A 25-foot ladder leans against a house. The bottom of the ladder is 7 feet from the house.

1 answer:

8 0

It makes a 74 degree angle.

The sides of the triangle that are given are the side adjacent to the angle the ladder makes with the ground and the hypotenuse of the triangle.

adjacent/hypotenuse is the ratio for cosine:

cos x = 7/25

To solve this, we will take the inverse cosine:

x = cos⁻¹(7/25) = 73.7 = 74

Step-by-step explanation:

$a+(n-1)*d=t_{n}\\\\a+(70-1)*(-43)=t_{70}\\\\a+69*(-43)=500\\\\a-2967=500\\\\a=500+2967\\\\a=3467$

What multiplies to -12 but added together equals -10

Airida [17]

Let the two numbers be x and y, then,
xy = -12 . . . (1)
x + y = -10 . . . (2)
From (2), x = -10 - y . . . (3)
Putting (3) into (1), gives
(-10 - y)y = -12
-10y - y^2 = -12
y^2 + 10y - 12 = 0
$y= \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-(4\times(-12))} }{2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{148} }{2} = \frac{-10\pm 2\sqrt{37} }{2} = -5\pm\sqrt{37}$

Therefore, the two numbers are $-5+\sqrt{37}$ and $-5-\sqrt{37}$

Answer:

This table is a guess-and-check, which means that you input whatever number you think might work in this situation in “city gallons”

Step-by-step explanation:

After you just input that same number to wherever the “6” was in the first row...

E.g., if you put “7” for the next “city gallons”, then you’d put “10 - 7 = 3” in “freeway gal” and so on with ever different number you put in for “city gallons”.

That last part in the way bottom goes the same way! Except you input ”c” instead of a number, which is how you find the actual correct answer.

Hope this helps :)
