Answer:

24.33 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The flower bed, the ladder and the house form a right angled triangle where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse side.

Let L = length of ladder, H = height of house = 24 feet and l = length of flower bed = 4 feet.

Using Pythagoras' theorem,

L² = H² + l²

So, L = √(H² + l²)

substituting the values of the variables, we have

L = √[(24 ft)² + (4 ft)²]

L = √[576 ft² + 16 ft²]

L = √[592 ft²]

L = 24.33 ft

The ladder must be at least 24.33 feet long to reach the top and be out of the flower bed

How do I simplify the following to "a+bi" form: (1+2i)^3
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Expand it.

(1+2i)^3 is equal to (1+2i)(1+2i)(1+2i).

Multiply everything out (being sure to multiply <em>every</em> term. (1+2i) * (1+2i) = 1+2i+2i+4i^2.

i is the square root of negative one, so i^2 is just -1. 1+2i+2i-4 is what you get from the first two, so now simplify that:

1-4 + 2i+2i = (-3+4i) and now multiply that by (1+2i):

(-3+4i) * (1+2i) = -3 - 6i +4i +8i^2.

Simplify again, and the answer is: -11-2i

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps - really my only tip is don't spend time thinking about what i is, that just hurts your brain. Just remember that i^2 is equal to negative one, and treat it like regular multiplication and you will be fine.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line y – 4 = –(x – 6) and passes through
Mkey [24]
Let's convert the equation in point-slope form to slope-intercept form.

y - 4 = -(x - 6)
Multiply everything out.
y - 4 = -x + 6
Add 4 to both sides.
y = -x + 10

To be perpendicular, the slope of the new has to be the reciprocal of the other line. To slope in this equation is -1/1. To get the reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator and change the sign too.

-1/1 becomes 1/-1, and changes to 1/+1, or 1.

y = x + b

Input the coordinate point and solve for b.

-2 = -2 + b
Add 2 to both sides.
0 = b

y = x
