Answer: The height of the tree is  27f t

Step-by-step explanation: We can set up a proportion comparing the height of each object to the length of the shadow.

h/s

h/15=18/10

Cross multiply

10.h= 18*15

10h=270

Use the multiplicative Inverse

10 h/ 10 = <em><u>270 /10 =27</u></em>

What are the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation 0 = = x2 – 3x – 2?<br> a=1 h=30-2
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

  • a = 1
  • b = -3
  • c = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic equation is often written as ...

  ax² +bx +c = 0

The references to "a", "b", and "c" are to the coefficients in this form. Comparing this to your equation ...

  x²-3x -2 = 0

we see that the coefficient of x², is 1, so a=1; the coefficient of x is -3, so b=-3, and the constant is -2, so c=-2.
