A roofer leaned a 16 foot ladder against a house if the base of the ladder is 5 feet from the house how high up the house does t

he ladder reach

Answer:

15.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Pythagorean Theorem to find the height.

The hypotenuse of the formed triangle = length of ladder = 16 feet

base = 5 feet

let h = height of house

16 ^2 = 5^2 + h^2

256 = 25 + h^2

231 = h^2

h = root(231) = 15.1986 feet

Answer:

y=120x

Step-by-step explanation:

You can just divide all of the points (y/x) and they all equal to 120. And when you add it to the equation its y=120x

Let t be time in seconds and let r(t) be the rate, in gallons per second, that water enters a reservoir: r(t)=700−40t. a) For 0≤

Flura [38]

What you don't want is the value of r(t) becoming negative. Surely that would represent water escaping the reservoir.

How big can (t) get before water actually starts escaping the reservoir?

Essentially, to figure this out r(t) would have to be equal to 0.

700 - 40t = 0

40t=700

t=700/40=17.5

So the first answer is 17.5 seconds. After this amount of time has elapsed the reservoir will start to lose water as r(t) would become negative.

---------------

The reservoir had the least amount of water in it before it was being filled. That was when t=0. The volume of water in the reservoir wasn't negatively impacted as not enough water had escaped it during the 17.5 to 30 second period.

<u>(a) Sum of multiples of 6, between 8 and 70</u>

There are 10 multiples of 6 between 8 and 70, and the first of them is 12.

This means that:

$\mathbf{a = 12}$

$\mathbf{n = 10}$

$\mathbf{d = 6}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{10} = \frac{10}2(2*12 + (10 - 1)6)}$

$\mathbf{S_{10} = 390}$

<u>(b) Multiples of 5 between 12 and 92</u>

There are 16 multiples of 5 between 12 and 92, and the first of them is 15.

This means that:

$\mathbf{a = 15}$

$\mathbf{n = 16}$

$\mathbf{d = 5}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{16} = \frac{16}2(2*15 + (16 - 1)5)}$

$\mathbf{S_{16} = 840}$

<u>(c) Multiples of 3 between 1 and 50</u>

There are 16 multiples of 3 between 1 and 50, and the first of them is 3.

This means that:

$\mathbf{a = 3}$

$\mathbf{n = 16}$

$\mathbf{d = 3}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{16} = \frac{16}2(2*3 + (16 - 1)3)}$

$\mathbf{S_{16} = 408}$

<u>(d) Multiples of 11 between 10 and 122</u>

There are 11 multiples of 11 between 10 and 122, and the first of them is 11.

This means that:

$\mathbf{a = 11}$

$\mathbf{n = 11}$

$\mathbf{d = 11}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{16} = \frac{11}2(2*11 + (11 - 1)11)}$
