Answer: 8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a right triangle and label the sides using the given information. (Drawing below) Use pythagorean theorem to find the missing length:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(building)^2 + (missing piece)^2 = (ladder)^2
6^2 + x^2 = 10^2
36 + x^2 = 100. subtract 36
x^2 = 64. square root of both sides
x = 8
Just plug in 3 for n and then 5 for n to see if an turns out to be 10 and 26.
n=3:
A) an = 8*3+10 = 34
B) an = 8*3 - 14 = 10 OK
C) an = 16*3+10 = 58
D) an = 16*3 - 38 = 10 OK
n=5:
B) an = 8*5-14 = 26 OK
D) an = 16*5 - 38 = 42
So the answer is B
The coefficients would be 6 and 2.
Coefficient of k would be 6 and for n it would be 2.
