The most appropriate choice for similarity of triangles will be given by -
Speed of tip of the shadow of woman = 6 ft/s
What are similar triangles?
Two triangles are said to be similar, if the corrosponding angles of the triangles are same and the corrosponding sides of the triangles are in the same ratio.
Here,
The diagram has been attached here
Let the distance of woman from the pole be x ft and the distance of tip of the shadow to the pole be y ft.
Height of street light = 18 ft
Height of woman = 6ft
The two triangles are similar [As height of woman is parallel to the height of pole]
To find the speed, we have to differentiate both sides with respect to time 't'
Speed of tip of her shadow = 6 ft

Answer:
y=-3/2x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the slope by taking two points on the graph, and making the one that occurs earlier in the graph (from left to right) the first point (x1, y1) and the one that occurs later in the graph the second point (x2, y2). The equation is m (or slope)=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). I took the first two points in the table for this. m=(12-18)/-4-(-8)
the double negative on the bottom becomes an addition=> (12-18)/(-4+8)
the top simplifies to be -6 and the bottom simplifies to 4=>-6/4
this fraction can be reduced to -3/2, which is the slope of the graph.
Now, use point slope form (y-y1=m(x-x1)) to find the equation of the graph. Plug any coordinate on the graph in for x1 and y1 here. It should be correct as long as it is a point on the graph, but I am using the point (-8, 18) here.
=>y-18=-3/2(x-(-8))
the double negative in the parentheses becomes a positive=> y-18=-3/2(x+8)
distribute the -3/2 to every term in the parentheses=> y-18=-3/2x-12
add 18 to both sides, cancelling out the -18 on the left side of the equation=>y=-3/2x+6 (-12+18=6 to get 6 for b).
Therefore, the equation is y=-3/2x+6
This is a 45-45-90 triangle or a right triangle created by the sides.
Because of this being a right triangle and 45 degrees being given already for one angle you would add 90 and 45 which will give you 135. You would subtract 135 from 180 because all the angles of a triangle add up to 180°. 180-135=45. X=45°
I would say it is <span>D- (-4,-5), for counterclockwise you turn towards the right. At 180 degrees it would be (4, -5) if you turn again you would get (-4,-5) hope this helps</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given recursive formula:</u>
- a₁ = -1
- aₙ = - 3aₙ₋₁ + 6 for n ≥ 2
<u>The first 4 terms are:</u>
- a₁ = - 1, given
- a₂ = - 3*(-1) + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9
- a₃ = - 3*(9) + 6 = - 27 + 6 = - 21
- a₄ = - 3*(-21) + 6 = 63 + 6 = 69
