we can find the length of the ladder first using pythagorean theorem then use cos⁻¹(x) to find the angle measure
or
we can use tan⁻¹(x) to find the angle measure then use cos(x) to find the hyptotonuse
I'll use the first way
alrighty, so we can find the hypotnuse by using pythagoreano therrem which can be used for right triangles
so if legs are a and b and hytponuse is c then
a²+b²=c²
so
legs are 30 and 50
30²+50²=c²
900+2500=c²
3400=c²
sqrt both sides
10√34=c
the length of the ladder is 10√34 in
ok, so we know hyptonuse is 10√34
cos=adjacent/hypotonuse
but we can use cos⁻¹(x)
cos⁻¹(30/(10√34))=x°
use your calculator
59.03≈x°
the degree measure is about 59° and the length of the ladder is 10√34 in or about 59.3in

Given:
An exponential function passes through the points (0, 12000) and (2, 3000).
To find:
The values of a and b.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
It passes through the point (0,12000). Putting x=0 and f(x)=12000 in (i), we get
Given function passes through the point (2,3000). Putting x=2, a=12000 and f(x)=3000 in (i), we get
Taking square root on both sides.
For an exponential function b cannot be negative. So, .
Therefore, the value of a is 12000 and the value of b is .
