Answer:

558.01 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the height of cell tower :

Height of post / shadow of post = height of tower / shadow of tower

Shadow of post = 16 in = 1.333333 ft

6/ 1.3333 = height of tower / 124

6 * 124 = 1. 3333 * height of tower

744 = 1.3333 * height of tower

Height of tower = 744 / 1.3333

Height of tower = 558.01

Height of tower = 558.01 ft

What is 12.1 as a fraction in simplest form
Alex787 [66]
12 1/10
A quick way to get this one is to recognize that .1 is a decimal in the tenth place. Because of this, we know to put it over 10. Because 1/10 cannot be simplified, it is in simplest form. Now, simply return the whole number to the fraction.

the zeros of a parabola are -4 and 2, and (6, 10) is a point on the graph. which equation can be solved to determine the value o
natka813 [3]
Sure this question comes with a set of answer choices.

Anyhow, I can help you by determining one equation that can be solved to determine the value of a in the equation.

Since, the two zeros are - 4 and 2, you know that the equation can be factored as the product of (x + 4) and ( x - 2) times a constant.  This is, the equation has the form:

y = a(x + 4)(x - 2)

Now, since the point (6,10) belongs to the parabola, you can replace those coordintates to get:

10 = a (6 + 4) (6 - 2)

Therefore, any of these equivalent equations can be solved to determine the value of a:

10 = a 6 + 40) (6 -2)

10 = a (10)(4)

10 = 40a
