Answer:
Part (a):
The scale factor is: 5/140 = 1/28
Part (b):
The actual height of the tree is: 42 ft

Explanation:
Part (a):
The scale factor means the ratio between the actual length and the drawn length. In other words, scale factor is used to tell you how long a unit measurement in your drawing represents in reality.
To find the scale factor, you have to divide the drawn length by the actual length and simplify.
From the given, we have:
drawn length = 5 inches
actual length = 140 inches
Dividing both numbers, we get:
scale factor = 5/140 = 1/28
This means that each 1 inch in the drawing represents 28 inches of the actual length

Part (b):
I have explained what a scale factor is in part (a). Here, we are given that the scale factor is:
1 in : 6 ft
This means that 1 inch on the drawing is used to represent 6 ft in reality.
We are given that the tree is 7 inches on the drawing, so to get the actual length, all we need to do is cross multiplication as follows:
1 in : 6 ft
7 in : ??
actual height = (7*6) / 1 = 42 ft

Hope this helps :)

Determine the value of a + b in the system of equations below. <br><br> 5a + 4b = 22<br> 7a-b= 11
dexar [7]

Answer:

We have a + b as;

2 + 3 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want go get the value of a and b

from the second equation, we can get an expression for b

We have this as;

7a - b = 11

Thus,

b = 7a - 11

Now, from here, we can substitute the value of b into the first equation

We have this as;

5a + 4(7a - 11) = 22

5a + 28a -44 = 22

33a = 22 + 44

33a = 66

a = 66/33

a = 2

Recall;

b = 7a - 11

substituting the value of a from above;

b = 7(2) - 11

b = 14 - 11

b = 3

Which zero pair could be added to the function f(x)=x^2+12x+6 so that the function can be written in vertex form?
andrew11 [14]
<span>f(x) = x</span>² <span>+ 12x + 6  </span>→ y = x² + 12x + 6<span>

Let us convert the standard form into vertex form.

1) Complete the squares. Isolate x</span>² and x terms.
<span>y - 6 = x</span>² + 12x
<span>
2) Create the perfect square trinomial. Whatever number is added on one side must also be added on the other side. 

y - 6 + 36 = x</span>² + 12x + 36<span>
y + 30 = (x + 6)</span>²
<span>y = (x + 6)</span>² - 30  ← Vertex form
<span>
To check:

y = (x + 6) (x + 6) - 30
y = x</span>² + 6x + 6x + 36 - 30
<span>y = x</span>² + 12x + 6<span>

The zero that could be added to the given function is 36, -36</span>
