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

Answer:

  D.  Minimum at (3, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can add and subtract the square of half the x-coefficient:

  y = x^2 -6x +(-6/2)^2 +16 -(-6/2)^2

  y = (x -3)^2 +7 . . . . . simplify to vertex form

Comparing this to the vertex for for vertex (h, k) ...

  y = (x -h)^2 +k

We find the vertex to be ...

  (3, 7) . . . . vertex

The coefficient of x^2 is positive (+1), so the parabola opens upward and the vertex is a minimum.
