. Then find AB and BC.

Step-by-step explanation:

AB=x

BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2

AC =14AC=14

Required

Determine x, AB and BC.

Since B is between A and C;

AB + BC = ACAB+BC=AC

Substitute x for AB; 2x + 2 for BC and 14 for AC

x + 2x + 2 = 14x+2x+2=14

3x + 2 = 143x+2=14

Collect Like Terms

3x = 14 - 23x=14−2

3x = 123x=12 '

x = \frac{12}{3}x=

3

12

x = 4x=4

Substitute 4 for x in

AB = xAB=x

BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2

AB = 4AB=4

BC = 2(4) + 2BC=2(4)+2

BC = 8 + 2BC=8+2

BC = 10BC=10

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the graph?
Naddik [55]

The slope is the change in y over the change in x.

The first number in the parentheses is the x value, the second number is the y value.

Slope = (0-3) / (4-0)

Slope = -3/4

The y intercept is the y value when x is 0.

The given point (0,3) has x as 0, so the y intercept would be 3

Answers: slope = -3/4, y intercept = 3
