Answer:
what is the expression he wrote?
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following equation:
f (x) = x ^ 2 + bx-49
Deriving we have:
f '(x) = 2x + b
We match zero:
0 = 2x + b
We clear x:
x = -b / 2
The axis of symmetry is at x = 8, therefore:
x = -b / 2 = 8
Clearing b:
b = -2 * (8)
b = -16
Answer:
the value of b is:
b = -16
Height:shadow=2.5:3
2.5/3=6.7/x
cross multiply aka times both sides by 3x
2.5x=20.1
divide both sides by 2.5
x=8.04
answer is 8.04ft
