The length of the shortest ladder is 16.64 ft.
In triangle ABC, using Pythagoras theorem
[tex]AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2}[/tex] OR
[tex]L^{2} = h^{2} + (x+4)^{2}[/tex] .....(1)
We also have similar triangles if we consider:
△ABC and △DEC
Which gives us the proportional relationship:
AB:DE = BC:EC
or h/8 = (4+x) / x
h = 8( 4+x) /x
Substituting this last expression for h into Eq [1] we get:
[tex]L^{2} = \frac{(8(x+4))^{2} }{x^{2} } + (x+4)^{2}[/tex]
Our aim is to now minimize L wrt x, and this involves looking for critical points of the derivative, so differentiation wrt x we get:
[tex]2L\frac{dL}{dx} = 2( 8 + \frac{32}{x} ) (-\frac{32}{x^{2} } ) + 2(x+4)[/tex]
At a critical point the derivative is zero and so we have the equation:
= [tex]2 (x + 4) ( 1 - \frac{256}{x^{3} } ) = 0[/tex]
From here we can find the value x :
x + 4 = 0 1 - [tex]\frac{256}{x^{3} }[/tex] = 0
x = -4 x = [tex]\sqrt[3]{256}[/tex]
We require x > 0 so we neglect the -ve solution and only take +ve solution
therefore the minimum height of the ladder can be given by putting the value of x in eqn 1.
[tex]L^{2} = ( 8 + \frac{32}{\sqrt[3]{256} } )^{2} + ( \sqrt[3]{256} +4) ^{2}[/tex]
L² = 277.14
L = 16.64 ft

The correct option is c. that is observation is set of recorded values of variables associated with a single entity.
What is observation?
An observation is a case of the data being collected.
For example, if we were collecting data on students in the class, the observations would be each individual student in the class. It could be the student's height, weight, marks scored, etc.
A variable is an attribute or characteristic of the observation we record in our data.
Also an observation in statistics is a value of something of interest measured or counted during a study or experiment: a person’s height, a bank account value at a certain point in time, or number of animals.
Therefore from the given option c is correct.

Mathematical induction
Yes this question can be proven by mathematical induction
What do you mean by induction in mathematics?
For each and every natural number n, a statement, theorem, or formula can be proved using the mathematical induction technique. By generalizing this into the "Principle of Mathematical Induction," which we would utilize to demonstrate any mathematical assertion.
Here, n ≥ 1
1/1.2 + 1/2.3 + 1/3.4 + .............. + 1/n(n +1)
We employ the idea of Sigma here.
S/1/r(r + 1) { r = 1 to n }
Sigma [1/(r + 1) - 1/(1/r)] { r = 1 to n }
put r = 1 \s1/1 - 1/(1 + 1) = 1 - 1/2
put r = 2 \s1/2 - 1/(2 +1) = 1/2 - 1/3
put r = 3 \s1/3 - 1/(3 +1) = 1/3 - 1/4
........................................................... put r = n 1/n - 1/(n + 1)
after adding
Sigma = [1/(r+1) - 1/(1/r)] {r = 1 to n } = 1 -1/2 + 1/2 -1/3 + 1/3 - 1/4 + ............1/n - 1/(n +1)
= 1 - 1/( n +1) = n/( n +1)
Consequently, 1/1.2 + 1/2.3 + 1/3.4 +... 1/n(n + 1) = n/(n + 1).

the mean selling price of senior condominium in green valley over a year was $215,000. the population standard deviation was $25,000. a random sample of 100 new unit sales was obtained. a. what is the probability that the sample mean selling price was more than $210,000?
The probability that the sample mean selling price was more than $210,000 is 0.9772.
The given values are:
The mean selling price(μ) = $215000
Standard deviation(σ) = $25000
The random sample (n) = 100
We have to find the probability that the sample mean selling price was more than $210000.
z-score with z-bar= 210000
z = (x-bar - μ) / (σ/ √n)
= ( 210000 - 215000) / (25000/ √100)
= -5000/ 2500
=-2
Using z-tables, the probability is:
Probability = P[z> -2]
= 1 - 0.0228
= 0.9772
Therefore the probability is 0.9772.

