Amanda leaned a 15-foot ladder against the top of her house so she could get on the roof, which is 12 feet from the ground.

If you're trying to find the missing side of the "triangle" (the distance from the house to where the ladder touches the ground), you would use the pythagorean theorem, a²+b²=c². (c is always hypotenuse)

a²+b²=c²

12²+b²=15²

144+b²=225

b²=81

√b²=√81

b=9

It would be C since a scale factor of 2 makes the original A coordinate of (3,3) times 2 therefore the new coordinates being (6,6)

In the equation 0.75s-5/8 = 44, how do you combine the like terms?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given equation, the "like terms" are the constants 5/8 and 44.

It simplifies the math if we eliminate the fractions first.  Note that 0.75 = 6/8, so now we have:

8(6/8)s - 8(5/8) = 44).

Multiplying all three terms by 8 (above) yields

8(6s) - 8(5) = 8(44), or

48s              = 8(44 + 5), or 48s = 8(49)

Dividing both sides by 48 yields s:   s = 8(49/48)

Review "like terms:"  These are terms that have at least one characteristic in common.  5/8 and 44 are like terms because they are only constants (no variables are present).  We must add 5/8 and 44.   0.75s does not have a "like term" in the given equation.

Is this a linear function , why or why not ? explain <br> y=x^2-1
kotykmax [81]
If you graph out y = x^2 - 1, you'll see that it is a curved parabola. It is not a straight line. So visually this shows the equation is not linear. It's considered nonlinear.

Algebraically, the given equation does not fit the form y = mx+b which is slope intercept form. So this is more confirmation that we do not have a linear function.

Rewrite 17/20 and 13/15 so that they have a common denominator.
dangina [55]

Answer:

51/60, 52/60

Step-by-step explanation:

20 and 15 are 5×2×2 and 5×3. The smallest common denominator would be 5×2×2×3=60.

Woul I use open or close intervals for x - 1 &lt; 5
JulijaS [17]

Hi there!

You would use open intervals.

In the given inequality, the "<" sign is used, which means "greater than".

Open intervals would be used unless the inequality uses "≤" or "≥", which

mean "equal to or greater/less than". Closed brackets would be used in this

instance.
