Jeremiah sees a maple tree and a pine tree in the forest. He knows that the pine tree is 21.65 feet tall. On a sunny day, the shadow of the pine is 4.1 feet long while the maple's shadow is 15.01 feet long. Estimate the height of the maple tree.

Margie is practicing for an upcoming tennis tournament. her first serve is good 20 out of 30 times on average. margie wants to know the estimated probability that her first serve will be good at least four of the next six times she serves. how could she design a simulation for this scenario?

Evaluate 8x2 + 9x − 1 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x dx. solution since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, we don't need to divide. we factor the denominator as 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x = x(2x2 + 3x − 2) = x(2x − 1)(x + 2). since the denominator has three distinct linear factors, the partial fraction decomposition of the integrand has the form† 8x2 + 9x − 1 x(2x − 1)(x + 2) = correct: your answer is correct. to determine the values of a, b, and c, we multiply both sides of this equation by the product of the denominators, x(2x − 1)(x + 2), obtaining 8x2 + 9x − 1 = a correct: your answer is correct. (x + 2) + bx(x + 2) + cx(2x − 1).
