An electrician leans an extension ladder against the outside wall of a house so that it reaches an electric box 22 feet up. The

ladder makes an angle of 77^{\circ}
with the ground. Find the length of the ladder. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary.

The ladder and the outside wall form a right triangle

The length of the ladder is 97.8 feet

<h3>How to determine the length of the ladder?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Distance (B) = 22 feet

Angle of elevation (θ) = 77 degrees

The length (L) of the ladder is calculated using the following cosine ratio

cos(θ) = B/L

So, we have:

cos(77) = 22/L

Make L the subject

L = 22/cos(77)

Evaluate the product

L = 97.8

Hence, the length of the ladder is 97.8 feet

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Dilate circle A by a scale factor of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, similar figures have sides in the same ratio

3(5) = 15

When dilate A by factor 3, it will look exactly like B

Find maclaurin series
Mumz [18]

Recall the Maclaurin expansion for cos(x), valid for all real x :

\displaystyle \cos(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}

Then replacing x with √5 x (I'm assuming you mean √5 times x, and not √(5x)) gives

\displaystyle \cos\left(\sqrt 5\,x\right) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{\left(\sqrt5\,x\right)^{2n}}{(2n)!} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-5)^n \frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}

The first 3 terms of the series are

\cos\left(\sqrt5\,x\right) \approx 1 - \dfrac{5x^2}2 + \dfrac{25x^4}{24}

and the general n-th term is as shown in the series.

In case you did mean cos(√(5x)), we would instead end up with

\displaystyle \cos\left(\sqrt{5x}\right) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{\left(\sqrt{5x}\right)^{2n}}{(2n)!} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-5)^n \frac{x^n}{(2n)!}

which amounts to replacing the x with √x in the expansion of cos(√5 x) :

\cos\left(\sqrt{5x}\right) \approx 1 - \dfrac{5x}2 + \dfrac{25x^2}{24}
