Answer:
a = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = 3x + 5 , then
f(a) = 3a + 5 and f(a) = - 13 , then equating the right sides
3a + 5 = - 13 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
3a = - 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = - 6
A. square root property
it has one value with x which is x^2 and it cn be easily solved without having to factorise, quadratic formula cant be used as it need ax^2+bx+c=0 format
B. factorising
i just felt like this was easier to factorise than the other 2 options left
C. Completing the square
same reason personal preference
D- Quadratic
the 17 kinda threw me off and i didnt wanna get on factorising or doing completing the square so quadratic formal
Answer:
does not make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We just use the sinus rule to calculate this
a / sin alpha = b / sin beta
Alpha is the 90 degree angle from the wall to the floor
beta is the angle from the top of the ladder to the wall,
wich is 90 degrees - 75 degrees (triangle has 180 degrees angles, one is 90 degrees), so beta = 15 degrees
14 foot / sin 90 = b / sin 15
sin 90 = 1
we move the sin15 over to the other side
14 foot x sin 15 = b
b = 3.62 foot
