In order to estimate the height of a building, two students stand at a certain distance from the building at street level. from

this point, they find the angle of elevation from the street to the top of the building to be 39°. they then move 300 feet closer to the building and find the angle of elevation to be 50°. assuming that the street is level, estimate the height of the building to the nearest foot

Let h represent the height of the building. Then the difference between the two angle measurement locations is
.. h/tan(39°) -h/tan(50°) = 300 ft
.. h = (300 ft)/(1/tan(39°) -1/tan(50°))
.. h ≈ 758 ft

The height of the building is about 758 feet.

Find a polynomial f(x) of degree 3 that has the following zeros.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

f (x) = x (x + 5) (x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of the polynomial are all the values of x for which the function f (x) = 0

In this case we know that the zeros are:

x = 9,\  x-9 =0

x = 0

x = -5, x + 5 = 0

Now we can write the polynomial as a product of its factors

f (x) = x (x + 5) (x-9)

Note that the polynomial is of degree 3 because the greatest exponent of the variable x that results from multiplying the factors of f (x) is 3

Factors of 72

= 2 x 36

= 2 x 2 x 18

= 2 x 2 x 2 x 9

= 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

Factors of 48

= 2 x 24

= 2 x 2 x 12

= 2 x 2 x 2 x 6

= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

Common Factors = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

HCF = 24

Ans : 24

I hope It's helpful!!
