If the top of a 4.50 m ladder reaches twice as far up a vertical wall as the foot of the

Mathematics
1 answer:
STALIN [3.7K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

4 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of ladder, L = 4.50 m

Base of ladder from the wall, B = x

Height of the wall, H = 2x

Using Pythagoras theorem

L^2 = B^2 + H^2

4.5^2 = x^2 + (2x)^2

5x^2 = 4.5^2

x = 2\ m\ (approx.)

Height of the wall  is equal to 2 x 2 = 4 m.

The product of two numbers is 192. what is the minimum value of the sum of the first value plus twice the second value
VARVARA [1.3K]
Let x and y be the two positive numbers. -  Their product is 192: x *  y  =  192   equation 1

-  the sum of the first plus twice the second is a minimum:  x + 2y

<span>From the first equation, y =  192 / x. 
Substitute that into the second equation:
</span>
 x + 2y = x + 2(<span>192/x ) = x + 384/x

</span>f(x) is minimum when f'(x) = 0 and f"(x) > 0 

f(x)= <span>x + 384/x
</span>
f(x) = 1-384/x^2 

<span>1-384  / x^2 =  0 

x^2-384 = 0 

x^ 2= 354
 x = radical  354    = 18.8  here i'm confused why the number is decimal

What is the approximate distance between the points (-3,-4)(-8,1) on a coordinate grid?
Alex

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[-8-(-3)]^2+[1-(-4)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-8+3)^2+(1+4)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{25+25}\implies d=\sqrt{50}\implies d\approx 7.071
