answer is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

use Pythagoras theorem with is a²+b²=c²

if u draw the ladder against the wall you'll get a right triangle .

c is hypotenus which is the longest side of the triangle so it is 30

so you'll get 24²+b²=30²

rearrange to b²=30²-24²

you'll get b=

\sqrt{324}

therefore that is 18

hope you understood :)

Write a linear function f with the values f(−1)=8 and f(5)=6.<br><br> A function is f(x)=
german

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  f(x) = -1/3x +23/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the linear regression function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet to show you the equation of the line through these points:

  f(x) = -1/3x +23/3

__

Approaching this in the usual way, we recognize we have points ...

  (-1, 8) and (5, 6)

The slope of the line through those points is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (6 -8)/(5 -(-1)) = -2/6 = -1/3

Then the point-slope equation of the line is ...

  y - 8 = -1/3(x +1)

Adding 8 gives us a form we can use for a function definition:

  f(x) = -1/3(x +1) +8

  f(x) = -1/3x +7 2/3

Perform the indicated operation. 4/11÷ 4/9
nordsb [41]

The answer you are looking for is 9/11.

When dividing fractions, you multiply the first value by the inverse of the second value. The inverse is found by simply flipping the numbers of the last fraction. So, the inverse is 9/4. Then, multiply 4/11 and 9/4 to get 36/44. 36/44 simplified (divided by 4/4) is 9/11. Thus making 9/11 the answer.

I hope this helps.
