Answer:

60.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry :

Opposite = Height of shadow = 42 feets

Adjacent = height of flagpole = 23.7 feets

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = height of shadow / height of flagpole

Tan θ = 42 / 23.7

Tan θ = 1.7721518

θ = tan^-1(1.7721518)

θ = 60.56

θ = 60.6°

Let the amount B pays be £x
So,
A pays £125
B pays £x
They pay in the ration 3:2
Therefore,
125/x = 3/2
Cross multiplying we get,
125 x 2 = 3x
3x = 250
x = £63.33

Factor the polynomial F(x) =x^3-x^2-4x+4 completely.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

PART 1:

Possible roots by noticing the coefficient of first term:

x = 1, -1

PART 2:

1 | 1 -1 -4 4

1 0 -4 0

The remainder is zero, hence one factor is (x-1)

PART 3:

$x^3-x^2-4x+4=(x^2-4)(x-1)\\\\x^3-x^2-4x+4=(x+2)(x-2)(x-1)$

PART 4:

$f(x)=(x+2)(x-2)(x-1)\\\\=(x^2-4)(x-1)\\\\=x^3-4x-x^2+4\\\\=x^3-x^2-4x+4$
