Answer:

23.41 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the wall

Height of the wall (opposite) = 22 feet

Bottom of the ladder from the wall (adjacent) = 8 feet

What is the length of the ladder?

Length of the ladder (hypotenuse)

Using Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

= 22² + 8²

= 484 + 64

= 548

Hypotenuse ² = 548

Hypotenuse = √548

= 23.41 feet

The length of the ladder is 23.41 feet

Inverse for f(x)=1/2x+3
Semenov [28]

Answer: f^{-1}(x)=2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, we want to switch the y with x and x with y. Once we do that, we solve for y.

y=\frac{1}{2}x+3        [switch x and y]

x=\frac{1}{2}y+3        [subtract both sides by 3]

x-3=\frac{1}{2} y        [multiply both sides by 2]

y=2x-6

Now, we know that  f^{-1}(x)=2x-6.
