Answer:
See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the value of x in each of the following
1) x-1+5√x-1+3=0
5√x-1 = -x -2
Square both sides
25(x-1) = (-x-2)^2
25(x-1) = x^2+4x + 4
25x-25 = x^2+4x + 4
x^2 +4x + 4 - 25x + 25 = 0
x^2 - 21x + 29 = 0
x = 21±√21²-4(29)/2
x = 21±√441-116/2
x = 21±√325/2
x = 21±18.03/2
x = 21+18.03/2 and 21-18.03/2
x = 19.515 and 1.485
4) x^4-64=0
x^4 = 64
x = 2.83
The length of the ladder nearest hundredth of a foot is 23 feet.
We have given that,
An electrician leans an extension ladder against the outside wall of a house so that it reaches an electric box 20 feet up.
The ladder makes an angle of the ground.
Therefore we get,
Therefore, The length of the ladder nearest hundredth of a foot is 23 feet.
