So leangh of ladder=2x+1
bottom edgre=x-1
wall edge=2x
so therefor, since this is a right triangle, use pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonues=longest side
b and a=sides touching the right angle
so x-1 and 2x are a and b
2x+1=c
subsitute
(x-1)^2+(2x)^2=(2x+1)^2
x^2-2x+1+4x^2=4x^2+4x+1
add like terms
5x^2-2x+1=4x^2+4x+1
subtract 1 from both sdies
5x^2-2x=4x^2+4x
subtract 4x from both sdies
5x^2-6x=4x^2
subtract 4x^2 from both sides
x^2-6x =0
factor out the x using distributive property which is
ab+ac=a(b+c)
x^2-6x=x(x-6)
(x)(x-6)=0
if xy=0 then assume x and/or y=0
x=0
we remember that one of the side legnths is 2x and if x=0 then the side legnth=0 which is not possible, so we discard
x-6=0
add 6 to both sides
x=6
subsitute and solve
legnth of ladder=2x+1
x=6 subsitute
2(6)+1=12+1=13
legnth of ladder =13 feet
height=2x
2(6)=12
height=12 feet
base=x-1
6-1=5
legnth of ladder=13 feet
height=12 feet
base=5 feet
Answer:
I'm guessing they mean the place? If it is, then it's the "hundredths" place
Answer:
a)
We know that:
a, b > 0
a < b
With this, we want to prove that a^2 < b^2
Well, we start with:
a < b
If we multiply both sides by a, we get:
a*a < b*a
a^2 < b*a
now let's go back to the initial inequality.
a < b
if we now multiply both sides by b, we get:
a*b < b*b
a*b < b^2
Then we have the two inequalities:
a^2 < b*a
a*b < b^2
a*b = b*a
Then we can rewrite this as:
a^2 < b*a < b^2
This means that:
a^2 < b^2
b) Now we know that a.b > 0, and a^2 < b^2
With this, we want to prove that a < b
So let's start with:
a^2 < b^2
only with this, we can know that a*b will be between these two numbers.
Then:
a^2 < a*b < b^2
Now just divide all the sides by a or b.
if we divide all of them by a, we get:
a^2/a < a*b/a < b^2/a
a < b < b^2/a
In the first part, we have a < b, this is what we wanted to get.
Another way can be:
a^2 < b^2
divide both sides by a^2
1 < b^2/a^2
Let's apply the square root in both sides:
√1 < √( b^2/a^2)
1 < b/a
Now we multiply both sides by a:
a < b
Answer:
F(1)= (1)2 + 2
2+2
=4
F(5)= (5)2 + 2
10+2
=12
F(1) + F(5) = 12+4
=16
