Answer:

f(x) = x² - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x = a is a zero of the polynomial f(x) then (x - a) is a factor

Given zeros are x = 3 and x = - 3, then corresponding factors are

(x - 3) and (x - (- 3) ), that is

(x - 3) and (x + 3)

The function is then the product of the factors, that is

f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 3) ← expand using FOIL

f(x) = x² - 9

Javier's parents set an amount of money aside when he was born. They earned 4.5% simple interest on that money each year. When J

Answer:

Javier's parents set aside $1500 when he was born

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E is the interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

In this question, we have that:

$E = 1012.50, t = 15, I = 0.045$

We have to find P. So

$E = P*I*t$

$1012.50 = P*15*0.045$

$P = \frac{1012.50}{15*0.045}$

$P = 1500$

The petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are 452 meters tall. A woman who is 1.75 meters tall stands 120 meters from the b

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$75.1^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have:

H = 452 m is the height of the Petronas tower

h = 1.75 m is the height of the woman

d = 120 m is the distance between the woman and the base of the tower

First of all, we notice that we want to find the angle of elevation between the woman's hat the top of the tower; this means that we have consider the difference between the height of the tower and the height of the woman, so

$H' = H-h = 452-1.75=450.25 m$

Now we notice that $d$ and $H'$ are the two sides of a right triangle, in which the angle of elevation is $\theta$ . Therefore, we can write the following relationship:
