Answer:

≈ 35.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The model is a right triangle with ladder being the hypotenuse and the angle between the ground and the ladder is 70°

Using the cosine ratio, with l being the length of the ladder.

cos70° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{12}{l} ( multiply both sides by l )

l × cos70° = 12 ( divide both sides by cos70° )

l = \frac{12}{cos70} ≈ 35.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

The ladder is approx 35.1 ft long

The cost of a long-distance telephone call is given by the function
zalisa [80]
The slope would represent the cost per minute, since m is the length of the call in minutes. Logically, D) Cost per minute, is the only one that would work. The connection cost would be just added in, and you wouldn't multiply the cost of having a phone line by how many minutes you're on the phone. The length of the call is already there, it's m, so that wouldn't work either. Therefore, D, cost per minute, is the logical answer. The slope in the equation represents D, cost per minute.

A web server hosting company advertises 99.999 percent guaranteed network uptime. (a) how many independent network servers would
miv72 [106K]
The solution for this problem would be:
Given that there is 99.999%.

Let denote n as the network servers and p as the reliability of each server.
So the probability that the network uptime = 1 - (1 - p)^n

Therefore, (1-p) ^n = 0.00001


a. x= log(1-.99999)÷log(1-.97)= 3.2833 is the answer


1-(1-.97)^3= 0.99999 + 0.0001 = 1


b. x = log(1-.99999)÷log(1-.88) = 5.43 is the answer


1-(1-.88)^3= 0.99 + 0.0001 = approx 1
