Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.
Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x
Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s
Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18 Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x Divide by 2
72/2 = x
x = 36
The height of the tree is 36 feet.
Answer:
y = 4 or y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2log4y - log4 (5y - 12) = 1/2
2log_4(y) - log_4(5y-12) = log_4(2) apply law of logarithms
log_4(y^2) + log_4(1/(5y-12)) = log_4(/2) apply law of logarithms
log_4(y^2/(5y-12)) = log_4(2) remove logarithm
y^2/(5y-12) = 2 cross multiply
y^2 = 10y-24 rearrange and factor
y^2 - 10y + 24 = 0
(y-4)(y-6) = 0
y= 4 or y=6
What is the slope? We need the slope to find y
