Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The required relation is ...
7n = n^2 -8
0 = n^2 -7n -8 . . . . put in standard form
0 = (n -8)(n +1) . . . . factor
Solutions are n=8 and n=-1.
The negative solution is -1.
8.8 rounding the remainder
Cosα=x/L
L=x/cosα, we are told that the ladder base is 48 ft from the base of the wall and α=39° so:
L=48/cos39 ft
L≈61.76 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)
