Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the illustration for the problem is a right triangle with:

hypotenuse (C)= the length of the ladder = L

horizontal side(A) = distance from bottom of the ladder to the building = L - 6

vertical side(B) = distance from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the building = L - 3

So, we can use Pythagoras formula:

A2 +B2= C2

(L – 6 )² + (L-3)² = L²

L²-12L+36+L²-6L+9 =L²

L2 -18L+45 =0

APPLYING QUADRATIC FORMULA WE OBTAIN:

L =15 OR L=3

If L=3

Vertical side = L-3 = 0 (Length can´t be 0)

So L=15

What is the slope and y-intercept from the table below?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The equation is y = -5x + 55

Slope = -5

y-intercept = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table shows the different coordinates of points on a straight line.

The general equation of a line is y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Actually , here only 2 values are needed but there are 4 values                       given which is just to check whether our line is correct or not.

Substitute values of x and y in the equation.

Put (1,50),

50 = m + b    ----------(1)

Put (2,45),

45 = 2m + b    -----------(2)

Solve (1) and (2),

Slope , m = -5

y-intercept , b = 55

Hence , the equation is y = -5x + 55.

What is the answer to this question
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

3) 124

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 10

a2 = a1+6 = 10+6 = 16

a3 = a2+6 = a1+6+6 = a1 + 2×6 = 22

a4 = a3+6 = a2+6+6 = a1+6+6+6 = a1 + 3×6 = 28

...

=>

an = an-1 + 6 = a1 + 6(n-1)

=>

a20 = a1 + 6(20-1) = 10 + 6×19 = 10+114 = 124
