Answer:

Alec is climbing 17 rungs on the ladder of 14 feet ( including first and last rung ) .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the ladder = 14 foot

Distance between Rungs in ladder =  \frac{3}{4}

There is one foot of space on each end of the ladder before the first and last rung .  

To Find:

Number of  rungs are on the ladder =?

Solution:

Let us assume there are 3 rungs. Between 3 rungs there will be two spaces. between four rungs there will be 3 spaces , so between n + 1  rungs there will be n spaces.

Given that length of the ladder = 14 feet

There is one foot of space on each end before the first and last rung.

So length of the ladder between first and last rung = 14 – 2  ( 1 foot of each side) = 12 feet

As distance between each rung = \frac{3}{4}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet =\frac{( 12)}{\frac{3}{4}}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet=   \frac{(12\times4)}{3}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet=\frac{(48)}{3}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet =16

And as for n spaces there will be n + 1 rungs, so for 16 spaces there will be 16 + 1 = 17 rungs.

Geometry help please........

Let m = 10 and n = 2

We know:

y^2 = (m+n).m

y^2 = (10+2).10

y^2 = 120

y = √(120)

Then,

m^2 + x^2 = y^2

10^2 + x^2 = ( √( 120) )^2

100 + x^2 = 120

x^2 = 120 - 100

x^2 = 20

x = √(20)

x = √(4×5)

x = √(4) × √(5)

x = 2√(5)

I hope this has helped!

URGENT. Which is an exponential decay function? ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, there is a ratio of change greater than one so that is exponential growth.

The second one has exponential decay but its x is negative making it actually exponential decay even if graphed.

The third one has positive growth over an interval of negative x, so in terms of  x there is exponential decay.

The fourth one is neither and if graphed is just points as there is a specific solution set.

In conclusion, the third is exponential decay!

Hope this helps :)
