Jason accidentally locked himself out of his apartment, but remembered that he left a window open. The window is 8 feet above th

e ground. Since he works part-time at the local hardware store, he went to the store to borrow a ladder. There's a row of bushes along the edge of the apartment, so he will have to place the ladder 6 feet from the building. What length of ladder will Jason need to reach the window?

I won't give you the answer, but I'll explain how to solve it :)

    | <Window is here, 8ft above ground

    |

    |

    |

    |

    |

    |   _     _    _    _   _   _

                                         ^ He has to place ladder here, 6ft away from building

So you have to find the diagonal distance between the point where he has to place the ladder and where the window is. Because it creates a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2=c^2) to find the length of the hypotenuse, or the diagonal distance. a and b are the two sides, so in this case a = 8 and b = 6. Now just square a and b, add them together to get c, and find the square root. What do you get? Feel free to ask if you're still confused.

Answer:

I Think Its 14 Feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

14 feet because the window is 8 feet high and he has to move it back 6 feet. So when you add 8 and 4 you would get the answer of 14 feet.

What is the processor of a computer called?

central processing unit (CPU)

The computer's central processing unit (CPU) is the portion of a computer that retrieves and executes instructions. The CPU is essentially the brain of a CAD system. It consists of an arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), a control unit, and various registers. The CPU is often simply referred to as the processor.

Evaluate the following
IRINA_888 [86]

(a) [\frac{9}{2.6}  - \frac{2.5^{2} }{2.5} ]^{2}

Answer:

[\frac{9}{2.6}  - \frac{2.5^{2} }{2.5} ]^{2}

= [\frac{9}{2.6}  - \frac{2.5*2.5 }{2.5} ]^{2}

= [\frac{9}{2.6}  - \frac{2.5}{1} ]^{2}

*canceling 2.5 in numerator and denominator*

= [\frac{9-(2.5)(2.6)}{2.6} ]^2\\*Using L.C.M of 2.6 and 1 which comes out to be '2.6'= [\frac{9-(6.5)}{2.6} ]^2\\= [\frac{2.5}{2.6} ]^2\\*multiplying and dividing by '10'= [\frac{2.5*10}{2.6*10} ]^2\\= [\frac{25}{26} ]^2\\= \frac{25^2}{26^2}\\= \frac{625}{676}\\= 0.925

Properties used:

Cancellation property of fractions

Least Common Multiplier(LCM)

The least or smallest common multiple of any two or more given natural numbers are termed as LCM. For example, LCM of 10, 15, and 20 is 60.

(b) [[\frac{3x^{a}y^{b}} {-3x^{a} y^{b} } ]^{3}    ] ^{2}

Answer:

[[\frac{3x^{a}y^{b}} {-3x^{a} y^{b} } ]^{3}] ^{2}\\

*using [x^{a}]^b = x^{ab}*

= [\frac{3x^{3a}y^{3b}} {-3x^{3a} y^{3b} }] ^{2}        

*Again, using [x^{a}]^b = x^{ab}*

= \frac{3x^{2*3a}y^{2*3b}} {-3x^{2*3a} y^{2*3b} }  \\= (-1)\frac{3x^{6a}y^{6b}} {3x^{6a} y^{6b} }\\[\tex]*taking -1 common, denominator and numerator are equal*[tex]= -(1)\frac{1}{1}\\= -1

Property used: 'Power of a power'

We can raise a power to a power

(x^2)4=(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)=x^8

This is called the power of a power property and says that to find a power of a power you just have to multiply the exponents.

Answer:

slope= 0

y intercept= -27

Step-by-step explanation:

4y= -108

y= -27

slope= 0

y intercept= -27

since this line will always have -27 as its y value.
