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

Answer:

x^2-4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the zeroes of the quadratic are 1 and 3, we can set up an equation in factored form:

(x-1)(x-3)

=x^2-4x+3

We can further check that this is the right answer by evaluating it at the vertex:

(2)^2-4*2+3=-1

Since that corresponds to the graph, the answer is x^2-4x+3
