Suppose a 50-foot ladder is leaning against a wall. Which statements about the base of the ladder are true?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

These are the statements that make the question complete:

A. If the base is 24 feet from the wall, the ladder reaches 45 feet up the wall.

B. If the base is 30 feet from the wall, the ladder reaches 40 feet up the wall.

C. If the base is 27 feet from the wall, the ladder reaches 44 feet up the wall.

D. If the base is 14 feet from the wall, the ladder reaches 48 feet up the wall.

Since the ladder leans against a wall, a right angle triangle is formed. Since the ladder is now slant, then it's length becomes the hypothenuse.

The correct statements can be gotten through Pythagoras theorem which says:

A² + B² = C² where C is the hypothenuse and A and B are the other two sides.

Since the hypothenuse is 50, we can test each statement by taking the square of the two sides and add them up, if they are equal to 50² = 2500, then the statement is true.

A. 24² + 45² = 576 + 2025 = 2601 ≠ 2500, therefore it is false.

B. 30² + 40² = 900 + 1600 = 2500, therefore it is true.

C. 27² + 44² = 729 + 1936 = 2665 ≠ 2500, therefore it is false

D. 14² + 48² = 196 + 2304 = 2500, therefore it is true.

From here, statements B and D are true while the rest are all false.

Solve this inequality for x: - 3(x + 3) > 30

Answers

Answer:

x<-13

Step-by-step explanation:

−3(x+3)>30

Divide both sides by −3. Since −3 is negative, the inequality direction has changed.

x+3<30/-3

Divide 30 by −3 to get −10.

x+3<−10

Subtract 3 from both sides.

x<−10−3

Subtract 3 from −10 to get −13.

x<−13

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (4,7) and (8,6). Put
your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line.

Answers

y=-1/4x+8

First find the slope

Slope= y-y1/x-x1

So (6-7)/(8-4) = -1/4

Now take that slope and use one of the points and plug them into the point slope formula to solve for your y intercept.

Point slope formula: y=mx+b

So 7=-1/4(4)+b OR 6=-1/4(8)+b

Either way you’ll get b=8!

Put em together and you get: y=-1/4x+8

Ps you can double check your answer by plugging in one or both of the points into your equation to see if it works :)



Answer:

y - 7 =  [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] (x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find Slope: m = [tex]\frac{y_{2-}y_{1} }{x_{2-}x_{1} }[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{6-(7)}{8-(4)}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{-1}{4}[/tex]

Point Slope Form: y - [tex]y_{1}[/tex] = m ( x - [tex]x_{1}[/tex] )

y - 7 = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] (x - 4)

f(x)=2x^3+ax^2-37x-60

The binomial x-4 is a factor of f(x). Find the value of a.

Answers

Given:

The function is

[tex]f(x)=2x^3+ax^2-37x-60[/tex]

The binomial [tex]x-4[/tex] is a factor of f(x).

To find:

The value of [tex]a[/tex].

Solution:

If [tex]x-c[/tex] is a factor of f(x), then [tex]f(c)=0[/tex].

It is given that, [tex]x-4[/tex] is a factor of f(x), then [tex]f(4)=0[/tex].

We have,

[tex]f(x)=2x^3+ax^2-37x-60[/tex]

Substituting x=4, we get

[tex]f(4)=2(4)^3+a(4)^2-37(4)-60[/tex]

[tex]f(4)=2(64)+a(16)-148-60[/tex]

[tex]f(4)=128+16a-208[/tex]

[tex]f(4)=16a-80[/tex]

Now,

[tex]f(4)=0[/tex]

[tex]16a-80=0[/tex]

[tex]16a=80[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{80}{16}[/tex]

[tex]a=5[/tex]

Therefore, the value of a is 5.

h(x) = x^2 + 2 - x
g(x) = 4x + 5
find (h - g) (x/3)

Answers

Answer:

 x^2 - 15x - 27

----------------------  (Answer C)

             9

Step-by-step explanation:

(h - g)(x) is the difference between funcions h and g.  Subtract g(x) from h(x) as follows:

 x^2 + 2 - x

-(4x + 5)

-------------------

x^2 - 5x - 3  =  (h - g)(x)

To find (h - g)(x/3), substitute x/3 for x in x^2 - 5x - 3  =  (h - g)(x), obtaining:

(x/3)^2 - 5(x/3) - 3

We must expand this and then combine like terms:

x^2/9 - (5/3)x - 3

The LCD of these three terms is 9.  The first term stays as is.  The second term becomes (15/9)x.  The third term becomes 27/9.

Combining these three terms, all with denominator 9, we get:

 x^2 - 15x - 27

----------------------

             9

This matches Answer C.

Explicación paso a paso:

Dada la ecuación

9 x + (x - 7) = (5 x + 4) - (8 - 3 x)

Debemos encontrar el valor de x que satisface la ecuación

9 x + (x - 7) = (5 x + 4) - (8 - 3 x)

Expandir

9x + x-7 = 5x + 4-8 + 3x

Prove that the square of an odd number is always 1 more than a multiple of 4.
Input note: use 2n +1 as your odd number, and leave your answer in the form
4(...) +1
(4 marks)

Answers

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the odd number is 2n+1 note that n can be any number because any even number plus one will be odd. Let's start by squaring 2n+1 to get:

[tex]4n^2+4n+1[/tex]

Consider xy (x times y). xy is a multiple of both x and y because xy/x = y and xy/y = x. So it doesn't matter what n is it will be a multiple of 4. So now we know that 4n^2 and 4n are both multiples of 4. If we add them together, it will still be a multiple of 4. 2x + 4x = 6x and 6x is still divisible by x.

Now the plus 1 will always make it so it will be one more than a multiple of 4.

Length = 8cm

Width = 6cm

Meters of fencing required :

Perimeter of rectangle :

P = 2(length + Width)

P = 2 (8cm + 6cm)
