Answer:
11.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the building meets the ground at right angles, the right triangle formed has side length 10 ft and hypotenuse 15 ft. Then the other side length (d) is given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...
d² + 10² = 15²
d² = 225 -100 = 125
d = √125 = 5√5 ≈ 11.2 . . . feet
The bottom of the ladder is about 11.2 feet from the building
Slope intercepf is y=mx+b wherem=slope and b= y intercept
slope is found by doing
(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
points are (6,-1) and (-3,2)
(x,y)
x1=6
y1=-1
x2=-3
y2=2
subsitute
(-1-2)/(6-(-2))=-3/(6+2)=-3/8
slope=-3/8
subsitute
y=-3/8x+b
subsitute and solve for b
(-3,2)
x=-3
y=2
2=-3/8(-3)+b
2=9/8+b
2=16/8
subtract 9/8 from both sides
16/8-9/8=b
7/8=b
y=-3/9x+7/8 is the equation
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the number of dimes. Then 81-d is the number of nickels and the total value in cents is ...
10d +5(81-d) = 530
5d +405 = 530 . . . eliminate parentheses
d +81 = 106 . . . . . divide by 5
d = 25 . . . . . . . . . subtract 81; number of dimes
81 -d = 81 -25 = 56 . . . . . number of nickels
There are 25 dimes and 56 nickels in the box.

<em>Comment on the method of solution</em>
It usually works well to let the variable represent the amount of the highest-value contributor (dimes). This keeps the numbers positive as the solution progresses.
Therefore, function notation is a way in which a function can be represented using symbols and signs. Function notation is a simpler method of describing a function without a lengthy written explanation. The most frequently used function notation is f(x) which is read as “f” of “x”.
Answer:
Alicia runs 21120 feet per day
Step-by-step explanation:
24 miles/6 days 5280 ft/1 mile
you would then multiply 24 by 5280 to get 126760
and afterwards you would divide 126760 by 6 to get 21120 ft per day
