A ladder is leaning against a building so that the distance from the ground to the top of the latter is 1 foot less than the length of the latter find the length of the latter is the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is 7 feet

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]25\text{ feet}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder, ground, and building form a right triangle where the vertical distance between the top of the ladder and the bottom of the ground is one leg, the horizontal distance between the bottom of the ladder and the building is another leg, and the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse.

For any right triangle, the Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of both legs is equal to the hypotenuse squared ([tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]), where [tex]c[/tex] is the hypotenuse.

Let the length of the ladder be [tex]\ell[/tex] (hypotenuse of right triangle). The distance between the top of the ladder and the ground (vertical distance) can be represented as [tex]\ell -1[/tex].

From the Pythagorean Theorem, we then have:

[tex]7^2+(\ell-1)^2=\ell^2[/tex]

Expand using [tex](a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2[/tex]:

[tex]49+\ell^2-2\ell+1=\ell^2[/tex]

Subtract [tex]\ell[/tex] from both sides and add [tex]2\ell[/tex] to both sides:

[tex]49+1=2\ell[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]50=2\ell, \\2\ell =50[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\ell=\frac{50}{2}=\boxed{25\text{ feet}}[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the ladder is 25 feet.

Derive the explicit rule for the pattern: 3, 0, - 3, - 6, - 9, ...

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 3

d = -3

an = a1 + (n - 1)*d

an = a1 + (n - 1)*-3

Try it

Let n = 5

a5 = 3 + (5 - 1)*-3

a5 = 3 + 4*-3

a5 = 3 - 12

a5 = - 9 which is exactly what it should be.

The interesting one to try is n = 2

a2 = a1 + (2 - 1)*-3

a3 = 3  + 1(-3)

a3 = 3 - 3

a3 =0

Which is exactly what the second term is. It's interesting because you would never guess that 0 is what you get.

Which of the answer choices has matrix multiplication defined?

Answers

Answer:

AB

Step-by-step explanation:

For the multiplication of two matrices to be defined then the number of columns of the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows of the second matrix. For example, 2*3 and 3*2 matrices can be multiplied since the number of columns of the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows of the second matrix.

Matrix A = 2*2

Matrix B = 2*3

Matrix C = 3*3

Matrix D = 1 * 3

From the matrices given, we can see that the matrices that can be multiplied together are AB and BC since the number of columns of the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows of the second matrix. Hence the correct option is AB

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The first derivative tells you the slope of the graph at a specific point. If f'(c) =0, then that means that at f(c), the slope of the graph is 0. It is neither going up nor down

The second derivative tells you the slope of the slope of the graph. If f''(c) < 0, this means that the slope is decreasing. This means that going from the left to f(c), the slope is greater than the slope at f(c), and going from f(c) to the right, the slope is less than the slope at f(c).

Therefore, since the slope at f(c) is 0, the slope is positive to the left of f(c) and negative to the right of f(c). This means that the graph is going up until it hits f(c) and then goes down. Because f(c) is greater than the values to the left of it (because it is going up until it hits f(c)) and the values to the right of it (because it is going down past f(c)), f(c) is a local maximum

Three construction companies have bid for a job. Max knows that the two companies with which he is competing have probabilities 1/3 and 1/9, respectively, of getting the job. What is the probability that Max will get the job?

Answers

Answer:

0.5555 = 55.55% probability that Max will get the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the probability that Max will get the job?

The sum of all probabilities is 100% = 1, so, considering Max's probability as x:

[tex]x + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9} = 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9x + 3 + 1}{9} = 1[/tex]

[tex]9x + 4 = 9[/tex]

[tex]9x = 5[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{5}{9}[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.5555[/tex]

0.5555 = 55.55% probability that Max will get the job.

The max has probability of getting this job is x= 0.5555 and 55.55%

Suppose that ;

Max has probability of getting this job is = x

and other two companies have probability to get job is [tex]\frac{1}{3} or \frac{1}{9}[/tex].

Sum of the probability have bid a job is 100% which is equal to 1.

The sum of the probabilities in a probability distribution is always 1. A probability distribution is a collection of probabilities that defines the likelihood of observing all of the various outcomes of an event or experiment. Based on this definition, a probability distribution has two important properties that are always true:

According to given question ;

Sum of all the companies having probability to get the job = 1

[tex]x + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9} = 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9.x+1.3+1.1}{9} = 1\\9x+3+1 = 9.1\\9x+4 =9\\9x = 9-4\\9x = 5\\x = \frac{5}{9}[/tex]

x = 0.5555

The Max has probability of getting this job is x= 0.5555 or 55.55%

  y = 11/3x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the tangent of the angle it makes with the x-axis. The slope of the given line is 3/2, so the angle it makes with the x-axis is arctan(3/2) ≈ 56.310°. We want a line that makes an angle of arctan(1/3) ≈ 18.435° with the given line, so its slope will be ...

  tan(56.310° +18.435°) = tan(74.745°) = 11/3

The y-intercept of the desired line is given as (0, -3), so the equation of the line we want is ...

  y = 11/3x -3

Additional comment

The desired slope can be found using the formula for the tangent of the sum of angles. However, simply adding the angles on a calculator saves a lot of arithmetic. (Full precision values must be used.)

The line we have found is at the desired angle measured CCW from the point of intersection with the given line. If you allow the line to have that angle measured CW from the point of intersection, then the slope will be 7/9, and the equation will be ...

A line passes through the point (-1, -9) and has a slope of -7.
What would be the equation for this line?

Answers

Answer:

y = -7x - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the equation of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Since we already know the slope, all that is left is the value of b, which can be found by substituting the values of the point (-1, -9) into the equation and solving:
