The project in her Geometric class is an illustration of equivalent ratios

The approximated height of the flagpole is 13.19 meters

The given parameters are:

Distance from flagpole (D) = 14.25

Distance to the other side of the mirror (d) = 1.35

Kylie's height (h) = 1.25

To calculate the height (H) of the flagpole, we make use of the following equivalent ratios

\mathbf{D :d = H :h}

Substitute known values

\mathbf{14.25 :1.35 = H :1.25}

Express as fraction

\mathbf{\frac{14.25 }{1.35 }= \frac{H }{1.25}}

Multiply both sides by 1.25

\mathbf{H = 1.25 \times \frac{14.25 }{1.35 }}

Multiply

\mathbf{H = 13.19 }

Hence, the approximated height of the flagpole is 13.19 meters

How can I tell, when doing synthetic division, if the binomial is<br> a FACTOR of the dividend?
Alecsey [184]

If you get 0 as the last value in the bottom row, then the binomial is a factor of the dividend.

Let's say the binomial is of the form (x-k) and it multiplies with some other polynomial q(x) to get p(x), so,

p(x) = (x-k)*q(x)

If you plug in x = k, then,

p(k) = (k-k)*q(k)

p(k) = 0

The input x = k leads to the output y = 0. Therefore, if (x-k) is a factor of p(x), then x = k is a root of p(x).

It turns out that the last value in the bottom row of a synthetic division table is the remainder after long division. By the remainder theorem, p(k) = r where r is the remainder after dividing p(x) by (x-k). If r = 0, then (x-k) is a factor, p(k) = 0, and x = k is a root.

How did the π invented?​
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The ancient Babylonians calculated the area of a circle by taking 3 times the square of its radius, which gave a value of pi = 3.  The first calculation of π was done by Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world.
