Answer:

30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the given information to set up a ratio...

\frac{Mark's\ height}{Mark's\ shadow}=\frac{Tree's\ height}{Tree's\ shadow}

\frac{6\ ft}{4\ ft}=\frac{x}{20\ ft}

We can solve this ratio using cross multiplication (multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second and the numerator of the second fraction by the denominator of the first):

120 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

x=30 ft

Explain why 2n+1 must be an odd number
Lorico [155]
If is an integer (a whole number), then the expression represents an even number, because even numbers are the multiples of 2. The expressions 2 n − 1 and 2 n + 1 can represent odd numbers, as an odd number is one less, or one more than an even number.

Original price:$29.99;markdown: 33 1/3%<br> Find the retail price
-Dominant- [34]
33.3%, move the decimal to the left twice to make it easier. then multiply 29.99 by .333. take that and subtract it from 29.99. I got 20, I'm not sure if that's right though

Solve the equation. And write all solutions in general form.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

x = pi/2 + 2 pi n                            x = pi + 2 pi n   where n is an integer

x = 5pi /3 + 2 pi n                      

Step-by-step explanation:

8 cos^2 x + 4 cos x-4 = 0

Divide by 4

2 cos^2 x +  cos x-1 = 0

Let u = cos x

2 u^2 +u -1 =0

Factor

(2u -1) ( u+1) = 0

Using the zero product property

2u-1 =0    u+1 =0

u = 1/2      u = -1

Substitute cosx for u

cos x = 1/2    cos x = -1

Take the inverse cos on each side

cos ^-1(cos x) = cos ^-1(1/2)   cos ^-1( cos x) =cos ^-1( -1)

x = pi/2 + 2 pi n                            x = pi + 2 pi n   where n is an integer

x = 5pi /3 + 2 pi n
