Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario is shown in the attached photo.

Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.

AC = the height of the ladder

AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder

BC is the wall of the building.

To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio

Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse

Where

# = 70 degrees

Hypotenuse = 20

Adjacent = x

Cos 70 = x/20

x = 20cos70

x = 20 × 0.3420

x = 6.84 feets

Use the following steps to prove that log b(xy)- log bx+ log by.
borishaifa [10]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

a.x=b^p

y=b^q

Taking both sides log

log x=plog b

Using identity:logx^y=ylogx

p=\frac{logx}{log b}=log_b x

Using identity:log_x y=\frac{log y}{log x}

log y=qlog b

q=\frac{log y}{log b}=log_b y

b.xy=b^pb^q

We know that

x^a\cdot x^b=x^{a+b}

Using identity

xy=b^{p+q}

c.log_b(xy)=log_b(b^{p+q})

log_b(xy)=(p+q)log_b b

Substitute the values then we get

log_b(xy)=(log_b x+log_b y)

By using log_b b=1

Hence, log_b(xy)=log_b x+log_b y
