To find the length of the altitude, we have to use the ratios of the similar sides.
Let the length of altitude=x
Ratio of sides:
\frac{x}{3} = \frac{27}{x}  \\
Cross \ multiply \\
 x^{2} =81 \\
Take \ square \ root.\\
 \sqrt{x^2}= \sqrt{81} \\
x=9 \\
So length of altitude is 9 cm.

Answer: 9 cm

Find p(2) and p(4) for the function p(x) = 6x4 + 4x3 – 3x2 + 8x + 15.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

p(2) =147 and p(4) = 1791

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given p(x)= 6x^4 + 4x^3 – 3x^2 + 8x + 15.

Now we need to find value of p(2) and p(4)

Put x =2,

p(2) = 6(2)^4 + 4(2)^3 – 3(2)^2 + 8(2) + 15

p(2) = 6(16)+4(8)-3(4)+8(2)+15

p(2) = 96+32-12+16+15

p(2) = 147

Now put x = 4

p(4) = 6(4)^4 + 4(4)^3 – 3(4)^2 + 8(4) + 15

p(4) = 6(256)+4(64)-3(16)+8(4)+15

p(4) = 1536+256-48+32+15

p(4) = 1791

I'm giving 30 points if you answer correctly!

Answer:

Part A: 64 (right-side 3th cell) and 7 (left-side 4th cell)

Part B: 5 hours- $45; 6 hours- $54; 8 hours- $72

Part C: $5 more

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation for Part C- We know that if she works 5 hours mowing lawns, she will earn $40. But, when she works at the theme park we use the ratio given to find out how much she earn per hour. In her case she earns $9 for every hour she works at the theme park. now if you multiply that by 5 we can find out how much she earns in 5 hours which is $45. This is $5 more than what she earns mowing lawns for the same amount of time. Here we can conclude that Barbara earns $5 dollars more working at the theme park for 5 hours rather that mowing lawns.

If you can please name me the brainliest that would be much appreciated. Thanks and Good Luck!
