Answer:
- -28y^4 - 7y^3 + 62y^2 + 5y - 30
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Opening the parenthesis and simplifying by combining like terms:</u>
- (6 - y - 4y^2)(-5 + 7y^2) =
- 6(-5) +6(7y^2) - y(-5) -y(7y^2) -4y^2(-5) -4y^2(7y^2) =
- -30 + 42y^2 + 5y - 7y^3 +20y^2 -28y^4 =
- -28y^4 - 7y^3 + 62y^2 + 5y - 30
It depends on the dimensions of the playhouse and what they question is asking.
Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
Yes it would be 2 and 1/6
