Using the Pythagoras theorem 

15^2 = x^2 + h^2   where h = height of ladder on the nuiding

h^2 = 15^2 - 6^2  =  189

 = 13.75 ft to nearest hundredth

Answer:

The height of the building does the ladder reach is 13.75 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A painter leans a 15 ft ladder against a building. The base of the ladder is 6 ft from the building.

To find : How high on the building does the ladder reach?

Solution :

Let us take AC=Length of a ladder  =15 ft

BC = Distance between ladder base and wall of a building = 6 ft

AB = Height of the building does the ladder reach =h

Triangle formed is angle ABC which is right angle triangle.  

Applying the Pythagoras theorem,

AC^2 =AB^2 + BC^2

15^2 =h^2 + 6^2

225 =h^2 + 36

h=\sqrt{225-36}

h=\sqrt{189}

h=13.75

Therefore, The height of the building does the ladder reach is 13.75 ft.

Solve each system of equations <br> X^2+y^2+18x+29=0<br> X+y=1
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

two solutions : (-3;4)  and (-5;6)

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

X²+y²+18x+29=0    ..(1)

X+y=1 ...(2)

by (2) : y = 1 - x

put this value in (1) : x² +(1-x)² +18x+29 = 0

x² +1 +x² -2x+18x +29 =0

2x²+16x +30 = 0

x²+8x+15 =0

delta = b²-4ac     a=1   b=8   c = 15

delta = (8)²-4(1)(15)=64-60 =4 = 2²

X1=(-8+2)/2 = - 3

X2=(-8-2)/2 = - 5

case 1 : x = -3    y = 1 - (-3) = 4

case 2 : x = -5    y = 1 - (-5) = 6

How do you substitute x+y=2 3x+2y=5
Monica [59]
Here's how you solve this.  So, x+y=2, right?  Let's isolate x.  x+y-y=2-y.  x=2-y.  NOW, if x=2-y, in 3x+2y=5, we can REPLACE x with 2-y and use it to solve for y!  3x+2y=5.  3(2-y)+2y=5.  (3*2)+(3*-y)+2y=5.  6+(-3y)+2y=5.  6+(-y)=5.  6+(-y)-6=5-6.  -y=-1.  -y/-1=-1/-1.  y=1.

So, if y=1, we can substitute that back into either equation--but let's go with the easier one, x+y=2.  x+1=2.  x+1-1=2-1.  x=1.  1+1=2, so that works; let's check the other equation.  3(1)+2(1)=5.  3+2=5.  5=5.  That's correct!

Answer: x=1, y=1

Solve this equation pls
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

{ \rm{y =  \frac{3 \sqrt{x}  + 2x}{ {4x}^{2} } }} \\

• We are gonna use the quotient rule

{ \boxed{ \bf{ \frac{dy}{dx} =  \frac{ {\huge{v} } \frac{du}{dx}   - { \huge{u}} \frac{dv}{dx} }{ {v}^{2} }  }}} \\

  • u is (3√x + 2x)
  • v is 4x²
  • du/dx is 3/2√x
  • dv/dx is 8x

• Therefore:

{ \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx} =  \frac{(4 {x}^{2})( \frac{3}{2 \sqrt{x} }) - (3 \sqrt{x} + 2x)(8x)   }{16 {x}^{4} }  }} \\  \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx}  =  \frac{(6 {x}^{2})( {x}^{ -  \frac{1}{2} }  ) - (24 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2}  } + 16 {x}^{2} ) }{16 {x}^{4} }  }} \\  \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx}  =  \frac{ 6 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} }  -  {24x}^{ \frac{3}{2} }  -  {16x}^{2} }{16 {x}^{4} } }} \\  \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx}  =  \frac{ - 18 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2}  } - 16 {x}^{2}  }{16 {x}^{4} } }} \\  \\ { \rm{ \frac{dy}{dx}  =  - 2 {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } (9 + 8 {x}^{ \frac{4}{3} } ) \div 16 {x}^{4} }} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \rm{ \:  \:  \frac{dy}{dx}  =   - \frac{8 \sqrt{ {x}^{ \frac{8}{3} }}  + 9}{8x {}^{ \frac{8}{3} } }  \:  \: }}}}

use the plot of the concentration of cu(no3)3 versus absorbance provided. if the absorbance of an unknown was determined to be 0
Helen [10]

Using the linear regression equation, the concentration of the unknown solution is 0.2161 M.

Linear regression describes the relationship of two variables. It may not be exact but it is the line that best fit the data. The equation for a linear regression is in the form y = bx + a, where x and y are the two variables.

If the absorbance of an unknown was determined to be 0.67 absorbance units, using the linear regression equation provided from the plot, substitute the value of absorbance to the variable y and solve for the value of x or the concentration.

y = 3.8674x - 0.1657

0.67 = 3.8674x - 0.1657

3.8674x = 0.67 + 0.1657

3.8674x = 0.8357

x = 0.2161

Hence, the concentration is 0.2161 M.
