Answer:
<em>4x^3(x^2 - 5)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
First, try to factor a common factor.
GCF of 4 and -20 is 4.
GCF of x^5 and x^3 is x^3.
Factor out 4x^3.
4x^5 - 20x^3 =
= 4x^3(x^2 - 5)
We use the trigonometric function for this case. An escalator is an inclined path. We form a right triangle since we have given the value of the height. The height from the first floor to second floor is called the adjacent while the travelled distance of the people is called the hypothenuse. We use cosine function because we are given in terms of adjacent and hypothenuse. The ratio of cosine function is
cos x = a/h
where x is the angle
Solving for h,
h = a/(cos x) = 21/(cos 30) = 24.25 ft
A solid geometric figure whose two end faces are similar, equal, and parallel rectilinear figures, and whose sides are parallelograms.
