Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.
AC = the height of the ladder
AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder
BC is the wall of the building.
To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse
Where
# = 70 degrees
Hypotenuse = 20
Adjacent = x
Cos 70 = x/20
x = 20cos70
x = 20 × 0.3420
x = 6.84 feets

This is wrong.
It's supposed to be -4/15.
But try -4/5.
Answer:
a =1 and a=4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is
If we want f(x) to be continuous the denominator needs to be different to 0, otherwise f(x) will be indeterminate.
Now, for a a positive real we have that 
will annulate the denominator, i.e
. But, if a = 1 we have:
so, the value 
won't annulate the denominator.
Now, for a = 4 we have:
so, the value 
won't annulate the denominator.
In conclusion, for a=1 or a=1, the function will be continuos for all real numbers, since the denominator will never be 0.
20 because there are many more
