35 = 45 - n
think of it as money
45 dollars take away how many (n) = 35 dollars
45 - n =35
or you can subtract 45 from both sides
-n = 35-45
-n = -10
divide by -1 from both sides
n = 10
The derivative of f(x) at x=3 is 2x=6 approaching from the left side (apply power rule to y=x^2). The derivative of f(x) at x=3 is m approaching from the right side. In order for the function to be differentiable, the limit of derivative at x=3 must be the same approaching from both sides, so m=6. Then, x^2=mx+b at x=3, plug in m=6, 9=18+b, so b=-9.
Answer:
39 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question;
let length of ladder =x feet
height of ladder will be=x-3 feet
ground distance of ladder bottom to building=15 feet
Applying Pythagorean relation
a²+b²=c²
where a=15 feet b=x-3 feet and c=x feet thus
x²-15²=(x-3)²
x²-225=x²-6x+9
collect like term
x²-x²-225-9=-6x
-234= -6x
x= 39 feet length of ladder
distance from ground to top of ladder= 39-3=36 feet
