Mathematics

zepelin [54]3 years ago

Answer:

The base of the ladder has a length of 8 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to draw a triangle, as the figure attached.

The hypothenuse of the triangle is the length of the ladder (17 ft).

The height on the wall that the ladder reach is the adjacent (15 ft).

The base of the ladder is our unknown quantity X.

We will use the Pythagorean theorem to express the relation between these numbers:

c^2=a^2+b^2\\\\17^2=15^2+x^2\\\\x^2=17^2-15^2=289-225=64\\\\x=\sqrt{64}=8

The base of the ladder has a length of 8 ft.

Let f(x) = 5x – 3 and g(x) = 2x². Perform the function operation and then find the domain of the result.
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

(f+g)x= 2x²+5x-3

The domain x∈ Real number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that f(x) = 5x - 3 and g(x) = 2x²

(f+g)x = f(x) + g(x)

So, by using the given function

(f+g)x= (5x-3) + (2x²)= 2x²+5x-3

As the result, 2x²+5x-3, is a polynomial, so domain of the result is all the real numbers.

Prove that x=2 if 4^x=8x...where ^ stands for "to the power of".
Romashka [77]
In order to prove this, you simply plug in the number 2 everywhere you see X:

4^(2) = 8(2). 

Simplify

16 = 16 √

Since this checks out, x is proven to be 2.

I need help with this question... phenobarbital elixir contains 2 grams in 1 liter of elixir. How many milligrams of phenobarbit
posledela

To solve this problem, all we need is the conversion factor.

We know that there are:

1 liter = 202.884 teaspoons

 

Therefore the mass of Phenobarbital is:

mass = (2 grams / 1 Liter) * (1 teaspoon) * (1 Liter / 202.884 teaspoons)

<span>mass = 0.00986 g = 9.86 x 10^-3 g = 9.86 mg</span>

Please help me with 1,2,3,show me how you get the answers and show me the steps for 1,2,3,please do not send me link write it ri
Natali [406]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. ok so you need to use Pythagoras which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

substituting 16 and 12 into 'a' and 'b' you get 16^2 + 12^2 = c^2

256 + 144 = c^2

400 = c^2 (square root each side to get ride of the square)

c = 20cm

2. doing the same thing you get c = 22.36 in

3. again doing it you get c = 15Ft

 Hope this helps!
