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

Which of the following equations has infinitely many solutions?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at A and you subtract 3x by 4x you get x and you subtract 3 from -7 and you get -10. But if you look at B you do the stuff in the parentheses first and you get 4x+12x+28=16x+28 and they're the same so it's B.

1. A line passes through the point (2, k) and (4k, 5) and has a slope of 1/2 . Find the value of k.
Doss [256]

(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{k})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4k}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{5}-\stackrel{y1}{k}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4k}-\underset{x_1}{2}}}~~= ~~\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}} \\\\\\ 10-2k=4k-2\implies 10=6x-2\implies 12=6k\implies \cfrac{12}{6}=k\implies 2=k

What are the possible numbers of positive, negative, and complex zeros of f(x) = x6 + x5 + x4 + 4x3 − 12x2 + 12?
gladu [14]
As per Descartes Theorem, a polynomial of degree n (n is the highest exponent of a polynomial) has n roots (or number of zeros) be it positive, negative, real or complex.

in f(x) = x⁶ + x⁵ + x⁴ + 4x³ − 12x² + 12, the highest degree is 6, then it has 
a total of 6 zeros, positive, negative, real or complex.
