We can utilize the Pythagorean theorem to answer this.

11 is the hypotenuse in this case, and 2 is one of the legs.

11² = 2² + x² =

121 = 4 + x²

117 = x²

√117 = x

Answer = √117

Answer:  \sqrt{117} feet or about 10.82 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given situation , the ladder meeting the ground and the building is making right triangle with them [∵ building is standing vertical to the ground.]  

Then, by Pythagoras theorem of right triangles , we have

l^2=h^2+b^2    (1), where l is ladder's height ,l h is building's height and b is the base .

Given : The base of a 11 foot ladder is 2 feet from a building .

i.e. l = 11 foot and b = 2 foot

Substitute the values in the above formula (1) we get

(11)^2=h^2+(2)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 121=h^2+4\\\\\Rightarrow\ h^2=121-4\\\\\Rightarrow\ h^2= 117\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\sqrt{117}=10.8166538264\approx10.82 \text{ feet}

Hence, the height of building is \sqrt{117} feet or about 10.82 feet.

astraxan [27]
We can use a factorial to solve this: 

3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6

So, she can wear them in a total of 6 combos.

Calculate two iterations of Newton's Method for the function using the given initial guess. (Round your answers to four decimal
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The first and second iteration of Newton's Method are 3 and \frac{11}{6}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Newton's Method is a multi-step numerical method for continuous diffentiable function of the form f(x) = 0 based on the following formula:

x_{i+1} = x_{i} -\frac{f(x_{i})}{f'(x_{i})}

Where:

x_{i} - i-th Approximation, dimensionless.

x_{i+1} - (i+1)-th Approximation, dimensionless.

f(x_{i}) - Function evaluated at i-th Approximation, dimensionless.

f'(x_{i}) - First derivative evaluated at (i+1)-th Approximation, dimensionless.

Let be f(x) = x^{2}-8 and f'(x) = 2\cdot x, the resultant expression is:

x_{i+1} = x_{i} -\frac{x_{i}^{2}-8}{2\cdot x_{i}}

First iteration: (x_{1} = 2)

x_{2} = 2-\frac{2^{2}-8}{2\cdot (2)}

x_{2} = 2 + \frac{4}{4}

x_{2} = 3

Second iteration: (x_{2} = 3)

x_{3} = 3-\frac{3^{2}-8}{2\cdot (3)}

x_{3} = 2 - \frac{1}{6}

x_{3} = \frac{11}{6}

If f(x) = 2x + 3, what is f(–1)?
Helen [10]

Answer:

Normally, sequences don't go behind 1, but let's see for this one.

f(-1) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's sub for -1 in x.

f(-1) = 2(-1) + 3.

f(-1) = -2 + 3

f(-1) = 1

:)
