Answer:

The ladder is 5.20 feet tall on the side of the building

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we simply want to calculate the height the ladder is from the base of the building

To get this, we need a pictorial representation of what we have here.

From what we have here, we have a right-angled triangle with a hypotenuse of 10 foot and a base of 3 feet

We apply Pythagoras’ theorem to get how far is the tip of the ladder from the base of building

Pythagoras’ stated that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

In this case, let the height be x

So;

x^2 + 3^2 = 6^2

x^2 = 6^2 - 3^2

x^2 = 36 - 9

x^2 = 27

x = √27

x = 5.196 feet

which to two decimal places is 5.20 feet

If f(x) = 3x – 4 and g(x) = x, find the value of f(3) – g(2).
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(3) = 3(3)-4

f(3)= 9-4

f(3) = 5

g(2) = (2)

g(2) = 2

f(3)-g(2) = ?

(5) - (2) = ?

(5) - (2) = 3

Experiments on learning in animals sometimes measure how long it takes mice to find their way through a maze. The mean time is 1
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

<h3>Option c) H_a:\mu is correct</h3><h3>The alternate hypothesis for the significance test is H_a:\mu</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The alternate hypothesis use the sumbol for the population value

Let p be the proportion , Mean be \mu and stadard deviation be \sigma

The null hypothesis states that population value is equal to the value mentioned in the given claim.

H_0:\mu=18 (by given).

The alternate hypothesis for the significance test states that the opposite of the null hypothesis(based on the claim )

∴ H_a:\mu

The symbol "<" because we want to test if the maze is completed faster and thus if the time has decreased.

<h3>∴ option c) H_a:\mu is correct.</h3>

Choose the values that would complete the general solution for y= arctan (0.7002).
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

  -145°, -325°

Step-by-step explanation:

The principal value of the arctangent of 0.7002 is 35°. The tangent function is periodic with a period of 180°, so the general solution is ...

  y = (35 +180k) degrees . . . . . where k is an integer

Values from the given list include ...

  -145°

  -325°

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

  +35° and +215° would also be part of the general solution
