You are given the equation 36 = 9x² + 4y². You are asked to find the slopes of the asymptotes of the hyperbola. A hyperbola has the following general equation x²/a² + y²/b² = 1. the goal here is to find the slopes of the hyperbolic equation. So divide both sides by 36
36 = 9x² + 4y²
(1/36)[36 = 9x² + 4y²]
1 = x²/4 + y²/9
a² = 4
a = 2
and
b² = 9
b = 3
To find the slope, divide a/b and you will get 2/3.
5/6 is 1/6 more than 4/6. All you had to do is subtract 4/6 from 5/6 to get <u><em>1/6</em></u>.
A right triangle is formed with the ladder as the hypotenuse. Since the angle made by the ladder with with ground is given, we can use trigonometric functions to solve for the height of the house.
If we let x be the height of the house and using sine function:
sin 24 = x/30
x = 30 sin 24
x = 12.20 ft
Therefore, the house is 12.20 ft tall
