A 20-foot ladder is leaning on a

Mathematics

Gwar [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

From the bottom of the building to the top of the ladder, it is 16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Depending on what grade you are in, you might know the Pythagorean theorem, whose equation is a^2+b^2=C^2 The measurement of the leaning ladder (20ft) is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is the leg length (12ft). With this information we know the "c" of the equation, and the "b" or "a" of the equation. If we plug in the number for the letter the equation will look like this:  

12^2+b=20^2. 20 to the second power is 400, and 12 to the second power is 144. You can use the subtraction property of equality and get b^2=256. Use can use a calculator for this part. The square root of 256 is 16, which leaves the equation with b=16

Y=x^2-5, solve for x

y+5=x^2

x=√(y+5) so 

f^-1(x)=√(y+5)

WILL GIVE 32 POINTS FOR WHOEVER GIVES CORRECT ANSWER
Brilliant_brown [7]

Graph the line that goes through the point (3,-1) and has a y-intercept of -4:

You can simply graph two points to create the line for this problem. The points are (3, -1) and (0, -4). The slope for this line is 1/1 too, which means that if you need more points, you would start at either of the two given points and go up one unit and over one unit to the right.

Select three points that the line would go through (y = x - 3):

In the equation, the y-intercept is given, which is one point - (0,-3). Then, we can go up one unit and right one unit to find a second point - (1,-2). And also down one unit and left one unit to find a third point - (-1,4).

Which equation represents the same relationship shown in the graph:

First, let's find the y-intercept, which is (0,6). Then, we can find other points where the line crosses and count how many units up and to the right that would be, which is 1/1. Therefore, the correct equation is B - y = x + 6.

Which of the following graphs represents y = x - 2:

The y-intercept is (0,-2) and the slope is positive and 1/1. We are looking for a graph that crosses through the point (0,-2), points up and to the right, and increases by 1 unit up and 1 unit right each time. Therefore, the correct graph is B.

Hope this helps!! :)
