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!

Write the equations for the basic absolute value equation y=|x-h|+k under the given transformations:
BlackZzzverrR [31]
<span>Left & Right affect the h,
Up & Down affect the k,
Shrink & Stretch affect the "a" (which is in front of the absolute value expression).

1. shift 1 unit to the right and up 2 units → y = |x-1| + 2
2. </span><span>shift 3 units to the left and 7 units down → y = |x + 7| - 7
3. </span><span>vertical shrink by a factor of 1/3 → y = \frac{1}{3}|x|
4. </span><span>vertical stretch by a factor of 3 → y = </span><span>3 |x|</span>

Can someone help me with this

2. The graph moves up 4 units. (See the blue line in the graph below.)

The domain is unchanged. (The function is still defined for all x.)

The range went from [0, ∞) to [4, ∞), since 4 was added to the minimum value.
