Y = 2x/x-7
x = 2y/y-7
xy - 7x = 2y
-7x = 2y - xy
-7x = y(2-x)
y = -7x / 2-x
y = 7x / x-2
f-¹(x) = 7x / x-2
Answer:
15 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, the illustration for the problem is a right triangle with:
hypotenuse (C)= the length of the ladder = L
horizontal side(A) = distance from bottom of the ladder to the building = L - 6
vertical side(B) = distance from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the building = L - 3
So, we can use Pythagoras formula:
A2 +B2= C2
(L – 6 )² + (L-3)² = L²
L²-12L+36+L²-6L+9 =L²
L2 -18L+45 =0
APPLYING QUADRATIC FORMULA WE OBTAIN:
L =15 OR L=3
If L=3
Vertical side = L-3 = 0 (Length can´t be 0)
So L=15
Divide -10 in 15 = -0.666666666
2d + 14 ( "d" is the number of days after today, and "14" comes from how many feet deep the water is today)
