Answer:
4y^6
Step-by-step explanation:
Take out the constants:
40y^14/10y^8
= 40/10 * y^14 / y^8
= 4 * y^(14-8)
= 4 * y^6
= 4y^6
Hope this helped you :3
I won't answer them all for you (don't want to cheat - need to learn something).
But for the first one given:
<span>-2x-9y=-25
-4x-9y=-23
you set up either x or y (which ever one you want to eliminate) so that one of them cancels.
So this one is easy - you just have to multiply an entire row by negative (doesn't matter which one) - so that the y's will be + and -
Since they're both 9 and they're subracting NOW - you can eliminate the y value. Now add/subtract the x's. So it'd be -2 or 2 depending on how you eliminated y. Then add the number outside of the = sign. Now just solve for x. After that plug in whatever you got for x into both of the rows. Then find the y value.
Hopefully this wasn't confusing -- reply if it is and I will try to simplify. I can give you contact if you need help with the rest
Good luck!</span>
We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.
First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:
1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)
where x is the height of the flood light
solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.
