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

Answer:

Part a .............> x = 11

Part b .............> k = 57.2

Part c .............> y = 9.2

Explanation:

The three problems deal with inverse variation between two variables

An inverse variation relation between two variables means that when one of the variables increases, the other will decrease (and vice versa)

Mathematically, an inverse variation relation is represented as follows:

$y = \frac{k}{x}$

where x and y are the two variables and k is the constant of variation

Now, let's check the givens:

Part a:

We are given that y = 3 and k = 33

Substitute in the original relation and solve for x as follows:

$y = \frac{k}{x}\\ \\3 = \frac{33}{x}\\ \\x=\frac{33}{3}=11$

Part b:

We are given that y = 11 and x = 5.2

Substitute in the original relation and solve for k as follows:

$y=\frac{k}{x}\\ \\11=\frac{k}{5.2}\\ \\k=11*5.2=57.2$

Part c:

We are given that x=7.8 and k=72

Substitute in the original relation and solve for y as follows:

$y=\frac{k}{x}=\frac{72}{7.8}=9.2$ to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear term a variable to the power of one. but there is none of those so theres is no linear term. A quadratic term is a variable to the power of 2, there is one of those so our quadratic term is x^2. A constant term is a term with no variable, thats -7. Our answer is A.
