Step-by-step explanation: The Pythagorean theorem states that, in a right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse squared equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides or legs of the triangle.  Algebraically, a2+b2=c2.  In your example, the length of the ladder would be the hypotenuse and the distance from the wall would be one of the legs.  So substitute these values into the equation to get: 32+b2=122 or 9+b2=144 and then subtract 9 from both sides to get b2=135.  Therefore b=√135≈11.62.  If your problem requires an exact answer in its most simplified form, please note that √135=3√15.  Hope this helps you

A community center is trying to raise $1680 to purchase exercise equipment. The center is hopping to receive equal contributions
goblinko [34]

Answer:

x = 1680 / N, where N is the number of people and x the amount each person has to give for equal contribution. So for N = 10 ==> x = 168.

I need help with this geometry question, matching the right ones to each other.

The transformations and their respective descriptions are:

A. (x, y) ⇒ (3x, y) implies horizontal stretch by a scale factor of 3

B. (x, y) ⇒ (x+3, y) implies translation 3 units right

C. (x, y) ⇒ (x, 3y) implies vertical stretch by a factor of 3

D. (x, y) ⇒ (x, y+3) implies  implies translation 3 units up

E. (x, y) ⇒ (3x, 3y) implies dilation with a scale factor 3

<h3>What is Translation?</h3>

Translation is an algebraic transformation of a shape by moving the vertices some units along the x or y axis.

When a shape is translated it may move to a new position depending on the orientation of the translation.

Analysis:

For A, the x coordinate was transformed three times its initial value stretching it horizontally.

For B, the x coordinate moved 3 units further away from its initial value making the new value x+3 and y remaining the same.

For C, the y coordinated was transformed to a value three times what it was, making it to be stretched vertically, since the y-axis is a vertical axis.

For D, the y coordinate was moves 3 units away from its initial position making it to be translated up, since 3 is positive.

For E, both coordinates were stretched 3 units as much as their original value making the shape to dilate.

Prove that (x^5)-(x^2)+2x +3=0 has at least one real root.
lutik1710 [3]
The first one is of order 5, so it has either 1, 3 or 5 real roots (unless any coefficent was complex). Proof complete :)
The other one, if it has a solution, it must be in [-1;1]. Because it only gives positive results the solution is further restricted to [0;1]. Because the cosine function is continuous and strictly decreasing on this interval, the difference of x and it's cosine will shrink up to some point within the interval where it gets to 0 (the solution) and then flips sign (the cosine gets less than the number), further decreasing until the end of the interval.
