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

5. Which polynomial is equal to (x5 + 1) divided by (x + 1)?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

B  x^4-x^3+x^2-x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Dividend = (x^5+1)

Divisor = (x+1)

Step 1: First The dividend is (x^5+1) and Divisor is (x+1) when divided first time the quotient will be x^4 and remainder will be -x^4+1

Step: 2 Now the new dividend is -x^4+1 and Divisor is (x+1)  when divided the quotient will be x^4-x^3 and remainder will be x^3+1

Step: 3 Now the new dividend is x^3+1 and Divisor is (x+1)  when divided the quotient will be x^4-x^3+x^2 and remainder will be -x^2+1

Step: 4 Now the new dividend is -x^2+1 and Divisor is (x+1)  when divided the quotient will be x^4-x^3+x^2-x and remainder will be x+1

Step: 5 Now the new dividend is x+1 and Divisor is (x+1)  when divided the quotient will be x^4-x^3+x^2-x+1 and remainder will be 0.

Hence When the polynomial (x^5+1) is divided by  (x+1) the answer or quotient will be equal to  x^4-x^3+x^2-x+1 and remainder will be 0.
