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

Consider functions f and g.1 + 12f(1) = 12 + 4. – 12for * # 2 and 7 -64.2 – 16. + 1641 +48for a # -12 Which expression is equal
lisabon 2012 [21]

Given the following functions below,

\begin{gathered} f(x)=\frac{x+12}{x^2+4x-12}\text{ and} \\ g(x)=\frac{4x^2-16x+16}{4x+48} \end{gathered}

Factorising the denominators of both functions,

Factorising the denominator of f(x),

\begin{gathered} f(x)=\frac{x+12}{x^2+4x-12}=\frac{x+12}{x^2+6x-2x-12}=\frac{x+12}{x(x+6)-2(x+6)}=\frac{x+12}{(x-2)(x+6)} \\ f(x)=\frac{x+12}{(x-2)(x+6)} \end{gathered}

Factorising the denominator of g(x),

\begin{gathered} g(x)=\frac{4x^2-16x+16}{4x+48}=\frac{4(x^2-4x+4)}{4(x+12)} \\ \text{Cancel out 4 from both numerator and denominator} \\ g(x)=\frac{x^2-4x+4}{x+12}=\frac{x^2-2x-2x+4}{x+12}=\frac{x(x-2)-2(x-2)}{x+12}=\frac{(x-2)^2}{x+12} \\ g(x)=\frac{(x-2)^2}{x+12} \end{gathered}

Multiplying both functions,

How do I solve without s calculator?
baherus [9]
You could solve it ( without a graph) in 2 easy ways :

1 use the equation that you have written in pencil and solve for y

y=3=-x+4
y=-x +1

Or you could use the point slop form after you find the y intercept y=mx+b


-3=4(-1)+b
b= 1

So the answer would be y= -x +1
