At a certain time of day, a 5.5 foot tall man has a 6 foot shadow. if a tree is 19.25 feet tall, what is the length of the shadow of the tree(x=shadow of the tree)

the equation for the problem is...
5.5/6=19.25/x
you then multiply the denominators on both sides...
5.5x=19.25*6
you then solve on one side...
5.5x=115.5
and then divide 5.5 on both sides to leave x alone...
x=21
the shadow of the tree is 21

What is the General form of the parabola of (y-3)^2=6(x+8)
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

x = 1.5t^{2}  , y = 3 + 2at.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the parabola Y^{2} = 4aX ,

General form will be

(X = at^{2} , Y = 2at) ,

Thus , for the parabola (y-3)^{2} = 6(x +8)

Here , a = 1.5 and Y from the above equation should be substituted by y - 3 and X must be substituted by x + 8. After substitution of the same we can  use the general equation formula for this parabola also.

Thus , general equation comes out to be :-

x + 8 = 1.5t^{2} , y - 3 = 2at

x = 1.5t^{2}  , y = 3 + 2at.

Answer:

f(n)=-5-3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the recursive formula of a sequence

f(1)=−8

f(n)=f(n−1)−3

We are to determine an explicit formula for the sequence.

f(2)=f(2-1)-3

=f(1)-3

=-8-3

f(2)=-11

f(3)=f(3-1)-3

=f(2)-3

=-11-3

f(3)=-14

We write the first few terms of the sequence.

-8, -11, -14, ...

This is an arithmetic sequence where the:

First term, a= -8

Common difference, d=-11-(-8)=-11+8

d=-3

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is determined using the formula:

T(n)=a+(n-1)d

Substituting the derived values, we have:

T(n)=-8-3(n-1)

=-8-3n+3

T(n)=-5-3n

Therefore, the explicit formula for f(n) can be written as:

f(n)=-5-3n

Given f(x)=2a^2b+3a^3b^2+2a^2b^4 what is the degree?
lilavasa [31]
We have the following function:
 f (x) = 2a ^ 2b + 3a ^ 3b ^ 2 + 2a ^ 2b ^ 4
 We note that the function depends on x because it is f (x).
 However, there is no variable x in the function.
 Therefore we can assume that the function is constant, since:
 a = constant
 b = constant
 Therefore, the degree of the function is zero
 Answer:
 
The function is zero degree.
