The equation you can use to solve the problem is;
50/30 = 300/x
Next Cross Multiply
50x = 9000
x = 9000/50
x = 180
The building's shadow is 180 feet tall
I believe this is how that exponential function would look as a graph (if you need a better pic let me know)
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
<h3>Answer: The number does <u>not</u> change</h3>
Removing the zero from 0.76 leads to .76 which is the same as before. Both lead to
in scientific notation.
Personally I prefer the zero up front to make the decimal point stand out easier. Of course it's just a preference, so its up to you to decide which you prefer.
===========================================
Question 2:
<h3>Answer: Yes the number changes</h3>
Taking the zero out of 10.25 leads to 1.25 which is definitely a different number (and smaller). Therefore, this zero is a significant digit compared to before.
