Answer:

Explanation:

in each of the following substitute x with the variables in the bracket.

f(a) = 5x - 6

= 5a - 6

f(a+h) = 5 (a + h) - 6

= 5a + 5h - 6

f(a+h) - f(a) = (5a + 5h - 6) - (5a - 6)

= 5a + 5h - 6 - 5a + 6

= 5h

(as the 5a's and 6's cancel each other out.)

f(a+h) - f(a)/h = 5a + 5h - 6 - ((5a - 6)÷h)

take l.c.m

= <u>(5ah + 5h^2 - 6h - 5a + 6)</u>

Clint wants to keep a young tree from blowing over during a high wind.he decides that he should tie a rope around the tree at a
liraira [26]
The rope tied to the tree will make a triangle.

The height of the triangle = 180cm
The base of the triangle = 200cm

to find how much rope you need, work out the hypotenuse using Pythagoras:

180^2 + 200^2 = 72400
√72400 = 269.0724809

This is the length of rope he needs, however you need to +30 as this is what he will need when he ties the rope:

269.0724809 + 30 = 299.0724809

299.0724809 is less than the 270cm of rope he has, so he would need more.

at a certain time of day, a 40 foot building casts a 8 foot shadow. how tall is a person who casts a 2 foot shadow?
lions [1.4K]
40 feet = 8 foot shadow

So in order to go from 40 to 8 you divide by 5.
 So if you have a person who casts a 2 foot shadow, you have to multiply by 5.

Your answer would be 10 feet.
Hope I helped :)
