A ladder that is 13 meters long is leaning against a wall. The distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall is 7 meters

less than the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground. Create an equation that models the length of the ladder in terms of x, which is the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equation that is used to model the length of ladder in terms of x is:

                   x^2-7x-60=0

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We can model this problem with the help of a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 meters and the other two legs are x meters and (x-7) meters.

where x is the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.

and (x-7) is the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall.

Hence, using Pythagorean Theorem we have:

13^2=x^2+(x-7)^2\\\\i.e.\\\\169=x^2+x^2+49-14x\\\\i.e.\\\\169=2x^2-14x+49\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x+49-169=0\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x-120=0\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2-7x-60=0

                 Hence, the answer is:

                  x^2-7x-60=0

Oh no :DDDD
so you gan take the pythagorean formula, as it is a right triangle and modify dat.
169 =  {x}^{2}  +  {(x - 7)}^{2}
twelve and five if yuo need to know numbres :DDDD

Bytecoin is a new cryptocurrency that is currently valued at $243 per coin. You want to make an investment and purchase 1 Byteco
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate of the coin is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

y = ab^x

y = b(1 + r)^ t

Where

y represents the value of the coin after x months.

x represents the number of months.

a represents the initial value of the coin.

b represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

a = 243

b = 1 + 15/100 = 1 + 0.15 = 1.15

Therefore, the exponential expression to determine the number of months, x it will take for the coin to attain a certain value, y is expressed as

y = 243(1.15)^x

If y = 1000, it means that

1000 = 243(1.15)^x

1000/243 = 1.15^x

4.115 = 1.15^x

Taking log of both sides, it becomes

log 4.115 = xlog1.15

0.614 = 0.061x

x = 0.614/0.061

x = 10 months

It will take 10 months

I need help ASAP middle school work.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

For 11  1/2 gallons, he paid $36.80.

We need to find the cost per gallon.

First, converting 11  1/2 gallons to decimal, it is:

1/2 = 0.5

So, 11  1/2  is  11.5 gallons

So, Cost Per Gallon (last week) = \frac{36.80}{11.5}=3.2

There is 5% increase on this $3.20 per gallon. We find 5% of 3.2 and add it to 3.2 to find this week's cost per gallon.

<em>5% = 5/100 = 0.05</em>

<em>0.05 * 3.20 = 0.16</em>

<em>So,</em>

<em>3.20 + 0.16  = $3.36 per gallon</em>

<em />

Cost Per Gallon (this week) = $3.36

To buy 9  1/4 gallons it would take:

3.36*9.25=31.08

<u>Note:</u>  1/4 = 0.25, so 9  1/4 = 9.25

It would cost $31.08  to buy  9.25 gallons this week

Correct answer is B
