A 25ft ladder is placed 7 feet from the wall, as shown. How high up the wall with the ladder reach?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

24 ft up the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve, letting the 25 ft ladder be the hypotenuse

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

7^2 +b^2 = 25^2

49 + b^2 = 625

Subtract 49 from each side

49-49 +b^2 = 625-49

b^2 = 576

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(576)

b = 24

We only take the positive solution since length cannot be negative

The ladder will reach 24 ft up the wall

Which fraction represents the solution to -6/5/(-3/25) in simplest form?
Tresset [83]
To divide fractions, you flip the denominator and then multiply it by the numerator.

-6 / 5 x (-25 / 3)

Multiply straight across; the negative cancels out.

150 / 15

This can be reduced to 15, which is its simplest form.

(b) For those values of k, verify that every member of the family of functions y = A sin(kt) + B cos(kt) is also a solution. y =
frutty [35]

Answer:

Check attachment for complete question

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

y=Coskt

We are looking for value of k, that satisfies 4y''=-25y

Let find y' and y''

y=Coskt

y'=-kSinkt

y''=-k²Coskt

Then, applying this 4y'"=-25y

4(-k²Coskt)=-25Coskt

-4k²Coskt=-25Coskt

Divide through by Coskt and we assume Coskt is not equal to zero

-4k²=-25

k²=-25/-4

k²=25/4

Then, k=√(25/4)

k= ± 5/2

b. Let assume we want to use this

y=ASinkt+BCoskt

Since k= ± 5/2

y=A•Sin(±5/2t)+ B •Cos(±5/2t)

y'=±5/2ACos(±5/2t)-±5/2BSin(±5/2t)

y''=-25/4ASin(±5/2t)-25/4BCos(±5/2t

Then, inserting this to our equation given to check if it a solution to y=ASinkt+BCoskt

4y''=-25y

For 4y''

4(-25/4ASin(±5/2t)-25/4BCos(±5/2t))

-25A•Sin(±5/2t)-25B•Cos(±5/2t).

Then,

-25y

-25(A•Sin(±5/2t)+ B •Cos(±5/2t))

-25A•Sin(±5/2t) - 25B •Cos(±5/2t)

Then, we notice that, 4y'' is equal to -25y, then we can say that y=Coskt is a solution to y=ASinkt+BCoskt

R = recycling and reuse industry jobs
w = waste management jobs

we know, those two jobs combined are 1,275,000
or
r + w = 1,275,000

we also know that, whatever the "w" jobs are, are really less than "r"
jobs by 1,025,000

"r" has 1,025,000 more than  "w"
or
r = w + 1,025,000
or
r-w = 1,025,000

so... there, just solve by elimination, simple, notice the "w",
is just waiting to be eliminated :)

\bf \begin{cases}
r+\quad  w=1,275,000\\
r-\quad w=1,025,000\\

What is the percent of change from 60 to 87?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

45% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The new number (87) is bigger than the original number (60), so this is a percent increase.

To find the percent of change, which in this case is a percent increase, take the change amount and divide by the original, then convert to a percent.

Subtract to find the change.

87 - 60 is 27.

27 is the amount of change.

change/original

= 27/60

= .45

Times by 100 to change to a percent.

.45 × 100

= 45%
