Answer:

4.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to determine the height of the building using the following:

L^2 = H^2 + B^2

Where

H = Height of the building

L = Length of the first ladder = 20ft

B = Distance from the base of the building = 10ft

So, we have:

20^2 = H^2 + 10^2

400 = H^2 + 100

H^2 = 400 - 100

H^2 = 300

H = \sqrt{300

Next, is to determine the distance of the new ladder from the base of the building (B) using Pythagoras theorem using:

L_2^2 = H^2 + B_2^2

Where

L_2 = 18 --- Length of the second ladder

H = \sqrt{300 ----- Height of the building

So, we have:

18^2 = \sqrt{300}^2 + B_2^2

324 = 300 + B_2^2

B^2_2 = 324 - 300

B^2_2 = 24

Solving for B2, we have:

B_2 = \sqrt{24

B_2 = 4.9

A population of flies grows according to the function p(x)=6(3)^x, where x is measured in weeks. A local spider has set up shop
Doss [256]
The final population of the flies is equal to the growth rate minus the number of flies consumed by the spiders. That is,
                          final population = 6(3^x) - (4x + 1)
Substituting 2 to the x of the equation above,
                         final population = 6(3²) - (4(2) + 1) = 45
Thus, the final population of the flies would be 45.

4m≥m+9&gt;-9+4m<br> Please answer urgent
Vsevolod [243]
Next time, please include the instructions.

This inequality could be broken into two parts:

4m\geq m + 9   AND   m + 9 > -9 + 4m

Focus first on the inequality m + 9 > -9 + 4m.  subtract m from both sides, obtaining:

9 > -9 + 3m.  Next, add 9 to both sides, obtaining:  18>3m, or m<6

Last step:  Determine whether the inequality <span>4m≥m+9 is true if m<6.</span>
