Answer:

The answer to your question is 13.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length of the ladder = hypotenuse = 16 ft

adjacent side = 9 ft

opposite side = ?

Process

1.- To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem

                c² = a² + b²

Solve for b²

                  b² = c² - a²

2.- Substitution

                  b² = 16² - 9²

3.- Simplification

                  b² = 256 - 81

                  b² = 175

                  b = 13.2 ft

4.- Conclusion

The ladder is  13.2 ft resting against the building.

If F(x) = f(x)g(x), where f and g have derivatives of all orders
user100 [1]

a. By the product rule,

F=fg\implies F'=f'g+fg'

\implies F''=(f''g+f'g')+(f'g'+fg'')=f''g+2f'g'+fg''

b. By the same rule,

F'''=(f'''g+f''g')+2(f''g'+f'g'')+(f'g''+fg''')

F'''=f'''g+3f''g'+3f'g''+fg'''

and

F^{(4)}=(f^{(4)}g+f'''g')+3(f'''g'+f''g'')+3(f''g''+f'g''')+(f'g'''+fg^{(4)})

F^{(4)}=f^{(4)}g+4f'''g'+6f''g''+4f'g'''+fg^{(4)}

c. You might recognize the coefficients as those that appear in the expansion of (a+b)^n:

1, 1

1, 2, 1

1, 3, 3, 1

1, 4, 6, 4, 1

and so on; the general pattern (known as the general Leibniz rule) is

F^{(n)}=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nkf^{(n-k)}g^{(k)}

its is the same as multiplying normally .

For example 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8- 2 times 2

you just take the starting number (2) and times it by the other number (2) and youll get 4

What’s is slope and how do you find rise over run
Stolb23 [73]
A slope is a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another both a rising or falling surface.

And to find the rise over run use the slope to find a second point on the line. You will start with the y-intercept and rise up or down and then run left or right depending on the sign of the slope.
