ANSWER:

2.33 foot

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We can calculate the distance from the staircase to the wall, by means of the trigonometric cosine ratio, which is the following:

\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=\frac{\text{ adjacent}}{\text{ hypotenuse}} \\ \theta=75\text{\degree} \\ \text{ hypotenuse = 9 foot} \\ \text{adjacent = x} \end{gathered}

Replacing and solving for x:

\begin{gathered} \cos 75=\frac{x}{9} \\ x=9\cdot\cos 75 \\ x=2.33 \end{gathered}

The distance would be 2.33 foot

Coefficient definition
Naily [24]

Answer:

In mathematics, a coefficient is a factor linked to a monomium. Given a monomium divider, the coefficient is the ratio of the monomium by the divider. Thus the monomium is the product of the coefficient and the divider. The different coefficients will depend on the factorization of the monomium. This is usually next to the letter that accompanies the algebraic fraction. A numeric coefficient is a constant factor of a specific object. For example, in the expression 9x2, the coefficient of x2 is 9. In elemental algebra, numeric coefficients of similar terms are grouped together to simplify algebraic expressions.
