A 5 foot tall person walks away from a 12 foot tall lamppost at a constant rate of 4 feet per second. What is the rate that the

tip of the shadow moves away from the lamppost when the person is 9 feet away from the pole?

Solution :

Given :

The height of the person is 5 foot.

The height of the lamppost is 12 foot.

Speed of the person away from the lamppost = 4 ft/s

Let the distance of the tip of the shadow of the perosn to the pole at t seconds after the person started walking away from the pole be d(t).

By similarity of the triangles, we see that

$\frac{12}{d}=\frac{5}{x}$  .................(i)

Here x is the distance from the person to the tip of the shadow. As it is given the speed of the person is 4 ft/s, then the distance of the person from the pole 4t. So we have,

x = d - 4t  .............(ii)

Putting (ii) in (i) and solving for d is

d(t) = 6.85 t

So now if we derive d(t), we will get the wanted rate of the tip of the shadow.

∴ d'(t) = 6.85 ft/s

Which equation involves a prime quadratic and cannot be solved by factoring? A. x2 + 5x − 4 = 0 B. x2 − x − 6 = 0 C. x2 + 3x − 4
Damm [24]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can try to factorize all the options one by one.

For A:

x^{2} +5x-4\\=> x^{2}+4x+x-4\\=>x(x+4)+1(x-4)

We can see that the quadratic expression cannot be solved by factorization as the factors at the end of factorization are not equal in both brackets. So Option A is the correct answer for the given question.

Moreover we can also note that all the other quadratic expressions can be factorized ..

I need help with this problem! Must explain why.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

95°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 1 and 4 are opposite angles, thus equal, so:

3x+10 = 4x-15 =>

x = 25

Angle 1 and 4 are 85°

Angle 4 and angle 6 are called allied (or co-interior) angles, which are supplementary, i.e., angle 6 = 180 - angle 4, so angle 6 = 95°.

Angle 6 and 7 are again opposite, so angle 7 is 95° as well!
