Answer:

The ladder is the hypotenuse and one side equals 5 feet.

From the Pythagorean Theorem we can calculate the other side:

other side^2 = 12^2 -5^2

other side^2 = 144 -25

other side^2 = 119

other side = 10.9087121146

Rounding, we get 11 feet.

Answer: 10.9, about 11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + (5)^2 = (12)^2

$\underline{\bf{Given \:equation:-}}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow ax^2+by+c=0$

$\sf Let\:roots\;of\:the\: equation\:be\:\alpha\:and\beta.$

$\sf We\:know,$

$\boxed{\sf sum\:of\:roots=\alpha+\beta=\dfrac{-b}{a}}$

$\boxed{\sf Product\:of\:roots=\alpha\beta=\dfrac{c}{a}}$

$\underline{\large{\bf Identities\:used:-}}$

$\boxed{\sf (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2}$

$\boxed{\sf (√a)^2=a}$

$\boxed{\sf \sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}=\sqrt{ab}}$

$\boxed{\sf \sqrt{\sqrt{a}}=a}$

$\underline{\bf Final\: Solution:-}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow \sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta}$

$\bull\sf Apply\: Squares$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow (\sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta})^2= (\sqrt{\alpha})^2+2\sqrt{\alpha}\sqrt{\beta}+(\sqrt{\beta})^2$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow (\sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta})^2 \alpha+\beta+2\sqrt{\alpha\beta}$

$\bull\sf Put\:values$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow (\sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta})^2=\dfrac{-b}{a}+2\sqrt{\dfrac{c}{a}}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow \sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta}=\sqrt{\dfrac{-b}{a}+2\sqrt{\dfrac{c}{a}}}$

$\bull\sf Simplify$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\bf {\sqrt{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}+\sqrt{\boldsymbol{\beta}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{-b}{a}}+\sqrt{2}\dfrac{c}{a}}}}$

$\underline{\bf More\: simplification:-}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow \sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta}=\dfrac{\sqrt{-b}}{\sqrt{a}}+\dfrac{c\sqrt{2}}{a}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow \sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta}=\dfrac{\sqrt{a}\sqrt{-b}+c\sqrt{2}}{a}$

$\underline{\Large{\bf Simplified\: Answer:-}}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow\underline{\boxed{\bf{ \sqrt{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}+\sqrt{\boldsymbol{\beta}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{-ab}+c\sqrt{2}}{a}}}}$

A hexagonal pyramid is cut by a plane as shown in the diagram. What is the shape of the resulting cross section? see diagram

Alenkasestr [34]

From the diagram you can see that plane cuts each lateral face of hexagonal pyramid and do not cut the base. A hexagonal pyramid has six lateral faces. The intersection of each of these lateral faces with given cutting plane is segment. The figure which consists of these segments is hexagon. This hexagon is not the same as base and even is not similar to the base because the cutting plane is not parallel to the base.

Answer: resulting cross section is a hexagon, correct choice is option 4.

F(x)=3x+10x and g(x)=2x-4, find (f+g)(x)

djyliett [7]

Answer:

15x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Add both of the equations together.

f(x) + g(x)

(3x + 10x) + (2x -4)

Then, combine like terms

3x + 2x + 10x = 15x

15x - 4
