The Bottom Of A Ladder Leaning Against A Wall Is 1.5 M From The Bottom Of The Wall. The Ladder Is 5.5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: D.  5.3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder leaning against the wall causes it to forma  right angle.  

The right angle has two sides , which is  the two legs, and the hypotenuse.

Using the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 , a  and b are the two legs and c is the hypotenuse. In this case, a will be the wall, b will be 1.5 m  and the ladder which is 5.5 m will be the hypotenuse.  

Input the values for a and c to sole for b using the formula.

1.5^2 + b^2 = 5.5^2

2.25 + b^2 = 30.25

-2.25                 -2.25

   b^2 = 28

   b = [tex]\sqrt{28}[/tex]

  b = 5.2915   rounded to one decimal place is the same as rounding it to the nearest tenth, and 5.29 rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.3.

Answer 2

Height of top of ladder above the ground  that is resting on the wall, correct to one decimal place is 5.3 m

hence option D is correct.

According to Pythagoras theorem

In a right triangle

[tex]\rm H^2 = P^2 + B^2[/tex]

[tex]\rm P = \sqrt {H^2 - B^2 }.........(1)\\where \\H = Hypotenuse \; of \; right\; triangle\\B = Base\; of \; the \; right\; triangle \\P = Perpendicular \; of \; the\; right\; triangle[/tex]

In the given situation the the ladder forms the right triangle with the wall

Length of the ladder = 5.5 m

Length of the base of ladder from the wall = 1.5 m

Let K be the height of top of ladder above the ground  that is resting on the wall.

Hence  from equation (1) we can write

[tex]\rm K = \sqrt{5.5^2 - 1.5^2} = \sqrt{28} = 5.291 \approx \bold{5.3}[/tex]  m

Height of top of ladder above the ground  that is resting on the wall, correct to one decimal place is 5.3 m

hence option D is correct.

(Please help!!) Arnold is paid a graduated commission on sales. He earns 7% on sales up to $10,000 and 10% on sales over that amount. His goal is to make $2,500 next month. How much will he need to sell?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10000*7%= $700.00

2500-700=1800

1800 is 10% of 18,000

An online auction charges sellers a flat fee of $1.20 and 2% of the amount of the sale. Let A be the amount of the sale in dollars and C be the charge of the online auction. Explain whether the solutions A=−5 and C=1.1 are viable. (1 point)

A. The solutions are viable because the amount charged is positive.

B .The solutions are not viable because the amount of the sale cannot be negative.

C. The solutions are viable because the amount of the sale is an integer.

D. The solutions are not viable because the amount charged is not a whole number.

Answers

Answer:

B .The solutions are not viable because the amount of the sale cannot be negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, the calculations would make sense since the online auction charges a flat fee of $1.20 plus 2% of the amount of the sale. Since the sale is said to be -5 the 2% would be -0.1 therefore, making the total charge $1.1 which is what is given in the question. Unfortunately, -5 is not a viable value for the sale because if a sale is made it means that money was paid to the seller and that would only be a positive integer not a negative one. Thus, making this solution not viable.

This table gives a few (x, y) pairs of a line in the coordinate plane.
x...........y
48 -30
61 -45
74 -60

What is the x-intercept of the line?

Answers

Answer:

The x-intercept is : (22, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table values, we determine that it is a straight line as there is a constant change in x and y values.

i.e.

Any previous value of y can be obtained by subtracting 15 from the successor y value.

i.e.

60 - 15 = 45

45 - 15 = 30

so if continue, we can also determine some of the other values of y such as

30 - 15 = 15

15 - 15 = 0

Also, there is a constant change in x values. so, any previous value of x is obtained by subtracting 13 from the successor x value.

i.e.

74-13 = 61

61-13 = 48

48-13=35

35-13=22

So, from the above analysis, we determine that when the value of y = 0, the value of x = 22.

We also know that the x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. At this point y = 0.

so, at y = 0, the value of x = 22.

