First we need to find how far away the base of the ladder is from what it is leaning against. The ramp is the hypotenuse and the height from the ground in a leg. Let’s use Pythagorean’s theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Substitute

a^2 + (5)^2 = (20)^2

Solve for a^2

a^2 = (20)^2 - (5)^2

Solve for a

a = 5 √15

The slope will be rise over run

5/5 √15 = √15/15 or 0.258…

Function for g whose graph is similar to f(x)=3x^2 shifted right 6 units and upward 5 units

vladimir2022 [97]

$f(x) = 3 {x}^{2}$

function g has to be the transformation of function f. Therefore,

$g(x) = 3 {(x - 6)}^{2} + 5$

is the answer.

X^2=4x-15 solve with Quadratic formula

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

$x=2+i\sqrt{11}$

$x=2-i\sqrt{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x^{2} =4x-15$ -------> $x^{2}-4x+15=0$

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^{2}-4x+15=0$

so

$a=1\\b=-4\\c=15$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-(-4)(+/-)\sqrt{-4^{2}-4(1)(15)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{4(+/-)\sqrt{16-60}} {2}$

Remember that

$i=\sqrt{-1}$

$x=\frac{4(+/-)\sqrt{-44}} {2}$

$x=\frac{4(+/-)2i\sqrt{11}} {2}$

$x=\frac{4(+)2i\sqrt{11}}{2}=2+i\sqrt{11}$

$x=\frac{4(-)2i\sqrt{11}}{2}=2-i\sqrt{11}$
