Answer:

13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the part of the ladder on the ground creates a right angle with the building where the base is 7 feet and the hypotenuse is 15 feet

we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the height of the building

let 'b' = height of building

7² + b² = 15²

49 + b² = 225

b² = 176

b = \sqrt{176}

\sqrt{176} = \sqrt{4}\sqrt{4}\sqrt{11} = 2·2\sqrt{11}

b = 4\sqrt{11} which is approximately 13.3 feet

<span>Simplifying (6a + -8b)(6a + 8b) = 0 Multiply (6a + -8b) * (6a + 8b) (6a * (6a + 8b) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 ((6a * 6a + 8b * 6a) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 Reorder the terms: ((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 ((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 (48ab + 36a2 + (6a * -8b + 8b * -8b)) = 0 (48ab + 36a2 + (-48ab + -64b2)) = 0 Reorder the terms: (48ab + -48ab + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0 Combine like terms: 48ab + -48ab = 0 (0 + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0 (36a2 + -64b2) = 0 Solving 36a2 + -64b2 = 0 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '64b2' to each side of the equation. 36a2 + -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 + 64b2 Combine like terms: -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 36a2 + 0 = 0 + 64b2 36a2 = 0 + 64b2 Remove the zero: 36a2 = 64b2 Divide each side by '36'. a2 = 1.777777778b2 Simplifying a2 = 1.777777778b2 Take the square root of each side: a = {-1.333333333b, 1.333333333b}</span>

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP, ILL GIVE 98 POINTS ( show your work)
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a linear relationship

from the table, x changes by +6, y changes by -3 every time

so that means the slope is constant i.e. its a straight line

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=-3/6

= -1/2

take the 1st pt, ( 1, -4 )

(y-(-4)) = slop * (x-1)

y+4 = -1/2*(x-1)

ans is A

Find the zeros of the function. Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second. G(x)=4x^2-484
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

-11, 11

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find when the function crosses the x-axis. You could find this using algebra by solving for x in the equation but I prefer to simply graph it using something like desmos and see when it crosses the x-axis. Doing that I can see the answers would be -11 and 11
