The height of the tree is 45 ft long

\frac{5}{13}  =  \frac{x}{37}
try using that equation
explanation - the height of the tree/person goes on top. the length of the shadow goes on the bottom. these two "triangles" are likely congruent, so they should be to scale (the sun strikes every object at the same time).

I need help please. Which graph shows y=⌊x⌋+2?
slavikrds [6]

Answer: Top right graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function ⌊x⌋ rounds the value x to the lower whole number.

for example:

⌊1.5⌋ = 1

⌊1.923⌋ = 1

⌊2.0⌋ = 2

then, the graph of ⌊x⌋ will be a black dot in the each whole number, and a horizontal segment to the right that ends with a white dot in the next whole number. Right above the white dot, we have another black dot, and it repeats.

if we have ⌊x⌋ + 2, we move te previous graph 2 units upwards, then the correct option is the top right graph.

You can check some points if you like:

f(0) = ⌊0⌋ + 2 = 2

f(0.5) = ⌊0.5⌋ + 2 = 2

f(1) = ⌊1⌋ + 2 = 3

So in x = 0 we have a black dot in y = 2, and in x = 1 we have a white dot in y = 2 and a black dot in y = 3.

Factor completely 3x2 - 21.
VMariaS [17]
3x² - 21

Factor 3 from both terms:

3 (x² - 7)

To me, that's as far as you should need to go.  But if you want to get
completely carried away, you could go one step further, since you have
the difference of two squares:

3 (x + √7) (x - √7)

Of course, there's no end now, because the last binomial could be
considered another difference of two squares, so you'd have to
factor that too:

3 (x + √7) (√x + ⁴√7) (√x - ⁴√7)

but to me, this would be nonsense.

A prism is completely filled with 1120 cubes that have edge lengths of 1/2 in. What is the volume of the prism?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Volume of the prism = 140 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The edge length of the cube is 1/2 inches.

The volume of the cube is given by

\text{Volume}=(\text{edge})^3\\\\V=(1/2)^3\\\\V=0.125

Now, it has been given that there are 1120 cube is completely filled in the prism. Hence, we have to the multiply the volume by 1120.

Volume of the prism = 1120 × 0.125

Volume of the prism = 140 cubic inches.
