Ratio and proportaion

assuming the shadow to the actual height is constant

shadow:actual height=12ft:40ft=12/40=3/10=3ft:10ft

so
3ft:10ft=?:21ft
solve
3ft/10ft=?/21ft
times both sides by 21ft
63ft/10=?
6.3ft=?

the shadow is 6.3ft

If y varies directly as x and y=12 when x=c what is y in terms of c when x=8
tatiyna

"y varies directly as x" means y = kx

you do not know what k is yet, other than that it is some constant number.

Now plug in the given values, y=12 when x=4, in the equation

12 = 4k

=> k = 3

Now rewrite the equation with the k value you just found

y = 3k

Substitute 18 in place of x

y = 3(18)

y = 54

Select the graph and the description of the end behavior of f(x) = x3 + 2.
Dmitry [639]
F(x)=x^3+2
we see the power is odd
the ends go in opsoite directions
we know that if the leadind coefient (number in front of highest power term) is positive, then odd powered polynomials go from bottom left to top right
and for even ones, it goes both up

for negative, odd ones go from top left to bottom right
for even, both go down

we gots
f(x)=1x^3+2
positive and odd, so it goes from bottom left to top right

as x approaches negative inifnity, y approaches negaitve infinity
as x approaches infinity, y approaches infinity

Need help with a math question
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

x=13°

Step-by-step explanation:

If BE is an angle bisector, then it divides the angle into two equal angles. This means that

∠ABE=∠EBC

Since ∠ABE=2x+20 and ∠EBC=4x-6, we have

2x+20=4x-6

2x-4x=-6-20

-2x=-26

2x=26

x=13°
