Patty is building a rope ladder for a tree house. She needs two 5 foot pieces of rope for the sides of the ladder. She needs 7 p
ieces of rope, each 18 inches long, for the steps. How many feet of top does patty need to make the ladder
1 answer:
Answer:
20 1/2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length is found by adding the lengths of the individual pieces. It can be easier if you use multiplication in place of repeated addition. You want ...
(2 × 5 feet) + (7 × 18 inches)
At some point in the process, you need to convert inches to feet. This is done by remembering that 12 inches = 1 foot. Dividing inches by 12 gives feet.
The above expression evaluates to
10 feet + 126 inches = 10 feet + (126/12) feet = 10 feet + 10.5 feet
= 20.5 feet

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for b, we want to use the Pythagorean Theorem as given.
b and 7 are the legs, and 12 is the hypotenuse.
[exponent]
[subtract both sides by 49]
[square root both sides]
Now we know .
I'm reading this as

The value of the integral will be independent of the path if we can find a function
that satisfies the gradient equation above.
You have
Integrate
with respect to 
. You get
Differentiate with respect to
. You get
![\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial}{\partial y}[x^2e^{-y}+g(y)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cpartial%20f%7D%7B%5Cpartial%20y%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cpartial%7D%7B%5Cpartial%20y%7D%5Bx%5E2e%5E%7B-y%7D%2Bg%28y%29%5D)
Integrate both sides with respect to to arrive at
So you have
The gradient is continuous for all
, so the fundamental theorem of calculus applies, and so the value of the integral, regardless of the path taken, is

Integrate both sides with respect to
So you have
