Item 11

Answer:

4 ft higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ladder is 10 ft long and its top is 6 feet high(above the ground), we find the distance of its base from the wall since these three (the ladder, wall and ground) form a right angled triangle. Let d be the distance from the wall to the ladder.

So, by Pythagoras' theorem,

10² = 6² + d²  (the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse side)

d² = 10² - 6²

d² = 100 - 36

d² = 64

d = √64

d = 8 ft

Since the ladder is moved so that the base of the ladder travels toward the wall twice the distance that the top of the ladder moves up.

Now, let x be the distance the top of the ladder is moved, the new height of top of the ladder is 6 + x. Since the base moves twice the distance the top of the ladder moves up, the new distance for our base is 8 - 2x(It reduces since it gets closer to the wall).

Now, applying Pythagoras' theorem to the ladder with these new lengths, we have

10² = (6 + x)² + (8 - 2x)²

Expanding the brackets, we have

100 = 36 + 12x + x² + 64 - 32x + 4x²

collecting like terms, we have

100 = 4x² + x² + 12x - 32x + 64 + 36

100 = 5x² - 20x + 100

Subtracting 100 from both sides, we have

100 - 100 = 5x² - 20x + 100 - 100

5x² - 20x = 0

Factorizing, we have

5x(x - 4) = 0

5x = 0 or x - 4 = 0

x = 0 or x = 4

The top of the ladder is thus 4 ft higher

Sadie simplified the expression √54a^7b^3, where a&gt;=0, as shown: √54a^7b^3= √3^2•6•a^2•a^5•b^2•b=3ab √6a^5b
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

We are to find the error made by Sadie and then find the correct simplification.

The error Sadie made is that she wrote a^7 as a^2 * a^5 instead of a^6 * a.

The square root of a^6 is a^3 and so she could have further simplified.

The correct simplification is shown below:

\sqrt{54a^7b^3} = \sqrt{2 * 3 * 3 * 3 * a^6 * a * b^2 * b} \\  \\= \sqrt{3^2 * a^6 * b^2 * 6 * a * b} \\\\= 3a^3b\sqrt{6ab}

Graph the function -2x+5y=10
loris [4]
An equation of the form ax+by+c=0, where x, y are variable, and a, b, c are numbers, is called a "linear equation"

the reason we call it linear, is that all solutions (x, y) to this equation, when plotted in the x-y axis, form a line.

To draw this line, 2 points are enough, that is 2 solutions (x, y) of the equation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-2x+5y-10=0 is a linear equation (a=-2, b=5, c=-10)


to find 2 solutions, we set x or y any value we want, and solve for the other

for example: 

let x=0, 

then

-2x+5y-10=0 becomes 5y-10=0, so y=2

this gives us the solution (0, 2)

another example; set y=0

then -2x+5y-10=0 becomes -2x-10=0; -2x=10 so x=-5

thus another solution is (-5, 0)



Draw these 2 points, and join them with a line, as shown in the figure.
