Answer:
3 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
If we draw this out, we'll see that there are actually two similar right triangles (see attachment), which means that we can set up a proportion.
The height of the lookout tower corresponds to the height of the wooden column, while the shadow of the lookout tower corresponds to the shadow of the wooden column. We can then write:
(height of lookout tower) / (shadow of tower) = (height of column) / (shadow of column)
16 / 12 = 4 / x , where x is the shadow / unknown we want to find
Cross-multiply:
16x = 48
x = 3
The answer is thus 3 metres.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The <u><em>conjugate root theorem</em></u> states that if the complex number a + bi is a root of a polynomial P(x) in one variable with real coefficients, then the complex conjugate a - bi is also a root of that polynomial
In this problem we have that
The polynomial has roots 1 and (1+i)
so
by the conjugate root theorem
(1-i) is also a root of the polynomial
therefore
The lowest degree of the polynomial is 3
so
Remember that
The leading coefficient is 1
so
a=1
