Answer:

The distance between the base of the ladder and the building is 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the distance between the foot of the ladder and the building

To get this, we need to have a pictorial representation. Please check the attachment for this

From the pictorial representation, we can see a right angled triangle with a hypotenuse of 26 feet and the other side being 24 feet. We now need to get the third side of this triangle which represents the distance we want.

Mathematically, we can calculate the distance using Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal the sum of the squares of the two other sides of the triangle.

Let the distance we are looking for be D

26^2 = 24^2 + D^2

D^2 = 26^2 - 24^2

D^2 = 100

D^2 = 10^2

D = 10 feet

Answer: 35.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Height of the roof = 24 feet

Height of the ladder = 26 foot

Solution:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

a = 24

b = 26

c^2 = 24^2 + 26^2

c = √576 + 676

c = √1252

c = 35.4 feet

The foot of the ladder is 35.4 foot away from the top of the ladder.

Please help me, i don’t understand this question nor how to do it !!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached picture.

First, compare the highest term of the dividend (x²) to the highest term of the divisor (x).  We need to multiply the divisor by x.

When we do that, we get x² + 5x.  Subtracting this from the dividend, we get -9x + 11.

Now repeat the process.  Compare the highest term of the new dividend (-9x) to the highest term of the divisor (x).  We need to multiply by -9.

When we do that, we get -9x − 45.  When we subtract from the new dividend, we get 56.

So the quotient is x − 9, and the remainder is 56.

Answer:

  a. see attached

  b. H(t) = 12 -10cos(πt/10)

  c. H(16) ≈ 8.91 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a.</h3>

The cosine function has its extreme (positive) value when its argument is 0, so we like to use that function for circular motion problems that have an extreme value at t=0. The midline of the function needs to be adjusted upward from 0 to a value that is 2 m more than the 10 m radius. The amplitude of the function will be the 10 m radius. The period of the function is 20 seconds, so the cosine function will be scaled so that one full period is completed at t=20. That is, the argument of the cosine will be 2π(t/20) = πt/10.

The function describing the height will be ...

  H(t) = 12 -10cos(πt/10)

The graph of it is attached.

__

<h3>b. </h3>

See part a.

__

<h3>c.</h3>

The wheel will reach the top of its travel after 1/2 of its period, or t=10. Then 6 seconds later is t=16.

  H(16) = 12 -10cos(π(16/10) = 12 -10cos(1.6π) ≈ 12 -10(0.309017) ≈ 8.90983

The height of the rider 6 seconds after passing the top will be about 8.91 m.

Who invented math and how we know the right
Alla [95]

Answer:

Beginning in the 6th century BC with the Pythagoreans, with Greek mathematics the Ancient Greeks began a systematic study of mathematics as a subject in its own right. Around 300 BC, Euclid introduced the axiomatic method still used in mathematics today, consisting of definition, axiom, theorem, and proof.

Archimedes is known as the Father Of Mathematics. He lived between 287 BC – 212 BC. Syracuse, the Greek island of Sicily was his birthplace.

Necessarily we don't know if math is 'right', for there are solvable problems and unsolvable problems.
