Answer:

<em><u>36 feet</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the tall person's shadow as a ratio to help us witht his problem.

The ratio would be 6:8

Once we know how tall the shadow cast is, we can divide that by<em> 8</em> to be within the same ratio.

<u>48 / 8 = 6</u>

<u />

Then once we do that we multiply that by <em>6</em>

<u>6 x 6 = 36</u>

And there we go, that's the answer.

Find the solutions of the quadratic equation 14x^2+9x+10=014x
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option B. x=-\frac{9}{28}(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{479}}{28}i

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

14x^{2}+9x+10=0

so

a=14\\b=9\\c=10

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-9(+/-)\sqrt{9^{2}-4(14)(10)}} {2(14)}

x=\frac{-9(+/-)\sqrt{-479}} {28}

Remember that

i=\sqrt{-1}

substitute

x=\frac{-9(+/-)\sqrt{479}i} {28}  

x=-\frac{9}{28}(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{479}}{28}i

1. a line with a slope of 1/3 passes through the point (3, 6) . which point also lies on this line?
valentina_108 [34]

1) Substituting into point-slope form, the equation of the line is y-6=⅓(x-3), which rearranges to:

  • y-6 = ⅓x - 1
  • y = ⅓x + 5

So, we can now substitute in the coordinates of each of the options to see which point lies on the line.

  1. 3 = ⅓(6) + 5 -> 3 = 7, which is false.
  2. 6 = ⅓(7) + 5 -> 6 = 22/3, which is false.
  3. -3 = ⅓(-3) + 5 -> -3 = 4, which is false.
  4. 3 = ⅓(-6) + 5 -> 3 = 3, which is true.

So, the answer is (4) (-6, 3)

2) Substituting into point-slope form, the equation of the line is y - 5 = ¾(x-2), which rearranges to:

  • y - 5 = 0.75x - 1.5
  • y = 0.75x + 3.5

So, we can now substitute in the coordinates of each of the options to see which point lies on the line.

  1. 8 = 0.75(6)+3.5 -> 8 = 8, which is true.
  2. 9 = 0.75(5) + 3.5 -> 9 = 7.25, which is false.
  3. 1 = 0.75(-1) + 3.5 -> 1 = 2.75, which is false.
  4. 2 = 0.75(6) + 3.5 -> 2 = 8, which is false.

So, the answer is (1) (6, 8).
