We use the proportion for this case the pole and the tree with their shadows has the same shape forming a right triangle.
We use the ratio of the two triangles and equate them as

h1/s1 = h2/s2

where
h1 and s1 are the height and the length of a shadow of the pole,
and the other h2 and s2 are for the tree

Identify all the given values.
5 ft / 2 ft = (h2) / 10 ft
h2 = 25 ft
Therefore the height of the tree "h2" is 25 ft.

Write the name of the period that has the digits 913.
sergejj [24]

The name of period that has the digits 913 is hundreds.<span>
Because Period is considered to a group of places of the digits.</span>

In this case, the given number is 913 and it is the group of hundred because 900 is the highest number it contains.

We can also write 913 as 

913 = 900 + 10 + 3

It means,

<span>9 hundreds + 10 tens + 3 ones</span>

Which of the following functions have only one point that is not in the domain? Select all that apply. (There are 2 answers)
densk [106]

Answer:

  B.  f(x) = 3/(x^2 +2x +1)

  E.  f(x) = 5/(3+x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The above functions have denominators that are zero at one point. For B, that point is x=-1; for E, that point is x=-3. When the denominator is zero, the function is undefined, so the corresponding x-value must be excluded from the domain.

__

As written, choice D also qualifies. This is because the function written in the answer list here is ...

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x^2}+5x+4

It will be undefined for x=0.

_____

<em>Comment on writing rational functions</em>

When the division symbol (/ or ÷) is used with a denominator that is a product or sum, that product or sum must be enclosed in parentheses. When the expression is typeset, the division bar acts as a grouping symbol. When the expression is written in text, a grouping symbol, such as parentheses, must be added.

Sonja uses 8 of the 12 eggs in her dozen eggs to make a breakfast casserole. Olga uses 5/6 of a dozen eggs to make scrambled egg
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Olga will use 10 eggs, while Sonja will use 8, thus Olga will use more eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sonja uses 8 of the 12 eggs in her dozen eggs to make a breakfast casserole, while Olga uses 5/6 of a dozen eggs to make scrambled eggs, the following calculations must be performed to determine who uses more eggs:

Sonja = 8/12 = 0.666 x 12 = 8

Olga = 5/6 = 0.83333 x 12 = 10

Therefore, Olga will use 10 eggs, while Sonja will use 8, thus Olga will use more eggs.
