Answer:

The base of the ladder is 2.58 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The angle of elevation for a ladder from the ground is 75°.

The length of a ladder, H = 10 foot

We need to find the distance from the house should you place the base of the latter. Let the base of the ladder is b. Using trigonometry,

\cos\theta=\dfrac{B}{H}\\\\B=H\times \cos\theta\\\\B=10\times \cos(75)\\\\B=2.58\ m

So, the base of the ladder is 2.58 m.

For which function does f decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

f(x) = 0.85^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function that decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is given by:

f(x) =  {(1 - 0.15)}^{x}

We simplify the parenthesis to get:

f(x) = 0.85^{x}

Therefore the decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is

f(x) =  {0.85}^{x}

The second choice is correct.

What is 5(x-6)+2=7x-6
kvasek [131]

Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-6)+2 = 7x-6\\5x -30 +2 = 7x - 6\\5x -28 = 7x -6 \\5x - 28 + 6 = 7x -6 +6 \\5x -22 = 7x\\5x -5x -22 = 7x - 5x\\-22 = 2x\\-22 / 2 = 2x / 2\\-11 = x

The slope of the line below is 2. Which of the following is the the point-slope form of the line?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:  y + 1 = 2 (x -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Point on the line is (1, -1) and slope is 2

m = 2

y1 = -1

x1 = 1

y - (-1) = 2 (x - 1) or y + 1 = 2 (x -1)
