Answer: There are atleast 2 stories that the ladder can reach.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of one story of a building  = 10 feet

Length between the bottom of the ladder and the building = 24 feet

So, we need to find the number of stories that the ladder can reach.

So, Number of stories is given by

\dfrac{\text{Length b/w ladder and building}}{\text{Height of one story}}\\\\=\dfrac{24}{10}\\\\=2.4

Hence, there are atleast 2 stories that the ladder can reach.

A car is travelling at exactly 6 miles per hour and accelerates at a constant rate to exactly 65 miles per hour.
vichka [17]

Answer:

14878.04878miles/hours^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find a solution by understanding the following:

The acceleration rate is defined as the change of velocity within a time interval, which can be written as:

A=(Vf-Vi)/T where:

A=acceleration rate

Vf=final velocity

Vi=initial velocity

T=time required for passing from Vi to Vf.

Using the problem's data we have:

Vf=65miles/hour

Vi=6miles/hour

T=14.8seconds

Using the acceleration rate equation we have:

A=(65miles/hour - 6miles/hour)/14.8seconds, but look that velocities use 'hours' unit while 'T' uses 'seconds'.

So we need to transform 14.8seconds into Xhours, as follows:

X=(14.8seconds)*(1hours/60minutes)*(1minute/60seconds)

X=0.0041hours

Using X=0.0041hours in the previous equation instead of 14.8seconds we  have:

A=(65miles/hour - 6miles/hour)/0.0041hours

A=(61miles/hour)/0.0041hours

A=(61miles)/(hour*0.0041hours)

A=61miles/0.0041hours^2

A=14878.04878miles/hours^2

In conclusion, the acceleration rate is 14878.04878miles/hours^2

Using the Addition Method, find the value of x in the
allochka39001 [22]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=2------------1

-3x+5y=5-----------2

adding 1 and 2 we get

7y=7

y=1

and from (1),we get

3x+2×1=2

3x=0

x=0 is the required value of x.

Answer:

AX = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The medians of a triangle intersect at its centroid.

The position of the centroid X from the vertex A is

AX = \frac{2}{3} AL = \frac{2}{3} × 21 = 14

Look at all the choices

we know that at t = 0, the height of the rock is 16

choices H and I do not have a value of 16 at t = 0.

H: h(0) = -5.2(0)² + 24(0) - 12 = -12
I: h(0) = -4.2(0)² + 26(0) - 20 = -20

so we are left with F and G

if we take choice F and plug in t = 1
h(1) = -4.7(1)² - 25(1) + 16 = -13.7
if we take choice G and plug in t = 1
h(1) = -4.7(1)² + 25(1) + 16 = 36.3

only choice G works for us since it has 36.3 at t = 1

you could have also put these points in a graphing calculator and then use the quadratic regression feature to get an equation that will model this data
