Answer:

8 (7.94)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can think of it as a geometry problem.

What is formed here is a triangle, which sides ate: the line, the line's shadow, and the height from the ground to the kite (here I attach a drawing).

What you need to find is the height. We will call it H.

As the triangle formed is a right one, we can use Pitágoras' theorem. The height H squared plus the squared of the shadow is equal to the squared of the line (the hypotenuse). This is:

H^2 + 9^2 = 12^2

H^2 + 81= 144

H^2 = 63

Applying squared root in both sides

H = √63

H = 7,94

So, the height is approximately 8.

Given:

The limit problem is:

\lim_{x\to 3}(x^2+8x-2)

To find:

The limit of the function by using direct substitution.

Solution:

We have,

\lim_{x\to 3}(x^2+8x-2)

Applying limit, we get

\lim_{x\to 3}(x^2+8x-2)=(3)^2+8(3)-2

\lim_{x\to 3}(x^2+8x-2)=9+24-2

\lim_{x\to 3}(x^2+8x-2)=33-2

\lim_{x\to 3}(x^2+8x-2)=31

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Replace * with a monomial in such a way, that the trinomial becomes a perfect square. *+12x+1
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: * = 36x^2

Note: Im guessing you're here for rsm struggles. That's how I found this question. I searched the web for the answer to this rsm problem, but I couldnt find it. I was happy to find this brainly link, but annoyed to find it was unanswered. I did the problem, and now i'll help future rsm strugglers out. Thanks for posting this question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we know that trinomials like this are squares of binomials. this in mind, we know that it can also be written as (x+y)^2. (also brainly's exponents feature used to be better, if the exponents are confusing you, comment.) Using the (x+y)^2 equation, you know that by simplifying it, you get x^2+2xy+y^2. Basically we're looking for x^2. Using the middle term, 2xy, or 12x in this equation, we can find x. since we know the square root of 1 is 1, we know 12=2x. This is kinda confusing, but basically since the answer is 6, we know that the x-term is 6x. We square 6x and get 36x^2. guaranteed to work on the rsm student portal, i'm in rsm and i just answered this question.

Hope this helps! Also, im not usually too active on brainly unless im looking for HW answers, so if you understand this explanation and you see a confused comment, help out a friend and answer it. Happy holidays!
