Answer:The base of the ladder from the tree is 28ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagorean theorem

Let 100ft= hypothesis is the right angle triangle

Let 96ft be the height of the ladder

Let x be the base of the right angle triangle between the base of the ladder and the tree

h^2=a^2+b^2

100^2=96^2 +b^2

10,000=9216 +b^2

b^2=10,000-9216

b=sqrt(784)

b=28ft

If the length of the minor axis of an ellipse is 6 units and the length of the major axis is 10 units, how far from the center a
Sedbober [7]

The distance from the center to where the foci are located exists 8 units.

<h3>How to determine the distance from the center?</h3>

The formula associated with the focus of an ellipse exists given as;

c² = a² − b²

Where c exists the distance from the focus to the center.

a exists the distance from the center to a vertex,

the major axis exists 10 units.

b exists the distance from the center to a co-vertex, the minor axis exists 6 units

c² = a² − b²

c² = 10² - 6²

c² = 100 - 36

c² = 64

c = \sqrt{64}

c = 8

Therefore, the distance from the center to where the foci are located exists 8 units.

PLEASE HELP QUICK!! WILL OFFER 100 POINTS TO THE FIRST ONE THAT ANSWERS
Reil [10]

Given

x+1 = \sqrt{7x+15}

We have to set the restraint

x+1\geq 0 \iff x \geq -1

because a square root is non-negative, and thus it can't equal a negative number. With this in mind, we can square both sides:

(x+1)^2=7x+15 \iff x^2+2x+1=7x+15 \iff x^2-5x-14 = 0

The solutions to this equation are 7 and -2. Recalling that we can only accept solutions greater than or equal to -1, 7 is a feasible solution, while -2 is extraneous.

Similarly, we have

x-3 = \sqrt{x-1}+4 \iff x-7=\sqrt{x-1}

So, we have to impose

x-7\geq 0 \iff x \geq 7

Squaring both sides, we have

(x-7)^2=x-1 \iff x^2-14x+49=x-1 \iff x^2-15x+50 = 0

The solutions to this equation are 5 and 10. Since we only accept solutions greater than or equal to 7, 10 is a feasible solution, while 5 is extraneous.
