Josie's height = 5 ft 6 in. = 5 1/2 ft = 11/2 ft.
Josie's shadow = 6 ft.

Ratio of shadow to height = 6 / 11/2 = 12/11
So, It would be equal to ratio of building's shadow to building's height.

18/x = 12/11
x = 18*11 /12
x = 3*11 / 2
x = 16.5

In short, Your Answer would be 16.5 Feet

Hope this helps!

Find the zeros of the following polynomial.<br> 3x3 + 9x2 - 12x
Arada [10]
x = 4
x = -1
x = 0

Equation at the end of step 1 :

((3 • (x3)) - 32x2) - 12x = 0
Step 2 :

Equation at the end of step 2 :

(3x3 - 32x2) - 12x = 0
Step 3 :

Step 4 :

Pulling out like terms :

4.1 Pull out like factors :

3x3 - 9x2 - 12x = 3x • (x2 - 3x - 4)

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

4.2 Factoring x2 - 3x - 4

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -3x its coefficient is -3 .
The last term, "the constant", is -4

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -4 = -4

Step-2 : Find two factors of -4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -3 .

-4 + 1 = -3 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -4 and 1
x2 - 4x + 1x - 4

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-4)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (x-4)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+1) • (x-4)
Which is the desired factorization

What is the square root of y^3
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

y^{\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m=\sqrt{y^3}

m=(y^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\m=y^{3\times \frac{1}{2}}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [as\ (x^a)^b=x^{ab}]\\\\m=y^{\frac{3}{2}
