Answer:

77.975degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following;

Length of the ladder = 12foot (Hypotenuse)

Distance from the wall to the base of the ladder = 2.5feet (adjacent)

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity;

Cos theta = adjacent/Hypotenuse

Cos theta = 2.5/12

Cos theta = 0.2083

theta = arccos (0.2083)

theta = 77.975

Hence the angle that the ladder makes with the ground is 77.975degrees

2. Consider the function, f(x)=x^3+x^2-9x-9
Sedaia [141]

The intercepts of the graph are:

x-axis interception: \left(-1,\:0\right),\:\left(-3,\:0\right),\:\left(3,\:0\right).

y-axis interception: \left(0,\:-9\right).

See the graph of the function f(x)=x^3+x^2-9x-9  in the attached image.

<h3>Constructing a graph</h3>

For constructing a graph we have the following steps:

  • Determine the range of values for x of your graph.

For this exercise, for example, we can define a range -4<x<4.  In others words, the values of x will be in this interval.

  • Determine the points

Replace these x-values in the given equation. For example:

When x=-4, we will have: \left(-4\right)^3+\left(-4\right)^2-9\left(-4\right)-9=-21.  Do this for the all x-values of your ranges.

See the results for this step in the attached table.

  • Draw the graph

Mark the points <u>x</u> and<u> y</u> that you found in the last step. After that, connect the dots to draw the graph.

The attached image shows the graph for the given function.

<h3>Find the x- and y-intercepts</h3>

The intercepts are points that crosses the axes of your plot. From your graph is possible to see:

x-axis interception points (y=f(x)=0)  are: \left(-1,\:0\right),\:\left(-3,\:0\right),\:\left(3,\:0\right).

y-axis interception point (x=0) is: \left(0,\:-9\right).

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence 2, 8, 32, 128
Alja [10]
The first term, a, is 2.  The common ratio, r, is 4.  Thus,

a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).

Check:  What's the first term?  Let n=1.  Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8.  Is that correct?  No.

Try this instead:

a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1).  Is this correct?    Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2?      2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2.  YES.

The desired explicit formula is   a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.
