Answer:
x ≈ - 6.74, 0.74
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x - 5 = 0 ( add 5 to both sides )
x² + 6x = 5
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 5 + 9
(x + 3)² = 14 ( take square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ± ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ±
Then
x = - 3 - ≈ - 6.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )
x = - 3 + ≈ 0.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )
Answer:
The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved using proportions, by a rule of three.
A 10-ft post casts a 14-inch shadow.
Each feet has 12 inches, which means that a post with 10 feet will cast a 14/12 = 1.167 ft shadow. How tall is the cell-phone tower with a 119-feet shadow?
10 feet post - 1.167 ft shadow
x feet tower - 119 feet shadow
Applying cross multiplication:
The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.
