Set up a ratio:

10 foot tall elephant / X shadow length = 15 foot tall statue / 18 foot shadow.

Cross multiply:

10 * 18 = X * 15

Simplify:

180 = 15x

Divide both sides by 15:

x = 180 / 15

x = 12

The elephants shadow was 12 feet long.

1, a.) The two specific conjectures are in the first image.

1, b.) The two general conjectures are in the second image.

2, a.) Two specific conjectures for this pattern are:

  • The common difference between two consecutive terms is 3.
  • And the given difference is A.P.

2, b.) From our observation two general conjecture is that the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence and the common difference is 3.

For finding its nth term we can use the formula: a(n) = a + (n-1) x d.

2, c.) A formula for the given pattern is 5 + (n-1)3, where n is the number of the term.

Prove that (x^5)-(x^2)+2x +3=0 has at least one real root.
lutik1710 [3]
The first one is of order 5, so it has either 1, 3 or 5 real roots (unless any coefficent was complex). Proof complete :)
The other one, if it has a solution, it must be in [-1;1]. Because it only gives positive results the solution is further restricted to [0;1]. Because the cosine function is continuous and strictly decreasing on this interval, the difference of x and it's cosine will shrink up to some point within the interval where it gets to 0 (the solution) and then flips sign (the cosine gets less than the number), further decreasing until the end of the interval.
