Let the base of the ladder be x ft and the extension be y ft.
"when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length."
means: x+y=28
"<span>the extension is 4 feet shorter than the base</span>"
means: y=x-4, that is x-y = 4, (taking y to the side of x, and -4 to the other side of x and y)
thus, we have the system of equations:
1) x+y= 28
2) x-y=4
adding the 2 equations, we have:
(x+y)+(x-y)=28+4
2x=32
x=32/2=16
x+y=28, so 16+y=28, thus y=12
Answer: Base: 16, Extension 12
Answer: 30.8
Step-by-step explanation:
if you follow the rules of PEMDAS you'll get 30.8
This is a parabola, meaning the equation is a quadratic, so it has 2 roots or x-intercepts, keeping in mind that vertex will lie half-way between those intercepts.
so what's the x-value halfway between -3 and 7? yeap, you guessed it, 2.
so the axis of symmetry for this vertical parabola will be at x = 2.
