A 1414​-ft ladder leans against a wall at a point 55 feet above the ground. how far is the bottom of the ladder from the​ wall?
viva [34]
Assume ladder length is 14 ft and that the top end of the ladder is 5 feet above the ground.

Find the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the wall.

Picture a right triangle with hypotenuse 14 feet and that the side opposite the angle is h.  Then sin theta = h / 14, or theta = arcsin 5/14.  theta is

0.365 radian.  Then the dist. of the bot. of the lad. from the base of the wall is 

14cos theta = 14cos 0.365 rad = 13.08 feet.  This does not seem reasonable; the ladder would fall if it were already that close to the ground.

Ensure that y ou have copied this problem accurately from the original.

If f(x)=7x what is the inverse of f(x)
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

f(x)=x/7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=7x

y=7x

x=7y (switch y and x for inverse)

x=7y (isolate y)

x/7=y

The inverse of f(x)=7x is f(x)=x/7

What is the value of x in the diagram?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

here 50 is hypotenuse as it is opposite of 90 degree.

x and x + 10 are the two other smaller sides of a right angled triangle respectively.

using pythagoras theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + (x + 10)^2 = 50^2

x^2 + x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500

2x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500

2x^2 + 20x + 100 - 2500 = 0

2x^2 + 20x - 2400 = 0

2(x^2 + 10x - 1200) = 0

x^2 + 10x - 1200 = 0

x^2 + (40 - 30) - 1200 = 0

x^2 + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0

x(x + 40) - 30(x + 40x) = 0

(x + 40)(x - 30) = 0

either x + 40 = 0          OR x - 30 = 0

x = 0 - 40

x = -40

x - 30 = 0

x = 30

x = -40,30

since the length and distance is not measured in negative ur answer will be 30

A manufacturing plant earned $80 per man-hour of labor when it opened. Each year, the plant earns an additional 5% per man-hour.
baherus [9]

A function that gives the amount that the plant earns per man-hour t years after it opens is \mathrm{A}(\mathrm{t})=80 \times 1.05^{\mathrm{t}}

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that  

A manufacturing plant earned $80 per man-hour of labor when it opened.

Each year, the plant earns an additional 5% per man-hour.

Need to write a function that gives the amount A(t) that the plant earns per man-hour t years after it opens.  

Amount earned by plant when it is opened = $80 per man-hour

As it is given that each year, the plants earns an additional of 5% per man hour

So Amount earned by plant after one year = $80 + 5% of $80 = 80 ( 1 + 0.05) = (80 x 1.05)

Amount earned by plant after two years is given as:

=(80 \times 1.05)+5 \% \text { of }(80 \times 1.05)=(80 \times 1.05)(1.05)=80 \times 1.052

Similarly Amount earned by plant after three years =80 \times 1.05^{t}

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow \text { Amount earned by plant after } t \text { years }=80 \times 1.05^{t}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \text { Required function } \mathrm{A}(t)=80 \times 1.05^{t}}\end{array}

Hence a function that gives the amount that the plant earns per man-hour t years after it opens is \mathrm{A}(t)=80 \times 1.05^{t}
