Answer:

x = 114 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of height to shadow length will be identical

x/72 = 76/48

x = 76(72)/48 114 inches

Answer:

  114 inches, or 9 ft 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The chair's shadow is 72/48 = 1.5 times as long as the lifeguard's shadow. Since shadow length is presumed proportional to height, we expect the lifeguard chair to be 1.5 times as tall as the lifeguard.

  1.5(76 in) = 114 in = 9 ft 6 in . . . height of lifeguard chair

The correct answer is y = 1.5x, A.
I am sure it is because I took the K12 test. I used the answer from the other person that answered this, and got it wrong. I reviewed the test, and It says that 1.5x is correct.

F(x) =5x^2-20x+3 how to find minimum
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

(2,-17) should be the minimum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum of a quadratic function occurs at x=-\frac{b}{2a} . If a is positive, the minimum value of the function is f(-\frac{b}{2a})

f_{min}x=ax^2+bx+c occurs at x=-\frac{b}{2a}

Find the value of x=-\frac{b}{2a}

x = 2

evaluate f(2).

replace the variable x with 2 in the expression.

f(2)=5(2)^2-20(2)+3

simplify the result.

f(2)=5(4)-20(2)+3

f(2)=20-40+3

f(2)=-17

The final answer is -17

Use the x and y values to find where the minimum occurs.

HOPE THIS HELPS!
