A 24 feet high pole casts a shadow of 8 feet long. Divide the two

24/8 = 3

To find the nearby pole's shadow length, in which the pole is 72 feet tall, divide by 3

72/3 = 24

C. 24 feet is your answer

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: You can also solve it using ratios:

24/8 = 72/x is the ratio you will use

To solve, cross multiply

24x = 72(8)

Simplify

24x = 576

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 24 from both sides

24x/24 = 576/24

x = 576/24

x = 24

Determine whether the following relation represents a function. If it is a function, state the do
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Yes, I cannot tell what it wants you to state if it is though.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you are familiar with coordinates representing x and y coordinates so (x,y).  If this is unfamiliar let me know.

For a function, there cannot be a repeat of xs unless every one goes to the same y.  So for instance if (3,4)(3,5) were in the list this would not be a function because 3 is used twice but goes to a different number each time.

If the list had (3,4) twice so (3,4)(3,4), that could still be a function.

In your list There are no repeating xs, so you don't even need to check.  It is a function.
