Answer:
y = (x - 2)² + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the equation in vertex form use the method of completing the square.
Add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 4x
y = x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4 + 13
= (x - 2)² + 9 ← in vertex form
I hope this helps you
9/9+18=x/x+10
9/27=x/x+10
1/3=x/x+10
3x=x+10
x=5
The Pythagorean theorem can be used for this.
.. (tip distance)² = (shadow length)² + (tree height)²
.. tree height = √((tip distance)² -(shadow length)²)
.. tree height = √((60 ft)² -(40 ft)²) = √(2000 ft²)
.. tree height ≈ 44.72 ft
