Answer:  19.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem formula to solve for how high the top of the ladder reach.  

The formula says  a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a and b are the two legs and  C is the hypotenuse.

In this situation, the hypotenuse will be length of the ladder , and either  a or b will be the length of the ladder from the building or the length of how long the ladder.

a will be 3 ,  and c will be 20. Input in the values  into the formula and solve for b.

3^2 + b^2 = 20^2

9 + b^2 = 400

-9              -9

 b^2 = 391  

    b = \sqrt{391}

  b  = 19.77371   round to the nearest tenth is ,  19.8

Let f (x) = 1/x<br> and g(x) = x² – 3x. What<br> two numbers are not in the domain of fºg?
iren [92.7K]

For this case we have the following equations:

f (x) = \frac {1} {x}\\g (x) = x ^ 2-3x

We must find (f_ {o} g) (x):

By definition of composition of functions we have to:

(f_ {o} g) (x) = f (g (x))

So:

(f_ {o} g) (x) = \frac {1} {x ^ 2-3x}

We must find the domain of f (g (x)). The domain will be given by the values for which the function is defined, that is, when the denominator is nonzero.

x ^ 2-3x = 0\\x (x-3) = 0

So, the roots are:

x_ {1} = 0\\x_ {2} = 3

The domain is given by all real numbers except 0 and 3.

Answer:

x other than 0 and 3

Answer:

  D.  -17%

Step-by-step explanation:

The change from March to April is (April - March) = (100 -120) = -20. As a fraction of the March bill, that is ...

  -20/120 = -1/6

As a percentage, that change is ...

  -1/6 × 100% ≈ -16.667% ≈ -17%

The electric bill changed by about -17% from March to April.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Water went up 4%; groceries went up about 14%, and restaurant changed by -15%.

The percentage change is found by ...

  % change = ((new amount)/(original amount) -1) × 100%

Above, we have rearranged this to ...

  % change = ((new amount) -(original amount))/(original amount) × 100%
