A frisbee landed on the roof of the house. The place where you have decided to place the ladder is right over the AC unit, forci

ng the base of the ladder to be 8ft from the side of the house. If the house is 15ft tall, how long must the ladder be to ensure it reaches the roof? That length will only ensure the ladder reaches the roof exactly. Add 1 extra foot, then tell me the length of the ladder that you would buy?

What is the result of substituting for y in the bottom equation<br> y=x+3<br> y=x^2+2x-4
8_murik_8 [283]

The solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

y = x + 3 ------- eqn 1\\\\y = x^2 + 2x - 4  ----- eqn 2

<em><u>We have to substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>

x + 3 = x^2 + 2x - 4

\mathrm{Switch\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4=x+3\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}3\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4-3=x+3-3\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^2+2x-7=x\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-7-x=x-x\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^2+x-7=0

\mathrm{Solve\:with\:the\:quadratic\:formula}\\\\\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=1,\:c=-7\\\\x =\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{ 1 + 28}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{ -1 \pm \sqrt{29}}{2}

x = \frac{ -1 \pm 5.385 }{2}\\\\We\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\x = \frac{ -1 + 5.385 }{2}\\\\x = 2.1925

Also\\\\x = \frac{ -1 - 5.385 }{2}\\\\x = -3.1925

Substitute x = 2.1925 in eqn 1

y = 2.1925 + 3

y = 5.1925

Substitute x = -3.1925 in eqn 1

y = -3.1925 + 3

y = -0.1925

Thus the solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)
