Christopher is hanging Christmas lights along the perimeter of his house by using his 15 foot ladder. The base of the ladder is placed 4 feet away from the base of his house. How far up the house does his ladder reach?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

14.45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up is a right angled triangle;

The length of the ladder = hypotenuse = 15foot

The base of the ladder is the adjacent = 4feet

The height of th house is the opposite = x

Using the pythagoras theorem;

hyp² = opp² + adj²

15² = opp²+4²

opp² = 15²- 4²

opp² = 225 - 16

opp² = 209

opp = 14.45feet

Hence the ladder reaches 14.45 feet up the house

Darryl Dixon shoots an arrow at a zombie. The path of the arrow can be modeled with the equation y=-x^2 42x-80, where x is time in seconds and y is the height in feet. How long does it take for the arrow to reach its maximum?

Answers

We need to find time taken to reach arrow to its maximum.

The path of the arrow can be modeled with the equation [tex]y=-x^2+ 42x-80[/tex] .

Differentiating the given equation w.r.t x and equate it to zero.

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-2x + 42 \\\\42 - 2x = 0\\\\x = 21\ seconds[/tex]

Putting value of x = 21 sec in given equation, we get :

[tex]y=-x^2+ 42x-80\\\\y = -(21)^2 + (42\times 21) - 80\\\\y = 361 \ feet[/tex]

Therefore, time taken to reach maximum height is 21 seconds.

How many weeks did it take Mary to pay her debt?
A. 40
B. 35
C. 32
D. 21

Answers

Answer:

d.21

Step-by-step explanation:

840/40=21

Answer:

21 Weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

$840 ÷ 4 weeks = 21

You can also reverse work this by multiplying $40 by the other choices!

$40 x 40 = $1600

$40 x 35 = $1400

$40 x 32 = $1280

$40 x 21 = $840

As we can see, D is the only answer that makes sense, therefore 21 weeks is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use substitution method

9(-10)+9y=-9

Order of operations(PEMDAS)

-90+9y=-9

Add 90 to both sides

(-90+90)+9y= -9+90

9y=81

Divide 9 from both sides

(9/9)y=81/9

y=9

Hope this helps. Have a nice day. May it be filled with joy and happiness. Please, stay safe and wash your hands. Happy Holidays.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

in this case, we already know that x=   -10 so we can substitute in the other problem, -10x9 = -90 so now we can get rid of that by adding + 90 on each side making it 9y=81 by this time, we see that both sides are divisable by 9 divide both by nine and you get: 1y=9 from that you can finally answer the question with

x= -10 y= 9
