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

Quadratic functions heeeeeellllppp
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that quadratic functions are parabolas when graphed.  The solutions are where the parabola crosses the x-axis.

1.   The vertex of the parabola in f(x) is (0, 9) which is above the x-axis and the parabola opens up.  So the parabola does not cross the x-axis.  Therefore the solutions are imaginary.

2.  The vertex of the parabola in g(x) is (9, 0) which is on the x-axis and parabola opens up.  Therefore, there is a double solution.

3.  The vertex of the parabola in h(x) is (-1, -9) which is below the x-axis and the parabola opens up.  Therefore, there are two real solutions.

I know this is a long explanation, but that is a way of looking at the problem.

Jim spins a spinner with colors red, blue, yellow, purple, green, and orange. Jim also flips a coin. What is the probability tha
S_A_V [24]
Probability=number of specific outcomes/total possible outcomes

And the probability of two events happening at the same time is P(1)*P(2), or the product of the probabilities of each event...

In this case:

P(primary color)=3/6=1/2

P(head)=1/2

P(primary and head)=(1/2)(1/2)=1/4
