Answer:  36 feet

==================================================

Work Shown:

(sign height)/(sign shadow) = (pole height)/(pole shadow)

8/2 = x/9

8*9 = 2*x ... cross multiply

72 = 2x

2x = 72

x = 72/2 ... divide both sides by 2

x = 36

The utility pole is 36 feet tall.

The table and graph both represent the same relationship.
Llana [10]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table shown in the picture,

For input value x = 1, output values of y = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

Similarly, from the graph shown,

For input value x = 1, output values of y = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

Therefore, both will represent the same relationship.

From the graph attached, straight line parallel to y-axis is x = 1.

Therefore, x = 1 will be the correct option.

Enter the correct value so that each expression is a perfect-square trinomial.
Novosadov [1.4K]
If this is a perfect square trinomial, you want to look at your constant--36. the square root of 36 is 6, so your factors would be:

(x + 6)(x + 6) ... foil this, and see what your middle value is.
x² + 12x + 36 is your result. 12 is your middle term.
