Regardless of the sign of

, we have

(never negative). But multiplying by -1 makes it negative.
On the other hand,

which can never be negative for real

.
Answer: The height of each fir tree is 9 meters, and the height of each pine tree is 12 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= height of each fir tree, y = height of each pine tree.
As per given, we have
x+y = 21 (i)
4x=y+24 (ii)
From (ii),
(iii)
Add (i) and (iii), we get

Put value of x in (i), we get

Hence, the height of each fir tree is 9 meters, and the height of each pine tree is 12 meters.
It is probably 0,2,4,6 because other ones go "out of the sequence".
Hope this helps. :)
That is the answer Y=x^-8x12, xER
In triangle ABC,
AC = 12/ (sin30) = 12 / (1/2) = 24
DC = 24-x
DB = DC tan 30 = (24-x) tan30 <span>=(24−x)/</span><span>√3
</span>
In triangle ADB using Pythagorean Theorem<span><span>x2</span>+((24−x)/<span>√3</span><span>)2</span>=<span>12^2</span></span><span><span>x2</span>+(24−x<span>)^2</span>/3=<span>12^2</span></span><span>3<span>x2</span>+(24−x<span>)^2</span>=432</span><span>4<span>x2</span>−48x+576=432</span><span>4<span>x2</span>−48x+144=0</span><span><span><span>x2</span>−12x+36=0
x1 = x2 =6
AD = AC - DC = 24- (24-x) = 6</span></span>
