Step 1 : subtract 1 from both sides
Step 2 : Divide both sides by 3
Step 3 : Find the square root of 9
x= (-3,3)
remember negative × negative = positive
I solved the second equation and it’s zero, I’m not really sure how to help with the top on tho. I am really sorry :/
Yes and they will always be coplanar.
It is true that in a word problem, instead of calling it the slope, we call it the starting point instead.
Although the two terms are interchangeable, in presenting the mathematical question, we need to use the term starting point so as to refer to the place where the slope starts, and not the whole slope.
Answer:
No, with the guides in between the two ladders, it is not possible for the lower ends of the ladder to be up to 12 feet apart
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The length of two sides of the step ladder = 12 feet
The maximum value allowable for the included angle between the two 12 feet ladders = 58°
Therefore, the maximum value of the third side facing the included angle is given as follows;
let "a" represent the maximum value of the third side formed by the distance apart of the lower end of the ladder, by cosine rule, we have;
a² = 12² + 12² - 2 × 12 × 12 × cos(58°) = 135.383251901
∴ a = √(12² + 12² - 2 × 12 × 12 × cos(58°)) ≈ 11.64
The maximum value of the third side formed by the distance apart of the lower end of the ladder = a ≈ 11.64 feet < 12 feet
Therefore, it is not possible for the lower ends of the ladder to be up to 12 feet apart.
