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

Can somebody help teach me how to solve quadratic equations? I have no idea what to plug in. Here are some examples of what I ne
guapka [62]
The best method that will work for any quadratic equation is to use the quadratic formula: x = (-b±√(b² - 4ac))/2a, this will work for any quadratic of the form ax² + bx + c = 0.

As for the last equation in the attachment, that is a cubic equation, these are much trickier to solve and as such the formula is much longer and very complicated. Therefore it is easier to see if it can be broken down into a linear term and a quadratic. This can be done by substituting integer values of x into the equation to see if it holds true. If both sides of the equation are equal for a given value of x then the equation ax³ + bx² + cx + d can be rewritten as (Ax + B)(px² + qx + r). This can then be put into the quadratic formula mentioned above.

One year, the population of a city was 201,000. Several years later it was 237,180. Find the percent increase.
exis [7]

Answer:

18%

Step-by-step explanation:

% increase = <u>new population - old </u><u>population</u> x <u>100</u>

old population. 1

% increase = <u>237180 - 201000</u> x <u>100</u>

201000. 1

% increase = <u>36180 x </u><u>100</u>

201000

% increase = <u>3618000</u>

201000

% increase = 18%
