A street light bulb is fixed on a pole 6m above the level of the street. If a women of height 1.5m casts a shadow of 3m, find how far is she away from the base of the pole

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The woman's shadow length is 2 times her height, so her distance from the light is 2 times the difference in height between her and the light bulb.

2×(6 m - 1.5 m) = 9 m

Sheryl has a basket of ripe apples and peaches. The number of apples in the basket is 12 more than twice the number of peaches. If there are 36 apples in the basket, there are peaches in the basket. NextReset

Answers

a = 2p + 12...and there are 36 apples (a)
36 = 2p + 12
36 - 12 = 2p
24 = 2p
24/2 = p
12 = p...so, if there are 36 apples (a), then there are 12 peaches (p)

6x^2-4xy-15xy+10y^2 factor by grouping

Answers

4 answers · Mathematics
Best Answer
We will need to split the middle term and use the grouping method. To do this multiply the coefficient of the first term (6) against the coefficient of the last term (10):

6 * 10 = 60
Factors of 60 = +-(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60)

From the list of factors find two numbers that when added together give -19 and when multiplied together give 60. -15 and -4 added together give -19 and multiplied together give 60 so split the middle term by rewriting these values back into the expression:

6x^2 - 15xy - 4xy + 10y^2

Now use the grouping method, take out the highest common factor between the two sets of terms:

3x(2x - 5y) - 2y(2x - 5y)

Group the outside terms:

(3x - 2y)(2x - 5y)

Answers
6 = -3*-2
10 = 5*2
5*3+2*2=19
thus
(2y-3x)(5y-2x)
