Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a² + b² = c²
4² + b² = 8.5²
16 + b² = 72.25
        b² = 56.25
        b = 7.5

 The ladder reaches a height of 7.5 ft on the wall

A. y - 6 = ¼(x - (-2))

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line can be represented in the point-slope form, y - b = m(x - a),

Where, (a, b) is a point that the line passes through, and m is the slope of the line.

The equation of line WX, is given in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. Which is y = ¼x + 4.

Thus, the slope (m) = ¼.

Since we know the value of m = ¼, and we have a point that the line runs through, (a, b) = (-2, 6), let's write the equation in point-slope form by substituting m = ¼, a = -2, and b = 6 into y - b = m(x - a).

We have:

y - 6 = ¼(x - (-2))

The answer is A

A hot bowl of soup cools according to Newtons law of cooling. Its temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) at time t is given by T(t)
nata0808 [166]
212°F
147°F
23.2 min

1) Initial temperature for t=0
T(0)=68+144e^(0)=68+144=212°F
2) After 15 min
T(15)=68+144e^(-0.04*15)=68+144e^(-0.6)=147°F
3) 125°F -> t=?
125=68+144e^(-0.04t)
144e^(-0.04t)=125-68=57
e^(-0.04t)=57/144=0.4 you can apply ln on both sides:
-0.04t=ln(0.4) solving you get t=23.3 min
