The lamppost and Tad create similar right triangles. Set up a proportion comparing their equivalent sides.


\frac{lamppost height}{lamppost shadow}= \frac{tad height}{tad shadow}


\frac{x}{24} = \frac{6}{15}


Crossmultiply to solve.


24*6 = 15*x

144 = 15x

x = 9.6 feet

Reika [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  

2(x – 4) + 32

Multiply it out.

2 * x - 2 * 4 + 32

2x - 8 + 32  

2x + 24

2)

9x + 4(x + 2) – 5

Multiply it out

9x + 4 * x + 4 * 2 - 5

9x + 4x + 8 - 5

13x + 3

Please Help I have tried and can not get the correct answer
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

(-3, 0) and (1, 0)

(0, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept is the point where y = 0.

y-intercept is the point where x = 0.

or points ...

f(x) = y = -4×|x + 1| + 8

let's start with the y-intercept (x = 0)

y = -4×1 + 8 = -4 + 8 = 4

the y-intercept point (only 1 point) is (0, 4).

for x = 0 the absolute value function contains 0+1. and that is always +1.

the x-intercept(s) :

0 = -4×|x + 1| + 8 (dividing by -4)

0 = |x + 1| - 2

|x + 1| = 2

because of the absolute value we have 2 possibilities :

+(x + 1) = 2

x + 1 = 2

x = 1

and

-(x + 1) = 2

-x - 1 = 2

-x = 3

x = -3

so the points of x-intercept are (-3, 0) and (1, 0)