Therefore, the x-intercept is : (22, 0)

where P is the population at a particular year after 2010

y is the number of years after 2010

A player located 18.6 ft from the basket launches a successful jump shot from a height of 10 ft (level with the rim of the basket), at an angle θ = 36º and an initial velocity of v = 25 ft/s. Find the change of distance Δs of the toss if the angle changes by an amount Δθ. Hint: Use the following fact derived from Newton's Laws: An object released at an angle θ with initial velocity v ft/s travels a total distance [tex]s=\frac{1}{32} v^{2} sin(2\theta)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You suck free points

The change of the distance travelled by the ball when the angle of launch

changes can be found by linear approximation.

The change in the distance, Δs, when the angle changes by Δθ in radians is  approximately 0.211·Δθ.

Reasons:

The distance of the player from the basket = 18.6 ft.

Height from which the jump shot is launched = 10 ft.

Angle of the jump shot = 36°

The initial velocity = 25 ft./s

According to Newton's Law of motion, the distance an object travels when

released at an angle θ, with an initial velocity, v, is given by the following

horizontal range formula equation;

[tex]s = \dfrac{1}{32} \cdot v^2 \cdot sin(2 \cdot \theta)[/tex]

   

[tex]\dfrac{ds}{d\theta} =\dfrac{d}{d\theta } \left( \dfrac{1}{32} \cdot v^2 \cdot sin(2 \cdot \theta) \right)= \dfrac{v^2 \cdot cos(2 \cdot \theta)}{16}[/tex]

By linear approximation, we have;

[tex]\Delta s = \dfrac{ds}{d\theta} \times \Delta \theta[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\Delta s =\dfrac{25^2 \cdot cos(2 \times 36^{\circ})}{16}\times \Delta \theta \approx 12.07 \times \Delta \theta[/tex]

360° = 2·π radians

[tex]12.07 ^{\circ} = \dfrac{2 \cdot \pi}{360} \times 12.07 \approx 0.211 \ radians[/tex]

Δs ≈ 0.211·Δθ

Therefore;

The change in the distance, Δs, when the angle changes by Δθ is 0.211·Δθ.

The value of the expression  [tex](\frac{3^{2}a^{-2} }{3a^{-1} } )^{k}[/tex] when a = 5 and k = -2 is [tex]\frac{25}{9}[/tex]

How to substitute and get the value of an expression?

The expression is as follows:

[tex](\frac{3^{2}a^{-2} }{3a^{-1} } )^{k}[/tex]

using law of indices

Hence,

when a = 5, k = -2

[tex](\frac{3^{2}a^{-2} }{3a^{-1} } )^{k} = (\frac{9(5^{-2} )}{3(5^{-1} )})^{-2}[/tex]

Then,

[tex](\frac{9(5^{-2} )}{3(5^{-1} )})^{-2}=(\frac{\frac{9}{25} }{\frac{3}{5} } )^{-2}[/tex]

[tex](\frac{\frac{9}{25} }{\frac{3}{5} } )^{-2}=(\frac{9}{25} (\frac{5}{3}))^{-2}[/tex]

[tex](\frac{9}{25} (\frac{5}{3}))^{-2}=(\frac{3}{5})^{-2}[/tex]

[tex](\frac{3}{5})^{-2}=\frac{25}{9}[/tex]

Answer:

fourth root of 12*13^3          

-------------------------------- - 2

                13

Step-by-step explanation:

First focus on the 132/143 expression inside the 4th root function.

132/143 = 12/13

and so we have:

fourth root of 12/13 - 2

We must rationalize the denominator of the expression shown above.  In other words, 12/13 must be rewritten so that the denominator is the fourth power of 13.  To do this, multiply that 12 by 13^3 and that 13 by 13^3:

                        12*13^3                          

fourth root of { --------------  }

                           13^3*13

This simplifies to:

                                         

fourth root of 12*13^3          

--------------------------------

                13

To obtain the final answer, subtract 2 as shown in the original problem:

Since f(x) => 0, hence x = 0

To get the horizontal asymptote, we will look at the degree of the numerator and denominator. If the degree of numerator is less than the denominator, the horizontal asymptote will be zero. From the function, we can see that the degree of the numerator is zero (being a constant) and that of the denominator is 1.
