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
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The different isotopes have different "half-lives" – the time it takes to lose half of its radioactivity. Pu-239 has a half-life of 24,100 years and Pu-241's half-life is 14.4 years. Substances with shorter half-lives decay more quickly than those with longer half-lives, so they emit more energetic radioactivity.
f(3) is equal to -101.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- The sequence is followed by f(0)=4
- The given expression is f(n+1)= -3f(n)+1
Put n=0,
f(0+1)= -3f(0)+1
f(1)= -3(4)+1
f(1)= -12+1 = -11
Put n=1,
f(1+1)= -3f(1)+1
f(2)= -3(-11)+1
f(2)= 33+1 = 34
Put n=2,
f(2+1)= -3f(2)+1
f(3)= -3(34)+1
f(3)= -102+1
f(3)= -101
Answer: (x+2)*(x-4)*(x+21) = 0 has "many" solutions
Step-by-step explanation: (x+2) = 0 only has one solution.
(x+2)*(x-4) = 0 has two solutions, -2 and 4
(x+2)*(x-4)*(x+21) = 0 has three solutions, -2, 4, and -21, etc
If "many" means more than three, then add another (x+XX) term. A quadratic equation generally has two solutions.
