Using the concept of proportionality we shall  solve for the unknown altitude as follows:
let the measure of the altitude be x:
24/16=x/6
solving for x we get:
x=24/16*6
x=9 feet
Answer: 9 feet

Answer:

5x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3

*4x-5

=8x-15

Now you find the area of the white region

3x+2

*2-8

=3x+16

Now you subtract

8x-15

-3x+16

=5x+1

Using the Factor Theorem, the polynomials are given as follows:

1. P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2

2. P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

3. P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

<h3>What is the Factor Theorem?</h3>

The Factor Theorem states that a polynomial function with roots x_1, x_2, \codts, x_n is given by:

f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x - x_2) \cdots (x - x_n)

In which a is the leading coefficient.

Item a:

The parameters are:

a = 1, x_1 = x_2 = 1, x_3 = x_4 = 0, x_5 = -4

Hence the equation is:

P(x) = (x - 1)²x²(x + 4)

P(x) = (x² - 2x + 1)(x + 4)x²

P(x) = (x³ + 2x² - 7x + 1)x²

P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2

Item b:

The roots are:

x_1 = x_2 = 4, x_3 = 0, x_4 = -4

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 4)²x(x + 4)

P(x) = a(x² - 16)x(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x³ - 16x)(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

It passes through the point x = 5, P(x) = 36, hence:

45a = 36.

a = 4/5

a = 0.8

Hence:

P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

Item 3:

The roots are:

x_1 = x_2 = 3, x_3 = -2

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 3)²(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x² - 6x + 9)(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

For the y-intercept, x = 0, y = -1.8, hence:

18a = -1.8 -> a = -0.1

Thus the function is:

P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

The expression 1.5*1.09 models the housing costs, in thousands of dollars, for summer term t years since Chinedu applied to his
Alex777 [14]

Answer: Multiplicative rate of change in housing costs, for summer term t years since Chinedu applied to his college.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 1.5\times1.09^t models the housing costs, in thousands of dollars, for summer term t years since Chinedu applied to his college.

Since, the above expression is an exponential function. [ t is the exponent ]

The standard exponential function is given by :-

y=Ab^x, A is the initial amount , b is the multiplicative rate of change with respect to time period x.

as compare to the given expression, we get b= 1.09, which is the multiplicative rate of change in the housing costs, for summer term t years since Chinedu applied to his college.

nalin [4]
Here is your answer

B) 1/125

REASON:

Given,

F (x)={(1/5)}^{x}

for F (3)

Putting x=3, in above function we get

F (3)= {(1/5)}^{3}= 1/125
