If a ladder is 5.5 m long and it is placed 3 m from the wall, solve and show the work when you use the Pythagorean Theorem to fi

Mathematics
1 answer:
natali 33 [55]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

4.609 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the ladder because it is the slanted side. 3m is one of the other side lengths

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

3^2 + B^2 = 5.5^2

9 + B^2 = 30.25

30.25 - 9= B^2

21.25= B^2

4.609=B

Part A- Create a fourth degree polynomial in standard form. How do you know it is in standard form?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

(a)2x^4-9x^3+x^2+x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the unknown variable in the polynomial.

A polynomial is said to be in standard form when it is arranged in descending order/powers of x.

An example of a fourth degree polynomial is: 2x^4-9x^3+x^2+x-5

We know the polynomial above is in standard form because it is arranged in such a way that the powers of x keeps decreasing.

(b)Polynomials are closed with respect to addition and subtraction. This is as a result of the fact that the powers do not change. Only the coefficients

change. This is illustrated by the two examples below:

(2x^5-3x^2+x)+(3x^5-5x^2)\\=2x^5-3x^2+x+3x^5-5x^2\\=5x^5-8x^2+x\\$Similarly\\(2x^5-3x^2+x)-(3x^5-5x^2)\\=2x^5-3x^2+x-3x^5+5x^2\\=-x^5+2x^2+x

The degrees do not change in the above operations. Only the number beside each variable changes. Therefore, the addition and subtraction of polynomials is closed.

four apples and one banana cost £1.40 seven apples and one banana cost £2.00 work out the cost of an apple and the cost of a ban
beks73 [17]

Answer:

  • apple: £0.20
  • banana: £0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" and "b" represent the costs of one apple and one banana, respectively. Then the purchases can be written ...

  4a +b = 1.40

  7a +b = 2.00

Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...

  (7a +b) -(4a +b) = (2.00) -(1.40)

  3a = 0.60 . . . . simplify

  a = 0.20 . . . . . .divide by 3

Using this in the first equation, we have ...

  4(0.20) +b = 1.40

  b = 0.60 . . . . . subtract 0.80

The cost of an apple is £0.20; the cost of a banana is £0.60.

A video game store allows customers to rent games for 4.75 each. Customers can also buy a membership for $54 annually, and video
ankoles [38]
Answer:

24 video games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of video games.
We have been given that a video game store allows customers to rent games for $4.75 each. So the cost of renting x video games would be 4.75x.

We are also told that customers can also buys a membership for $54 annually, and video games would only cost $2.50 each. The cost of renting x video games after membership would be 2.50x + 54

To find the number of video-games that will cost same for both options, we will equate both expressions as:

4.75x = 2.50x + 54
4.75x - 2.50x = 2.50x - 2.50x + 54


Therefore, a customer would have rent 24 video games in a year in order for the two options to be equal.
