Answer:

  • 103 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A pole, its shadow and a tower with its shadow form similar right triangles

Let the tower be x m tall

<u>Then as per similarity we have the ratio of corresponding sides:</u>

  • 47.75/1.53 = x/3.3
  • x = 3.3*47.75/1.53
  • x = 103 m rounded to nearest meter

Jeanne Crawford had $9,675.95 deposited in an account paying
Anni [7]

Answer:

a. $10,943.30

b. $1,267.35

Step-by-step explanation:

P = $9,675.95

r = 6.25% = 0.0625

t = Compounded Semiannually = 2

a. Amount after 2 Years

n = 2

A = P [1 + (r / n)]^nt

A = $9,675.95 [1 + (0.0625 / 2)]² ˣ ²

A = $9,675.95 [1 + 0.03125]⁴

A = $9,675.95 [1.03125]⁴

A = $9,675.95 x 1.130982

A = $10,943.30

b. Compound Interest

Compound Interest = Final Amount - Principal Amount

Compound Interest = $10,943.30 - $9,675.95

Compound Interest = $1,267.35

Emmy throws a doggy toy up in the air. The path of the toy is modeled by the function f(x)=−x^2+4x+5, where x is the number of f
Molodets [167]

Answer:

9feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the path of the toy modeled by the function f(x)=−x^2+4x+5, where x is the number of feet the toy is from Emmy and f(x) is the height of the toy.

AT maximum height, the velocity of the toy will be zero. Hence;

df(x)/dx = 0

-2x + 4 = 0

-2x = -4

x = -4/-2

x = 2

Get the maximum height;

Substitute x = 2 into the given function;

f(x)=−x^2+4x+5

f(2)=−2^2+4(2)+5

f(2) = -4+8+5

f(2) = 9feet

Hence the maximum height of the toy is 9feet
