Nachelle is 1.45 meters tall. At 11 a.m., she measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 23.05 meters. She stands 18.9 meters

away from the tree, so that the tip of her shadow meets the tip of the tree's shadow. Find the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

this creates 2 similar triangles.

that means all angles are the same. and all the side lengths of one triangle correlate to the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle by the same multiplication factor.

her shadow is 23.05 - 18.9 = 4.15 m long.

the factor between the shadow lengths is then

4.15 × f = 23.05

f = 23.05 / 4.15 = 5.554216867...

the same factor now applies to the relation of the heights :

1.45 × 5.554216867... = 8.053614458... m

rounded the tree is 8.05 m tall.

Write the equation of a line that passes through the points (−3, 7) and (3, 3)

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation of a line conveniently by point-slope form. It's in the form of $y -a = m(x -b)$ where $(b,a)$ is the coordinates of a point that's on the line and $m$ is the slope of the line.

Now choose a point (It doesn't really matter which one) and plug that in the equation. I'll choose $(-3,7)$ where $a = 7$ and $b = -3$

$y -a = m(x -b) \\ y -7 = m(x -(-3)) \\ y -7 = m(x +3)$

The next thing we have to do now is finding the slope, $m$ , where it's equal to $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}\\$ . I'll make $(-3,7)$ point 1 and $(3,3)$ point 2.

$m = \frac{3 - 7}{3 -(-3)} \\ m = \frac{3 - 7}{3 +3} \\ m = \frac{-4}{6} \\ m = -\frac{2}{3}$

Now let's plug that to our equation.

$y -7 = m(x +3) \\ y -7 = -\frac{2}{3}(x +3)$

Now we have the equation but out of all the choices it seemed that all of them are in slope-intercept form all you have to do now is make our equation rewrite it in slope-intercept form.

$y -7 = -\frac{2}{3}(x +3)\\ y -7 = -\frac{2}{3}x -\frac{2}{3}(3) \\ y - 7 = -\frac{2}{3}x -2\\ y = -\frac{2}{3}x +5$

<h3>Answer:</h3>

$y = -\frac{2}{3}x +5\\$ is your equation.

In the expansion (ax+by)^7, the coefficients of the first two terms are 128 and -224, respectively. Find the values of a and b

madam [21]

Answer:

a = 2, b = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding $(ax+by)^7$ using Binomial expansion, we have that:

$(ax+by)^7$ =

$(ax)^7(by)^0 + (ax)^6(by)^1 + (ax)^5(by)^2 + (ax)^4(by)^3 + (ax)^3(by)^4 + (ax)^2(by)^5 + (ax)^1(by)^6 + (ax)^0(by)^7$

$= (a)^7(x)^7+ (a)^6(x)^6(b)(y) + (a)^5(x)^5(b)^2(y)^2 + (a)^4(x)^4(b)^3(y)^3 + (a)^3(x)^3(b)^4(y)^4 + (a)^2(x)^2(b)^5(y)^5 + (a)(x)(b)^6(y)^6 + (b)^7(y)^7\\\\\\= (a)^7(x)^7+ (a)^6(b)(x)^6(y) + (a)^5(b)^2(x)^5(y)^2 + (a)^4(b)^3(x)^4(y)^3 + (a)^3(b)^4(x)^3(y)^4 + (a)^2(b)^5(x)^2(y)^5 + (a)(b)^6(x)(y)^6 + (b)^7(y)^7$

We have that the coefficients of the first two terms are 128 and -224.

For the first term:

=> $a^7 = 128$

=> $a = \sqrt[7]{128}\\ \\\\a = 2$

For the second term:

$a^6b = -224$

$b = \frac{-224}{a^6}$

$b = \frac{-224}{2^6} \\\\\\b = \frac{-224}{64} \\\\\\b = 3.5$

Therefore, a = 2, b = 3.5
