Answer:

11.820 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with 52° as the base angle. The side opposite is the height up the building where the top of the ladder rests. So, you have the relation ...

sin(52°) = height/(15 ft)

Multiplying by the denominator gives you ...

height = (15 ft)·sin(52°) ≈ 11.820 ft

___

You may need to round this number appropriately.

Can someone explain thoroughly how I am meant to solve this?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

I got x<equal to -11 or x>equal to4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+15x+44=0

(x+4)(x+11)=0(Factor left side of equation)

x+4=0 or x+11=0(Set factors equal to 0)

x=−4 or x=−11

Check intervals in between critical points. (Test values in the intervals to see if they work.)

x<−11(Works in original inequality)

−11<x<−4(Doesn't work in original inequality)

x>−4(Works in original inequality)

Answer:

x<−11 or x>−4