Subtraction:
Subtraction represents the operation of removing objects from a collection. The minus sign signifies subtraction −. For example, there are nine oranges arranged as a stack (as shown in the above figure), out of which four oranges are transferred to a basket, then there will be 9 – 4 oranges left in the stack, i.e. five oranges. Therefore, the difference between 9 and 4 is 5, i.e., 9 − 4 = 5. Subtraction is not only applied to natural numbers but also can be incorporated for different types of numbers.
The letter "-" stands for subtraction. Minuend, subtrahend, and difference are the three numerical components that make up the subtraction operation. A minuend is the first number in a subtraction process and is the number from which we subtract another integer in a subtraction phrase.

dave is making a rectangular garden bed. after assembling it, he finds that the bed has a width of three-fourths of a foot and a length of nine and one-third feet. what is the area of the garden in square feet
The area of the garden is 7 square feet.
Define area.The area a rectangle occupies is the space it takes up inside the limitations of its four sides. The dimensions of a rectangle determine its area. In essence, the area of a rectangle is equal to the sum of its length and breadth. An example of a quadrilateral with equal and parallel opposite sides is a rectangle. It is a polygon with four sides and four angles that are each 90 degrees. A rectangle is a shape with only two dimensions. A rectangle's area (A) is calculated by multiplying its length ('a') by its breadth ('b'). Area of Rectangle is therefore equal to (a× b) square units.
Given,
Width = 3/4
Length = 9 + 1/3
Length = 28/3

What is the area of the part of the !eld that does not include the blacktop or the fountain? Factor your answer. Pls help
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
to find area of a rectangle we use (L)(W) so we do that here for both of these rectangles first find the area of the black top
5x(3x)
15x^2 is the area of the blacktop
The “!ield” area is next
12x(7x)
84x^2 is the area now we just subtract the two numbers by subtracting coefficients but keeping the rest the same
84x^2-15x^2
69x^2 is the area of the rectangle that is not black top
B- the foundtain we find with the area of circle formula r squared times pi
3x(3x)pi
9x^2pi
Now we just subtract this from the area of the rectangle
69x^2 -9x^2pi is the area

The probability that there are no counts in a 30 second interval is 0.284
What is probability ?
Probability refers to potential.This branch of mathematics deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value's range is 0 to 1. Before we can determine the probability that a particular event will occur, we must first know the total number of outcomes.
Given that,
Assume that a Geiger counter records counts using a poisson process, with an average rate of 2 counts per minute.
0.284
P(X < 10 Seconds) = P(X<1/6 minutes) = F(1/6) = 1-e-2*1/6 = 1-e-1/3 = 0.284
Therefore, the probability that there will be no counts in a 30-second period is 0.284.

each face of a cube is painted either red or blue, each with probability 1/21/2. the color of each face is determined independently. what is the probability that the painted cube can be placed on a horizontal surface so that the four vertical faces are all the same color?
The probability that the vertical faces have the same color painted is 0.6875
There are 6 faces on a cube.
Each face of the cube will either be red or blue.
The probability that one face will have red color = probability that the face will have blue color = 1/2
It is given that the cube is placed on a horizontal surface and the 4 vertical faces have the same color.
The painting of the faces of the cube clearly follows a binomial distribution.
Therefore the probability to color the faces of a cube
= P(4 faces are red, 2 faces blue) + P(4 faces are blue, 2 faces red) + P(5 faces blue) + P(5 faces red) + P(All faces blue) + P(all faces red)
For any binomial distribution
ⁿCₓ X pˣ (1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ
where
n = no. of sample
x = random variable
p = probability of success
Hence we get
⁶C₄ X 0.5⁴ 0.5² + ⁶C₄ X 0.5⁴ 0.5² + ⁶C₅ X 0.5⁵ 0.5 + ⁶C₅ X 0.5⁵ 0.5
⁶C₆ X 0.5⁶ + ⁶C₆ X 0.5⁶
