It form a right triangle
legnth of ladder is hypotonuse
bottom of ladder from wall distance is one leg
distance up wall is other leg
a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonuse and a and b are legs

4^2+b^2=20^2
16+b^2=400
minus 16 both sides
b^2=384
sqrt both sides
b=8√6 ft
aprox
b=19.59ft from ground

50PTS!<br> Describe the vertical asymptotes and holes for the graph of y = x-5/x^2 -1
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Ok

first of all, for q(x)/p(x)
if the degree of q(x) is less than the degree of p(x),then the horizontal assemtote is 0

then simplify
any factors you factored out is now a hole, remember them

to find the vertical assemtotes of a function, set the SIMPLIFIED denomenator equal to 0 and solve

so

y=(x-5)/(x^2-1)
q(x)<p(x)
horizontal assemtote is y=0

no factors to simplify so no holes

set denomenator to 0 to find vertical assemtote
x^2-1=0
(x-1)(x+1)=0
x-1=0
x=1

x+1=0
x=-1

the horizontal assemtotes are x=1 and -1
