Answer:

28.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A water tower casts a shadow that is 24 foot long. A 9.5 foot tall tree casts a shadow that is 8 foot long. What is the height of the water tower?

The formula is given as:

Height of the tower/Shadow of the tower = Height of the tree/Shadow of the tree

Let the Height of the tower = x

Hence:

x/24 = 9.5/8

Cross Multiply

8x = 24 × 9.5

x = 24 × 9.5/8

x = 28.5 feet

Therefore, the height of the water tower is 28.5 feet

-52 times the difference between a number and 14 is equal to the number plus 3
xenn [34]
X=number looked for
we have this equation:
-52(x-14)=x+3
we solve this equation:
-52x+728=x+3
-52x-x=3-728
-53x=-725
x=-725/-53=725/53 ≈13,68

Solution: 725/53

To check:
the difference between 725/53 and 14=725/53  - 14=(725-742)/53=-17/53
-52 times the diference is= -52(-17/53)=884/53
The number plus 3=725/53 + 3=(725+159)/53=884/53

Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay, and determine the percentage r
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

decay

2% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor is the base of the exponent: 0.98. Its relation to the rate of change is ...

 growth factor = 1 + rate of change

 0.98 = 1 + (-0.02)

So, the rate of change is -0.02 = -2%. Since the rate of change is a 2% decrease, it represents decay.
