Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Pythagorean Theorem to find the height.

leg of triangle=  height of ladder = 15 feet

The hypotenuse of the formed triangle  = length of ladder = L

base = 6 feet

What is length of ladder?

L^2 = 15^2 + 6^2 = 225 + 36 = 261

L = root(261)  = 16.155 feet

Factor 2m^3-12m^2+18m completely
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you have to take out the common terms for this expression. In this expression, the common terms ard 2 and m :

2 {m}^{3}  - 12 {m}^{2}  + 18m

= 2( {m}^{3}  - 6 {m}^{2}  + 9m)

= 2m( {m}^{2}  - 6m + 9)

Next you have to factorise the brackets :

{m}^{2}  - 6m + 9

=  {m}^{2}  - 3m - 3m + 9

= m(m - 3) - 3(m - 3)

= (m - 3)(m - 3)

=  {(m - 3)}^{2}

So the final answer is :

2m {(m - 2)}^{2}

2x − 5y = 16 <br>3x + 2y = 5 <br>can you also explain how you did it. Thanks :)
Reptile [31]

Answer:

x=3

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 16

3x + 2y = 5

Solve for x in the first equation.

2x - 5y = 16

2x = 16 + 5y

x = (16 + 5y)/2

x = 8 + 5/2y

Put x as 8 + 5/2y in the second equation and solve for y.

3(8+5/2y) + 2y = 5

24+15/2y + 2y = 5

24 + 19/2y = 5

19/2y = 5-24

19/2y = -19

y = -2

Put y as -2 in the first equation and solve for x.

2x - 5(-2) = 16

2x +10 = 16

2x = 16-10

2x = 6

x = 3
