The height of the kangaroo is 4 feet and it's shadow is 9 feet. The relationship between the kangaroo and its shadow is 4/9. This has to be equal to that of the eucalyptus tree. The relationship of the eucalyptus tree is x/36.
4/9=x/36

You can either solve for x by realizing that in order to get from 9 to 36, you multiply by 4 and therefore have to multiply 4 by 4 to get x.
Or you can solve for x by cross multiplication. 36(4)=144. You then divide 144 by 9.

Either way, x = 16 and the height of the tree is 16 feet.

If f(1) = 2 and f(n) = f(n − 1)2 + 3 then find the value of f(3).
blondinia [14]

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

f(n) is purely based on the previous value of f(n), or f(n-1), so we can start with f(1) and work our way up. We know f(1) = 2, so to find f(2), we plug f(1) into

f(n-1)²+3 to get

f(1)²+3 = 2²+3 = 4+3=7

Thus, f(2) =7. Similarly,

f(3) = f(3-1)²+3 = f(2)² + 3 -= 7² + 3= 52

Sweatshirt with new school logo cost 22.50 ,plus tax the tax is over 0.06 for every dollar spend.what is the tax on the sweatshi
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find tax on something you multiply the base price by the tax percentage.  So if something is 100 dollars and tax is 5 percent (or .05 in decimal form), you would add 5 dollars to the price.  because 100*.05=5.

If we assume 6% as the tax then we multiply 22.50*.06 = 1.35, so you will add 1.35 to the price.  That means the new price is 22.50 + 1.35 = 23.85.

It's just asking for what the tax is though so the answer is 1.35 at 6%.  The question does say the tax is over 6% though, so that means the tax will only go up from there if the tax is over 6%
