Answer

Find out the how high up the wall does the ladder reach .

To proof

let us assume that the height of the wall be x .

As given

A 25-foot long ladder is propped against a wall at an angle of 18° .

as shown in the diagram given below

By using the trignometric identity

cos\theta = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

now

\theta = 18^{\circ}

Base = wall height = x

Hypotenuse = 25 foot

Put in the trignometric identity

cos18^{\circ} = \frac{x}{25}

cos18^{\circ} = \bar{0.9510565162}

x = 23.8 foot ( approx)

Therefore the height of the  ladder be 23.8 foot ( approx) .

So since you know that x^2-1 is equal to (x-1)(x+1),
you can figure that this factors to
(y^2-x^3)(y^2+x^3)
because you know how the difference of two squares formula, stated on the top line of this answer.

⦁ Evaluate ⦁ 6! ⦁ 8P5 ⦁ 12C4
lisabon 2012 [21]
6! = 6 * 5 *4*3*2*1 =720

8p5 = 8*7*6*5*4 = 6720

12C4 = (12p4)/4! = (12*11*10*9)/4*3*2*1 = 495

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line
navik [9.2K]

Answer: y= 3x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a straight line:

y = mx + b ------(i)

Step by Step Solution:

Step 1: Calculating Slope (m).

m =

y2-y1

x2-x1

m =

2--1

1-0

m =

3

1

m = 3

Now putting value of m in equation (i)

y = 3x + b -----(ii)

Step 2: Calculating Y-intercept (b).

Lets choose the first point, (0,-1) for calculating y-intercept:

y = mx + b

-1 = 3(0) + b

-1 = 0 + b

-1 = b

b = -1
