The ladder, wall and floor form a right triangle, The angle where the wall and floor meets should be 90 degrees. We know the ladder and the ground makes an angle of 45 degrees, so the last angle must also be 45 degrees since all inner angles of a triangle add to 180.
In this case, we are looking for the hypotenuse. The question tells us the distance of one leg, 7 ft. Since the angle for the ladder and the wall is also 45 degrees, the second leg must also be 7 ft.
Plug this into the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) where c is the hypotenuse.
49+49=c^2
98=c^2
c=approx 9.899
The final answer is about 9.899 ft

The sum of two numbers is 68. The second number is 2 more than twice<br> the first.

Answer:

22 and 46

Step-by-step explanation:

let

one number is x

another is 2x+2

now 2x+2+x=68

or, 3x+2=68

3x=66

or x=66/3=22

so one number is 22 and another is (22X2+2)=46

What does g(n) equal
NikAS [45]
We are given the function: 
g(n) = 3 (\frac{7}{5} )^n

We need to find what g(-3) equals. 

What the question is asking is what is the resulting value after you plug in -3 as n to the function. Meaning you replace the n that is in the function with -3. 

g(-3) = 3( \frac{7}{5})^{-3}

Remember back to the order of operations. 

Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

For this problem we can keep the fraction as it is (unless you are permitted to use a calculator... if that is the case then just plug all that into a calculator) and keep going to the exponent. 

Negative exponents make fractions FLIP. So our fraction will look like this: (\frac{7}{5})^{-3} =  (\frac{5}{7})^{3}

Now that we have it without the negative exponent we need to distribute the cubed power to each number in the fraction (which is essentially the same as saying this: \frac{5}{7}* \frac{5}{7}* \frac{5}{7})

\frac{5^{3}}{7^{3}} =  \frac{125}{343}

We ARE NOT done! We still have this left: 
g(-3) = 3 \frac{125}{343}
Multiplying by 3 you get the following: 

\frac{375}{343}

So what does g(-3) equal? This right here: 

\frac{375}{343}
