A ladder 10 ft long rests against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a rate of 1.1 ft/s,

how fast is the angle between the ladder and the ground changing when the bottom of the ladder is 8 ft from the wall? (That is, find the angle's rate of change when the bottom of the ladder is 8 ft from the wall.)

 <span>let: 
X = the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall at any time 
dX/dt = rate of travel of the bottom of the ladder = 1.1 ft/sec 
A = the angle of the ladder with the ground at anytime 
dA/dt = rate of change of the angle in radians per second 

X = 10 cos A 

dX/dt= -10 sin A dA/dt = 1.1 

dA/dt = -1.1/(10 sinA) 

When X = 6; cosA = 6/10; sinA = 8/10 

Therefore: 

dA/dt = -1.1/(10 x 0.8) = -0.1375 radiant per second. </span>

Solve for x over the complex numbers.
Grace [21]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given x^2+4x+13=0, find the complex roots.  The best approach here is to use the quadratic formula.  Note that a = 1, b = 4 and c = 13.  

Thus, the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, is (4)^2 - 4(1)(13) = 16 - 52 = -36, and the square root of that is plus or minus i√36, or  plus or minus 6i.  


plus or minus i√

The length of an object is measured as 45.8 centimeters. What is this measurement in scientific notation?
inna [77]

Answer:

4.58 * 10 cms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form for scientific notation is

N * 10^n      (where 1 ≤ N < 10 and n = an integer).

45.8 = 4.58 * 10^1  or 4.58 * 10.
