imb a ladder. When you finish the ride you end up 21 feet from the base of the ladder. How tall is the ladder you must climb in order to get to the top

Answer: 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This represents a right angled triangle with the length of the slide being the hypotenuse, the height of the ladder being the height of the triangle and the distance from the base of the ladder being the length.

Solve with Pythagoras rule:

c² = a² + b²

c = hypotenuse

a= length

b = height

29² = 21² + b²

841 = 441 + b²

b² = 841 - 441

b² = 400

b = √400

b = 20 feet

A nest of ants has been growing exponentially in such a way that it's population,P, as a function increasing on average more or
ivolga24 [154]

Not sure question is complete, assumptions however

Answer and explanation:

Given the above, the function of the population of the ants can be modelled thus:

P(x)= 1600x

Where x is the number of weeks and assuming exponential growth 1600 is constant for each week

Assuming average number of ants in week 1,2,3 and 4 are given by 1545,1520,1620 and 1630 respectively, then we would round these numbers to the nearest tenth to get 1500, 1500, 1600 and 1600 respectively. In this case the function above wouldn't apply, as growth values vary for each week and would have to be added without using the function.

On one hand, the function above could be used as an estimate given that 1600 is the average growth of the ants per week hence a reasonable estimate of total ants in x weeks can be made using the function.
