Answer:
22 3/4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.
<h3>Proportion</h3>
Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...
h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet
Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...
h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4
h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft
The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.
I see. Imagine you have f(x)=|x|. It's a V shaped graph.
Now if f(x)=|x|, 2f(x)=2|x|.
Graph Transformation Rule:
af(x), multiply y-coordinates by a.
*Ultimately, you'd still have a V shaped graph in 2f(x)=2|x|, but the y values of all the coordinates in f(x)=|x| would have to be multiplied by 2 giving you 2f(x)=2|x|.
Answer: Option C. [0.95, 1.59].
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the mean is:
M = 1.27
and the margin of error is:
e = 0.32
This means that the actual value can be at a maximum distance of 0.32 from the mean.
then the interval will be:
[M - e, M + e].= [1.27 - 0.32, 1.27 + 0.32].= [0.95, 1.59].
The correct option is C.
Answer:
15.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometry of the problem can be modeled by a right triangle with hypotenuse 16 ft and one side length of 4 ft. If x represents the height of the ladder on the building, then the Pythagorean theorem tells us ...
x^2 + (4 ft)^2 = (16 ft)^2
x^2 = 240 ft^2 . . . . . . subtract 16 ft^2
x ≈ 15.5 ft . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The top of the ladder is about 15.5 ft above the ground.
