24 feet
Set up a ratio of object height to shadow length.
So x/32=6/8
8(4)=32 so 6(4) would be 24.

The polynomial of degree 3, P(x), has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 3 and a root of multiplicity 1 at x = -2. The y-intercept
Maru [420]

Answer:

p(x) =  - 0.7(x - 3)^{2} (x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the polynomial, has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 3 and a root of multiplicity 1 at x = -2.

This means the factored form of the polynomial will be.

p(x) = a(x - 3)^{2} (x + 2)

Also, it was given that, the y-intercept is y=-12.6.

This implies that:

- 12.6= a(0 - 3)^{2} (0 + 2)

- 12.6= a(- 3)^{2} (2)

- 12.6= 18a

Divide both sides by 18;

a =  \frac{ - 12.6}{18}

a= - 0.7

Therefore the polynomial is

p(x) =  - 0.7(x - 3)^{2} (x + 2)

Simplify expression 2g +3(g+5)
Sophie [7]

Answer:

5g+15

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we will first expand the expression using the distributive rule: x(y+z)=xy+xz

Therefore:

2g+3(g+5)=2g+3*g+3*5

Simplify:

2g+3g+15

Add up like terms:

5g+15

HELP PLEASE!! ASAP <br> If triangles ABC and DEF are similar, what is y? Show your work.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

\frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{AC}{DF} , substitute values

\frac{y}{12} = \frac{21}{14} ( cross- multiply )

14y = 252 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y = 18

How do you solve 7x-5=30?
Nadya [2.5K]
7x - 5 = 30

* add 5 to both sides

7x = 30 + 5

7x = 35

* divided both sides by 7

(7/7)x = 35/7

<u><em>x = 5</em></u>
