Answer:

18.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

-use the formula C^2 = A^2 + B^2 for a right triangle, which is made by the ladder and the wall.

-let the ladder be C, the wall be a, the base to the bottom be b.

-substitude into the equation, which will leave us with:

C^2 = 17^2 + 7^2

C^2 = 289 + 49

C^2 = 338

C = square root of 338, which is 18.4 feet!

Answer:

1a) 93ten

1b) 135eight

2a) 565ten

2b) 769ten

Step-by-step explanation:

1a)

1011101

7 digits long the first digit (the one that is most far right) is the ones digit or 2^0 digit and so the last digit (the most far left) is 2^6.

So to put the number in base 10 we do:

1(2^6)+0(2^5)+1(2^4)+1(2^3)+1(2^2)+0(2^1)+1(2^0)

=64+0+16+8+4+0+1

=64+16+8+4+1

=(64+16)+(8+4+1)

=80+13

=93

1b)

93

What is the hightest power of 8 in 93?

8^x=93

8^1=8

8^2=64

8^3 would be a factor of 8 too much

So how many 8^2 's are in 93?

64 goes into 93 how many times?

It's once with a remainder of 93-64=29.

So now 29...what is the highest power of 8 that goes into 29? 8^1=8.

How many times? 3(8)=24 with remainder 5.

So 93=1(8^2)+3(8^1)+5(8^0).

93=135eight

2a) 2341six

2(6^3)+3(6^2)+4(6^1)+1(6^0)

2(216)+3(36)+4(6)+1

432+108+24+1

540+25

565

2b) 30001four

3(4^4)+0(4^3)+0(4^2)+0(4^1)+1(4^0)

3(256)+0+0+0+1

768+1

If the signs of a coordinate of collinear points (-6,-2), (-5,2) and (-4,6) are reversed, would it still be collinear?
Darina [25.2K]
Hello,
the transformation that applies (x,y) to (-x,-y) is a symmetry by the origin.
Every symmetry transforms a line into a  line.

So the new points are also collinear.

Solve for x. 3x+1/14=2x/8
Ludmilka [50]
It depends if it is
1. 3x+(1/14)=(2x)/8 or
2. (3x+1)/14=(2x)/8

if it is 1

1.
3x+(1/14)=2x/8
simplify 2x/8
2x/8=x/4
3x+(1/14)=x/4
find least common multiple of 14 and 4
factors of 14=2 and 7
factors of 4 are 2 and 2 so LCM=2 times 2 times 7=28
multiply both sides by 28
84x+2=7x
subtract 7x from both sides
77x+2=0
subtract 2 from both sides
77x=-2
divide both sides by 77
x=-2/77


2.
(3x+1)/14=2x/8
simpify 2x/8
2x/8=x/4
(3x+1)/14=x/4
find least common multiple of 14 and 4
factors of 14=2 and 7
factors of 4 are 2 and 2 so LCM=2 times 2 times 7=28
multiply both sides by 28
(2)(3x+1)=7x
distribute
6x+2=7x
subtract 6x from both sides
2=x
