Answer:

The height of the lamp post is 15 feet ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder , the lamp post and the ground formed a right triangle, the length of the ladder is its hypotenuse (l), the height of the lamp post (h) and the horizontal distance on the ground between the base of the ladder and the base of the lamp post (d) are the legs of the triangle

By using Pythagoras Theorem ⇒ <em>the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs</em>

∵ l² = h² + d²

∵ The length of the ladder is 25 feet

∴ l = 25

∵ The ladder is placed 20 feet from the lamp post

- That means the distance between the base of the ladder and

the base of the lamp post on the ground

∴ d = 20

- Substitute the values of l and d in the Pythagoras formula

∵ (25)² = h² + (20)²

∴ 625 = h² + 400

- Subtract 400 from both sides

∴ 225 = h²

- Take √ for both sides

∴ 15 = h

∴ The height of the lamp post is 15 feet

Show work to above problem

Len [333]

$\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad

-------------------------------\\\\
(16x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}\implies \pm\sqrt[2]{(16x^2)^1}\implies \pm\sqrt{4^2x^2}\implies \pm\sqrt{(4x)^2}\implies \pm 4x

8. Is the following statement true or false? Justify your conclusion. If a and b are nonnegative real numbers and a + b =0, then

atroni [7]

Answer:

If $a + b = 0$ then $a = 0$ and $b =0$

a | b | a + b (answer)

0 | 0 | 0

0 | 1 | 1

0 | 2 | 2

1 | 0 | 1

2 | 0 | 2

1 | 1 | 2

2 | 1 | 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the following conditions for the real numbers:

$a\geq 0\\b\geq 0$

Following the rules of these in-equations, it is possible to deduce:

$a + b \geq 0$

Then, if the proposed statement is:

$a + b = 0$

The conditions above shall comply the requirements established, but first, analyzing the statement:

If $a \geq 0$ and $b \geq 0$ then $a + b \geq a$ , $a + b \geq b$ and $a + b \geq 0$ .

If $a = 0$ and b a non negative real number, then $a + b \geq b$ , but because to $a = 0$ , then $a + b = b$ . Due to the commutative property of sums, the same behavior will be presented if $b = 0$ and a a non negative real number.

According to that, if $a + b = 0$ , then $a = 0$ and $b = 0$ .

Tell whether the sequence is arithmetic. If it is, what is the common difference?

Ilya [14]

The answer is B. Yes; 4

Arithmetic sequence is the type of sequence of numbers which difference between each number will always remain constant
in the sequence above we could see the difference between one number with another is exactly 4:

15 + 4 = 19

19 + 4 = 23

23 + 4 = 27
