Ratio of height of the flag pole to the length of its shadow = 40:9.6 = 25:6
Ratio of height of the building to the length of its shadow = x:48 = 25:6
x/48 = 25/6
x = (48 x 25)/6 = 1200/6 = 200

Therefore, the height of the building is 200 feet.

Simplify the following:
(5 i^3 t^4)/7 - 2
i^3 = i^2×i = (-1) i = -i:
(5×-i t^4)/7 - 2
Put each term in (5 (-i) t^4)/7 - 2 over the common denominator 7:
(5 (-i) t^4)/7 - 2 = (-5 i t^4)/7 - 14/7:
(-5 i t^4)/7 - 14/7
(-5 i t^4)/7 - 14/7 = (-5 i t^4 - 14)/7:
Answer:  (-5 i t^4 - 14)/7
