Answer:

8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay lets get our variables and notes down first, I'll use the most common terms for this.

Hypotenuse: 12 ft <-- The ladder is the hypotenuse

Leg: 9 <- The height of the top of the ladder on the house

Base: ? <- We need to solve for it.

Pythagorean Theorem says c²-a²=b²

c = Hypotenuse

a & b are both Legs and interchangeable

12²-9²=b²

144-81=b²

     63=b²

   \sqrt{63}=\sqrt{b^{2} }

   3\sqrt{7}=b which is approximately 7.93 which rounds up to 8

The path of a roller coaster over a particular length of track can be represented by a quadratic function f, where f(x) represen
alexgriva [62]
The roller coaster could be represented by the function for Choice D.

If you were to graph this function, you would find that the zeros (x-intercepts) of the function are at the points of -2 and 1. Those are the needed points in the problem.

Since this is a parabola that opens upward, the parabola must be below the axis (or support bar) between those values.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The average scores s (on a 100 point scale) for the students can be modeled by

s = 75 - 6 In(t + 1), 0 < t < 12

where t is the time in months.

a) Since the students were given an exam and then retested monthly with equivalent exams, then,

For the original exam, t = 0

Therefore,

s = 75 - 6 In(0 + 1) = 75 - 6 In1

s = 75 - 6 × 0 = 75

b) the average score after 4 months, t = 4

Therefore,

s = 75 - 6 In(4 + 1) = 75 - 6 In5

s = 75 - 9.66 = 65.34

c) s = 60

Therefore,

60 = 75 - 6 In(t + 1)

6 In(t + 1) = 75 - 60 = 15

In(t + 1) = 15/6 = 2.5

t + 1 = e^2.5 = 12.18

t = 12.18 - 1 = 11.18

t = 11 approximately
