Answer:

60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by setting up a proportion.

height of the pole/length of the pole's shadow = height of the mailbox/length of the mailbox's shadow

height of the pole = x

plugging in values

x/70 = 3/3.5   To solve, cross multiply

(3.5)(x) = (70)(3)  Simplify

3.5x = 210  Divide both sides by 3.5

3.5x/3.5 = 210/3.5

x = 60 ft is the height of the pole

The graph of which function has an axis of symmetry at x=3?​
iragen [17]

Answer:

A graph that has an axis of symmetry at x = 3 would be x^2 -6x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find a graph that has an axis of symmetry at 3, use the equation for the axis of symmetry of a quadratic.

x = -b/2a

In this equation, a is the coefficient of x^2 and b is the coefficient of x. So, if we use 3 as x and we choose a random number to be a (1), we can solve for the b.

3 = -b/2(1)

3 = -b/2

6 = -b

b = -6

Now that we have this, we can put those two numbers as coefficients. The constant at the end can be anything.
