Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
The <em>quadratic</em> function g(x) = (x - 5)² + 1 passes through the points (2, 10) and (8, 10) and has a vertex at (5, 1).
<h3>How to analyze quadratic equations</h3>
In this question we have a graph of a <em>quadratic</em> equation translated to another place of a <em>Cartesian</em> plane, whose form coincides with the <em>vertex</em> form of the equation of the parabola, whose form is:
g(x) = C · (x - h)² - k (1)
Where:
- (h, k) - Vertex coordinates
- C - Vertex constant
By direct comparison we notice that (h, k) = (5, 1) and C = 1. Now we proceed to check if the points (x, y) = (2, 10) and (x, y) = (8, 10) belong to the parabola.
x = 2
g(2) = (2 - 5)² + 1
g(2) = 10
x = 8
g(8) = (8 - 5)² + 1
g(8) = 10
The <em>quadratic</em> function g(x) = (x - 5)² + 1 passes through the points (2, 10) and (8, 10) and has a vertex at (5, 1).
