Answer:
15 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that either both objects are standing straight. We can use similar triangles.
We can see that the side 8 is similar to the side 20, since they are both shadows. Therefore, we can set up an equation:
[tex]\frac{6}{8} =\frac{x}{20}[/tex]
we can cross multiply and get:
8x=120
solve for x:
x=15
Therefore, the lamppost must be 15 feet tall (unless it fell down but we won't talk about that)

Evaluate the function f(x) = (x + 2)2 for the given inputs.
a. f(5)=
b. f(-3) =
c. f (x+3) =
Answer:
a. 49
b. 1
c. x^2+10x+25
Step-by-step explanation:
Symply substitute the values (5, -3, x+3) in the equation (x+2)^2
givien the function 6x+6y=5 rearrange the equation so that x is the independant varible
Answer:
so 6x = -6y + 5
divide by 6
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x+1)= -2+5
How you solve that?
[tex]-2(x+1) = -2+5\\\\\implies -2x -2 = 3\\\\\implies -2x = 3 +2 =5\\\\\implies x = - \dfrac 52[/tex]
Add the numbers, then add 2 to both sides of the equation. The solution would be x = - 5/2

Answer:
-1/3 or 1/-3 (it doesn't matter which one you pick because its still the same)
Step-by-step explanation:
You find slope by doing rise over run. Its left to right so you start on the left dot and go down one. This makes it -1 because you're going down, not up. You move 3 to the right which makes it positive. Once you do this itll lead you right the the 2nd point. 1 down= -1
3 right= 3
-1/3
The scale of a map is known to be 1: 500 000. Find the actual distance (in km) between a mall and the bus interchange if the represented distance on the map is 3.2 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
when the scale says 1:500000, then that means 1 unit in the map corresponds to 500000 units in reality.
and so, 3.2 cm on the map are
3.2 × 500000 cm in reality.
3.2 × 500000 = 1,600,000 cm = 16,000 m = 16 km

13. Algebra In the first 3 months of the year,
an electronics store sold 1,446 cameras.
How many cameras did the store sell in March?
Write and solve an equation.
The store sold 482 cameras in the month of March.
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.
Assuming that the same number of camera is sold each month. Let x represent the amount of camera sold in March.
Since the electronics store sold 1,446 cameras in the first 3 months, hence:
3x = 1446
x = 482 cameras
The store sold 482 cameras in the month of March.

The blood bank at a hospital has 1,200 units of blood, out of which 37% units are of blood group B+. A clinical researcher randomly selects 300 units of blood and finds that 33% of those are of blood group B+. To test his result, he randomly selects 200 units of blood and finds that 40% of those are of blood group B+. Which of the following is the reason there is a difference between the two percentages selected by the researcher?
The reason why the two percentages are different is that the sample does not reflect the characteristics of all the units of blood.
What is sampling?Sampling is a statistical technique in which a sample of a statistical population is selected for the study. The objective of sampling is to ensure that its properties can be extrapolated to the total population.
Sampling is a way of saving resources, and at the same time obtaining results similar to those that would be achieved if a study of the entire population were carried out.
According to the above, the clinical researcher who selected a sample of the available blood units obtains different percentages because he selected randomly and this can modify the quantities of samples according to blood type.

Some government leaders propose allowing oil companies to drill in currently protected lands that may be rich in oil reserves. Environmental researchers argue that drilling in such lands would be harmful to the surrounding ecosystem. To measure support for drilling in such lands, an oil company representative uses random-digit telephone dialing to contact adults in the region and measure opinion for increased drilling. One question in the survey asks, "Given that an increase in drilling could result in increased tax revenue and additional jobs to the region, would you support a proposal to allow drilling in lands currently protected from drilling?" What type of bias could be most likely affecting the survey results? This is undercoverage bias because some segments of the population will be excluded from the sample. This is response bias because those selected for the survey may not provide truthful opinions about oil drilling. This is voluntary res
The type of bias in this survey is question-wording bias because the question is influencing the response (option D).
Question-wording bias occurs when the words selected in the question influence a specific response. Here is one example:
Do you believe a cruel practice such as bullfighting should be forbidden?In this question, the use of the word cruel qualifies bullfighting as negative, and therefore in most cases, people will answer that bullfighting should be forbidden.
This effect occurs in the question for this survey because the section given that an increase in drilling could result in increased tax revenue and additional jobs to the region indirectly states drilling is positive and therefore influences the response of those surveyed.
Note: This question is incomplete because some of the options are missing; here are the complete options:
What type of bias could be most likely affecting the survey results?
A. This is undercoverage bias because some segments of the population will be excluded from the sample.
B. This is response bias because those selected for the survey may not provide truthful opinions about oil drilling.
C. This is voluntary response bias because those most passionate about drilling will be more likely to register an opinion.
D. This is question-wording bias because the information given at the start of the question may lead those surveyed towards a desired response.

Marco buys a wooden board that is 12 feet long. The cost of the board is $1.25 per foot, including tax. What is the total cost, in dollars, of Marco's board?
The cost of the length of wood Marco buys depends on the price of the wood.
The total cost in dollars of Marco's board is $15
Reasons:
The length of the wooden board Marco buys (quantity) = 12 feet
The cost of the board per foot, including tax (price) = $1.25
Let x represent the percentage of the tax applied to the total cost, and let y represent the cost before tax, we have;
Cost per foot, C₁ = 1.25 = y + x·y
The cost of 12 feet of the wooden board is given by the proportional relationship between cost, price and quantity as follows;
Cost = Price × Quantity
The cost of 12 feet of the wood is therefore;
Cost of 12 feet, C₁₂ = 12 × y + 12 × x·y = 12 × (y + x·y) = 12 × $1.25 = $15
The cost of 12 feet of wood = $15

A rectangular prism has a volume of 960 cubic units. The area of the base is 80 square units. What is the height of the prism?
Answer: the area of the base will be multiplied by 4, since it will be changed from LW to
(2L)(2W) = 4LW
So, apply that to finding the new volume.
If the rectangular prism has a volume of 960 cubic units. Then the height of the prism will be 12 units.
What is the volume of the rectangular prism?Let the prism with a length of L, a width of W, and a height of H. Then the volume of the prism is given as
V = L x W x H
A rectangular crystal has a volume of 960 cubic units. The region of the base is 80 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the rate of change is 5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Function
To find: What is the rate of change?
Solution :
The given function is an exponential function as it is in form
in which b is the factor of rate,
If b=1+r then r is the growth rate
If b=1-r then r is the decay rate.
We have given b=0.95
So, 0.95=1-r
r=1-0.95
r=0.05
i.e, It is a decay rate with 5%.
Therefore, The rate of change is 5%.
