Answer:
h(x) * s(x) = 200(1.05)^(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Our interest equation is s(x) = (1.05)^(x - 1). This is actually a part of a bigger formula for calculating the amount of money accumulated including interest:
A = P(1 + r)^n, where A is the total, P is the principal amount (initial amount), r is the interest rate, and n is the time
Here, we technically already have the (1 + r)^n part; it's just (1.05)^(x - 1). The principle, though, will actually be the 200 because she starts out at $200.
Thus, to combine these, we simply multiply them together to get:
h(x) * s(x) = 200(1.05)^(x - 1)
Given that G is the midpoint of FH, then:
FG=GH
hence;
14x+25=73-2x
solving for x we get:
14x+2x=73-25
16x=48
x=48/16
x=3
therefore the length FG=14x+25 will be:
14*3+25
=67
hence FH will be:
FH=67*2=134
You know 1 is not a root because the sum of the coeffcients of the equation is 14, not zero.
It is fairly easy to try 3 by synthetic division (see attachment), which tells you that 3 is a root and the remaining quadratic factor is x²-3x-5. The quadratic formula tells you the roots of that factor are
... x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (3±√29)/2
The appropriate choices are
... C. (3-√29)/2
... D. (3+√29)/2
... F. 3
_____
The quadratic formula tells you the solution to
... ax²+bx+c=0
is x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
We have a=1, b=-3, c=-5.
Answer:the height of the flagpole is 27.12 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The wire makes an angle with the ground and forms a right angle triangle with the flag pole. The length of the wire represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height of the flag pole and the ground distance from the wire represents the adjacent and opposite sides respectively.
To determine the height of the flagpole, x we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
31² = x² + 15²
x² = 961 - 225 = 736
x = √736. = 27.12 ft
