A child who is 4 ½ feet tall casts a 6-foot shadow. At the same time, a nearby statue casts a 15-foot shadow. How tall is the st

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

13 1/2 tall

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 1/2 is the childs hight and their shadow is 6 feet, the shadow adds 2 1/2 to the height.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Option is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that bella want to know what the students at her school think of her show. which is the BEST group to survey to find this information

For getting accurate results she must select a random sample without bias

For this option a will not serve since she selects only students she recognizes.

Option B may not be right, as during show on the face they may not give correct opinion

C is right as a random sample is taken

D is wrong as the first 30 students may not be at random.

So option C is right

Answer:

$\textsf{A)} \quad x=-2, \:\:x=\dfrac{5}{2}$

$\textsf{B)} \quad \left(\dfrac{1}{4},-\dfrac{81}{8}\right)=(0.25,-10.125)$

C) See attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

$f(x)=2x^2-x-10$

To factor a <u>quadratic</u> in the form $ax^2+bx+c$ <em> , </em>find two numbers that multiply to $ac$ and sum to $b$ :

$\implies ac=2 \cdot -10=-20$

$\implies b=-1$

Therefore, the two numbers are -5 and 4.

Rewrite $b$ as the sum of these two numbers:

$\implies f(x)=2x^2-5x+4x-10$

Factor the first two terms and the last two terms separately:

$\implies f(x)=x(2x-5)+2(2x-5)$

Factor out the common term (2x - 5):

$\implies f(x)=(x+2)(2x-5)$

The x-intercepts are when the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0:

$\implies (x+2)(2x-5)=0$

Therefore:

$\implies (x+2)=0 \implies x=-2$

$\implies (2x-5)=0 \implies x=\dfrac{5}{2}$

So the x-intercepts are:

$x=-2, \:\:x=\dfrac{5}{2}$

The x-value of the vertex is:

$\implies x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}$

Therefore, the x-value of the vertex of the given function is:

$\implies x=\dfrac{-(-1)}{2(2)}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

To find the y-value of the vertex, substitute the found value of x into the function:

$\implies f\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=2\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^2-\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)-10=-\dfrac{81}{8}$

Therefore, the vertex of the function is:

$\left(\dfrac{1}{4},-\dfrac{81}{8}\right)=(0.25,-10.125)$

Plot the x-intercepts found in Part A.

Plot the vertex found in Part B.

As the <u>leading coefficient</u> of the function is positive, the parabola will open upwards. This is confirmed as the vertex is a minimum point.

The axis of symmetry is the <u>x-value</u> of the <u>vertex</u>. Draw a line at x = ¹/₄ and use this to ensure the drawing of the parabola is <u>symmetrical</u>.

Draw a upwards opening parabola that has a minimum point at the vertex and that passes through the x-intercepts (see attachment).
