The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the

height h that the ladder reaches up the wall is L = StartRoot d squared h squared EndRoot. What height on the wall will a 15-foot ladder reach if it is placed 3. 5 feet from the base of a wall?.

The height on the wall a 15-foot ladder will reach if it is placed 3. 5 feet from the base of a wall is 14.6 feet.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

c² = a² + b²

where

c = hypotenuse

a and b are the other two legs

The ladder length represent the hypotenuse sides

The distance of the ladder to the base of the wall is one of the leg.

The height on the wall the 15 ft ladder reach is the other leg

Therefore,

a² = 15² - 3.5²

a² = 225 - 12.25

a = √212.75

a = 14.5859521458

a ≈ 14.6 feet

Answer:

C. x = -1 ; x ~8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

First we graph f(x)= -\sqrt{x+2} -3

Here we have x+2 under the square root. x+2>=0, x>=-2

So we take some x  values greater than -2  and find out f(x)  to make a table for graphing

x        f(x)

-2       -\sqrt{-2+2} -3=-3

-1        -4

2        -5

Graph it  and extent the graph

Now we graph g(x)= -2|x-3| + 4

Given equation is in the form of g(x) = a|x-h| + k

where (h,k) is the vertex

here h= 3  and k = 4, so vertex is (3,4)

Now make a table, pick some numbers for x  less than and greater than vertex

x     y

-1     -2|-1-3| + 4=-4

0    -2|0-3| + 4=-2

3    4

6     -2

Both graphs are attached below

The graph of f(x)  and g(x) interests  at x= -1  and x=8.1
