Answer:

h = 19.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A 20 ft ladder 4ft from the base of the wall.

The height of the ladder, H = 20 ft

The base distance, b = 4 ft

We need to find the height of the reach. Let it is P.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

H^2=b^2+P^2\\\\P=\sqrt{H^2-b^2}\\\\P=\sqrt{20^2-4^2}\\\\=19.59\ ft

or

P = 19.6 ft

So, the height is 19.6 ft.

I believe you need to solve this using the quadratic formula!
To begin, this is what it is:
x= -b ± <span>√ b^2 - 4ac / 2a
Just plug in what you have in your problem...
2 being a, 13 being b, and -24 being c.
So we get:
x= -13 </span>± <span>√13^2 - 4(2)(-24) / 2(2)
x= -13 </span><span>± √169 - 8 (-24) / 4</span>
<span>x= -13 <span>± √169 + 192 / 4</span>
x= -13 </span>± √<span>361 / 4
The square root of 361 is 19.
So you have: -13 </span><span>± 19 / 4.
Here's where you take the equation </span>-13 <span>± 19 and put the addition and subtraction sign to use.
-13 - 19 = -32
and
-13 + 19 = 6
Now all is left to do is divide the two numbers by 4.
-32/4 = -8
and
6/4 = 3/2

x = -8, 3/2</span>

On the horizontal number line show how you will round 198.78 to the tens place &amp; write the rounded number. Given picture is
harkovskaia [24]
If the three slashes are 190, 195, and 200, we can see it as 
<span>-l----------l--------|--l- with the slightly longer line being around 198.78. Since it is clearly closer to the end of the line than the start of the line, we round it to 200</span>

Given a coordinate point (x, y), the first value of the point represents the value on the x-axis while the second value represent the value on the y-axis.

1.) To express the values (-4, -1), (-1, 2), (1, -4), (2, -3), (4, 3) as a table, we have:

 x          y
-4         -1
-1          2
 1         -4
 2         -3
 4          3

The values (-4, -1), (-1, 2), (1, -4), (2, -3), (4, 3) expressed as a graph have been attached as graph_1


To express the values (-4, -1), (-1, 2), (1, -4), (2, -3), (4, 3) as a mapping, we have two circles with one labelled x and the other one labelled y.
Inside the circle labelled x are the numbers -4, -1, 1, 2, 4 written vertically and inside the circle labelled y are the numbers -4, -3, -1, 2, 3 written vertically.
There are lines joining from the circle labelled x to the circle labelled y with line joining -4 in circle x to -1 in circle y, -1 in circle x to 2 in circle y, 1 in circle x to -4 in circle y, 2 in circle x to -3 in circle y, 4 in circle x to  3 in circle y.

The domain of the relation is the set of the x-values of the relation, i.e. domain is {-4, -1, 1, 2, 4}.
The range of the relation is the set of the y-values of the relation, i.e. range is {-4, -3, -1, 2, 3}

2.) To express the values (-2, 1), (-1, 0), (1, 2), (2, -4), (4, 3) as a table, we have:

 x          y
-2         1
-1         0
 1          2
 2         -4
 4          3

The values (-2, 1), (-1, 0), (1, 2), (2, -4), (4, 3) expressed as a graph have been attached as graph_2


To express the values (-2, 1), (-1, 0), (1, 2), (2, -4), (4, 3) as a mapping, we have two circles with one labelled x and the other one labelled y.
Inside the circle labelled x are the numbers -2, -1, 1, 2, 4 written vertically and inside the circle labelled y are the numbers -4, 0, 1, 2, 3 written vertically.
There are lines joining from the circle labelled x to the circle labelled y with a line joining -2 in circle x to 1 in circle y, -1 in circle x to 0 in circle y, 1 in circle x to 2 in circle y, 2 in circle x to -4 in circle y, 4 in circle x to  3 in circle y.

The domain of the relation is the set of the x-values of the relation, i.e. domain is {-2, -1, 1, 2, 4}.
The range of the relation is the set of the y-values of the relation, i.e. range is {-4, 0, 1, 2, 3}

Simplify each expression as much as possible, and rationalize denominators when applicable. . √54x^2=?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

\sqrt{54x^{2}} = 3x\sqrt{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

\sqrt{54x^{2}} this equals to

\sqrt{3.3.3.2.x^{2} }  now we try to agrupate to have exponent of 2 that we can cancel

\sqrt{3^{2}.3.2x^{2}}  we can take out the ones with exponent from the root

3x\sqrt{3.2} \\= 3x\sqrt{6}
