120 ft.
a fireboat in the
harbor is put
out a fire in a
warehouse on the pier.
the distance from the
barrel (end) of the
water cannon to the
roof of the warehouse
is 120 feet, and the
water shoots up 50 feet
above the barrel of the water cannon.

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,

none.

step-by-step explanation:

m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.

there are infinitely many solutions.

change of stock price/initial stock price on friday * total stock value = change of stock value

0.89/73.73 *x = 42.72

x=3539.04 = total stock value at initial stock price on friday .

total stock value at initial stock price on friday/ initial stock price on friday = number of shares

3539.04/73.73 = 48 shares

they own 48 shares of this stock
