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

If $-2 &lt; x \le 3,$ then find all possible values of $5x + 1.$ Give your answer in interval notation.
kotegsom [21]

Answer: (-9, 16]

This is the interval from -9 to 16. Exclude -9 but include 16.

=====================================================

Work Shown:

The idea is to multiply all sides by 5, then add 1 to all sides

-2 < x \le 3

5(-2) < 5x \le 5(3)

-10 < 5x \le 15

-10+1 < 5x+1 \le 15+1

-9 < 5x+1 \le 16

This converts to the interval notation  (-9, 16]

note: a curved parenthesis means "do not include this value in the solution set"; while a square bracket has us include the value. So we exclude -9 and include 16.
