Answer:
a=-8 b=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+6x-16
x^2+(8-2)x-16=0
x^2+8x-2x-16=0
X(X+8)-2(X+8)=0
(X+8)(x-2)=0
Compare with (X+a)(X+b)
Where we get a=-8 b=2
Answer:
18.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
-use the formula C^2 = A^2 + B^2 for a right triangle, which is made by the ladder and the wall.
-let the ladder be C, the wall be a, the base to the bottom be b.
-substitude into the equation, which will leave us with:
C^2 = 17^2 + 7^2
C^2 = 289 + 49
C^2 = 338
C = square root of 338, which is 18.4 feet!
