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

Step-by-step explanation:

i)

2(x+2)=7

2x+4=7

2x=7-4

2x=3

x=3/2

ii)3x + y =8 , y=x

3x + x = 8

4x = 8

x = 2

Statements about regression
galben [10]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It is true because the square of the standard error of its estimate was its total square error divided only by the degree of freedom.  
  • It is true because Its coefficient with Standardized Regression, beta, will have the same value as r, the approximate similarity.  
  • It is false because Its slope b, of its equation of regression, will have the same value as r, the projected correlation.

daser333 [38]

Answer:

  13 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent sides form half the perimeter, so the sum of the unknown side and the given side is 34/2 = 17 meters.

  4 meters + width = 17 meters

  width = 13 meters . . . . . subtract 4 meters
