Answer: 24.33\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to draw a Right triangle as the one attached, where "x" is the lenght of a ladder Andrew will need to reach the top and be out of the flower bed.

You must apply the Pythagorean Theorem. This is:

a^2=b^2+c^2

Where "a" is the hypotenuse and "b" and "c" are the legs of the Right triangle.

If you solve for "a", you get:

a=\sqrt{b^2+c^2}

In this case, you can identify in the figure that:

a=x\\\\b=24\ ft\\\\c=4\ ft

Therefore, knowing those values, you can substitute them into  a=\sqrt{b^2+c^2} and then you must evaluate, in order to find the value of "x".

This is:

x=\sqrt{(24\ ft)^2+(4\ ft)^2}\\\\x=24.33 ft

3.) Find the domain and range for each of the following functions.
Delvig [45]
Domain is x’s and range is y’s.

For a, the domain is -2<=x<1
For a, the range is 1<=y<2

For b, the domain is 1<=x<=2
For b, the range is -2<=y<=2

(The <= is the ones with a line under, meaning equal to, if that makes sense. So write with a line under rather than equal sign)
Hope this helps!

Write a word problem for the equation. <br> 1/2 (x-4) = 1/3x + 2
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Half the age of Carlos four years ago is 2 years more than one-third his current age.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write a word problem for the equation.

\frac{1}{2} (x - 4) =  \frac{1}{3}x + 2

Let x represent the present age of Carlos.

Four years ago, Carlos was x-4 years.

Half his age four years ago is ½(x-4)

Two years more than one-third his current age is ⅓x+2
