The factors of 27 is as follows:
1,3,9, and 27
or
1×27
and
3×9
Cross multiply or just multiply both sides by 24
24x/6=36
4x=36
divide both sides by 4
x=9
Answer: C
y=-5cos(x) is the graphed equation. Cos(x) starts at (0,0) and one period is 2pi or 6.28 and by cos(x) multiplied by -5 starts the cosine wave at (0,-5) and thus corresponds to the graphed equation shown.
Any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks
It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
