The base of a 40-foot ladder is 8 feet from the wall. How high is the ladder on the wall

Mathematics
1 answer:
borishaifa [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The height of ladder on the wall is 39 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The measure of the ladder = d = 40 feet

The ladder distance from the wall = x = 8 feet

Let The height of ladder on the wall = h feet

Let The angle made by ladder base with ground = Ф

<u>Now, According to question</u>

cos angle = \dfrac{\textrm base}{\textrm hypotenuse}

Or, cos Ф = \dfrac{\textrm x}{\textrm d}

Or, cos Ф = \dfrac{\textrm 8 feet}{\textrm 40 feet}

Or, cos Ф = \dfrac{\textrm 1 }{\textrm 5 }

∴ Ф = cos^{-1}0.2

<u>Now, Again</u>

Sin angle = \dfrac{\textrm perpendicular}{\textrm hypotenuse}

Or, sin Ф = \dfrac{\textrm h}{\textrm d}

Or, sin Ф = \dfrac{\textrm h feet}{\textrm 40 feet}

Or, sin  cos^{-1}0.2 = \dfrac{\textrm h }{\textrm 40 }

Or, 0.9797 =  \dfrac{\textrm h }{\textrm 40 }

∴  h = 0.9797 × 40

i.e h = 39.188 feet

So, The height of ladder on wall = h = 39 feet

Hence, The height of ladder on the wall is 39 feet . Answer

Given the function f(x) = 2|x + 6| – 4, for what values of x is f(x) = 6?
lara [203]

Answer:

x = -1 , - 11,

Step-by-step explanation:

| x | = x

|- x | = x

f(x) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

x = - 1 , f( - 1) = 2 | - 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 1 , f( 1 ) = 2 | 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 7 | - 4 = 14 - 4 = 10 , False

x = 11, f( 11 ) = 2 | 11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 17 | - 4 = 34 - 4 = 30 , False

x = - 11, f( - 11) = 2 | -11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 14 , f( 14 ) = 2 | 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = -14 , f( - 14 ) = 2 | - 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 8 | - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 , False

x = - 26 , f( - 26) = 2 | -26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | -20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = 26, f( 26 ) = 2 | 26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 32 | - 4 = 64 - 4 = 60 , False

                                                    OR

Given f ( x ) = 6

f( x ) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6  = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6 + 4 = 2 | x + 6| - 4 + 4                 [ adding 4 to both sides ]

10 = 2 | x + 6 | + 0

5 = | x + 6 |                                    [ dividing both sides by 2 ]

- 5 =\  ( x+ 6) \ = 5\\\\                            [ \ | x | = a\  => \ -a \ =  x \ = a  \ ]

- 5 - 6 =  \ x + 6 - 6 \ = \ 5 - 6\\            [ \ subtracting \ by \ 6 \ ]

-11 = \ x \ =  - 1

Given the function f (x) = x² + 8x + 7, what are the zeros of f?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

x = - 7, x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² + 8x + 7 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 7) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)

The factors are + 7 and + 1 , since

7 × 1 = + 7 and 7 + 1 = + 8 , then

x² + 8x + 7 = 0

(x + 7)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
