Answer:

NO, the ladder is too steep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of ladder = 17 feet.  This is the hypotenuse.  

 Side a of a right triangle = 16.6    

To answer this, you need one of the trigonometric functions.      Opposite = 16.5    

hypotenuse = 17    

The function you need is the sine function.    

Sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse    

sin(theta) = 16.5 / 17    

Sin(theta) = 0.97059    

theta = sin-1(0.07059)    

theta = 76.07  

No the ladder is too steep.

Can someone check if this is right please? If not what is the correct way?
Charra [1.4K]

A, B, and C are the coefficients. They are not the terms as you have written now.

A quadratic equation is in the form Ax^2 + Bx + C. Therefore, A = 1, B = 8, and C = -6.

The axis of symmetry is  found using the equation -b/2a, as you've done. Therefore, the axis of symmetry is -8/2(1) = -4.

Hope this helps!! :)

Please help!! Which of the following is equal to the rational expression when x ≠ 2 or -4? 5(x-2)/(x-2)(x+4)
Stels [109]

Answer:

5 / (x+4)      x ≠2 x≠-4

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-2)/(x-2)(x+4)

The denominator cannot be zero so x ≠2 x≠-4

Cancel like terms in the numerator and denominator

5 / (x+4)      x ≠2 x≠-4
