I’m pretty sure that it’s b
1. "the graph has the same zeros" : so let a be the "triple" root of the cubic polynomial function.
2. So f(x)=
3. Don't forget that the expression might have a coefficient b as well, and still maintain the conditions:
4. Now, f(0)=-5 so
5. the function is
where a can be any real number except 0
Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.
2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x
A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)
The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150
So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.
A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625
So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.
Using similarity principle, the height of the tree is 1.97 meters
<h3>How to find height of the tree?</h3>
He is 1.75 meters tall.
His shadow = 33.7 meters
The length of the tree shadows = 37.95 meters
Using similarity principles where the corresponding length are a ratio of each other.
Therefore,
1.75 / x = 33.7 / 37.95
cross multiply
37.95 × 1.75 = 33.7x
66.4125 = 33.7x
divide both sides by 33.7
x = 66.4125 / 33.7
x = 1.97069732938
x = 1.97 meters
