Andrew is painting a wall on the side of his house. He has a 20 foot ladder wich makes a 79 degree angle with the ground. Standing on the second to past rung of the ladder, Andrew can reach 5 feet above the point where the ladder rests against the wall. How high up the wall can Andrew paint

Answers

Answer 1

Andrew can reach a maximum of [tex]24.6ft[/tex] high up the wall.

The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the [tex]sine[/tex] ratio. that is

[tex]sin(72^\circ})=\dfrac{h}{20}[/tex]

where [tex]h[/tex] is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for [tex]h[/tex], we get

[tex]0.9816=\dfrac{h}{20}\\\\h=20\times0.9816\\\\h=19.632ft[/tex]

Since Andrew can reach an extra [tex]5ft[/tex] above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is

[tex](19.632+5)ft=24.632ft\\\\\approx24.6ft[/tex]

Which will result in a difference of squares? (–7x + 4)(–7x + 4) (–7x + 4)(4 – 7x) (–7x + 4)(–7x – 4) (–7x + 4)(7x – 4)

Answers

Answer:

(-7x + 4)(-7x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply two binomials together and you want the result to be the difference of squares, the two binomials must have the same terms and ONE of the terms must have the opposite sign.

Ex: (a+b)(a-b)

OR (x+2)(x-2)

OR (m-3)(m+3)

OR (2x+1)(2x-1)

OR (-5n+7)(-5n-7)

These multiplications

(–7x + 4)(–7x + 4) and

(-7x + 4)(4 - 7x) yield a perfect square trinomial.. Both factors are identical, so they are not the answer.

(–7x + 4)(7x – 4) is also not the answer because one factor is the opposite of the other factor. That is, both terms in one factor are the opposite sign from the other. We need just ONE term to have the opposite sign.

2x3 + 8x2 + 10x + 4 all potential roots and actual roots

Answers

Answer:

potential: {±1/2, ±1, ±2, ±4}actual: [-2, -1, -1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rational Root Theorem tells you that potential rational roots are ...

  ±(divisor of constant term)/(divisor of leading coefficient)

Ignoring the fact that all of the coefficients can be reduced by a factor of 2, straightforward application of this theorem suggests possible rational roots might be ...

  ±{1, 2, 4}/{1, 2} = {±1/2, ±1, ±2, ±4} . . . potential roots

Examination of the graph of the function shows the actual roots are ...

  x = -2, -1 (multiplicity 2)

_____

Additional comment

Descartes' rule of signs eliminates positive real roots from the list. (There are no coefficient sign changes, hence no positive real roots.)

Division of the polynomial by 2 gives x³ +4x² +5x +2 = 0, which only suggests rational roots of -2 or -1. The answer to the question of potential roots depends on the extent to which you refine the list above.

Factor
x ^ 3 + 2x ^ 2 – 5x - 10 = 0

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have four terms and 3rd degree equation (the highest power is 3) you will want to try to "factor by grouping"

Group together two terms, watch out for the negative signs!

x^3 + 2x^2-5x-10=0

(x^3 + 2x^2) - (5x+10)=0

Find a common factor in each group and factor it out. You're hoping that what is left in the parenthesis is the same in both cases.

x^2(x+2)-5(x+2)=0

Now you can factor out that (x+2) because it is both terms.

x^2(x + 2) - 5(x + 2)=0

~~~~ ~~~~

Pull these out.

What will be left is the x^2 and the - 5 (dont lose that - in front of the 5)

(x + 2)(x^2 - 5) = 0

If all you have to do is factor, then you're done. It is factored. But if you have to "solve" also, then put x+2=0 and x^2-5=0 and solve.

A certain stock sold for $56.12 on Monday. On Tuesday it sold for $60.19. Find the increase in the price of the stock from Monday to Tuesday

Answers

Answer:

$ 4.07

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is asking for the Increase in the stock price from Monday to Tuesday, meaning they want to know the difference between the stock price on Monday and Tuesday.

So we subtract Monday's price from Tuesday's price.

$60.19- 56.12 = $4.07

Factorise the bracket on the left side:

The only value for x which can satisfy the inequality can only be 10, which is greater than 9.

a-y= b+y/a make y subject

Answers

Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{a^2-ab}{a+1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a - y = b + [tex]\frac{y}{a}[/tex] ( multiply through by a to clear the fraction )

a² - ay = ab + y ( subtract y from both sides )

a² - ay - y = ab ( subtract a² from both sides )

- ay - y = ab - a² ← factor out y from each term on the left side

y(- a - 1) = ab - a² ( divide both sides by - a - 1 )

y = [tex]\frac{ab-a^2}{-a-1}[/tex] ( multiply numerator/ denominator by - 1 )

y = [tex]\frac{a^2-ab}{a+1}[/tex]

Suppose two bicyclists start at the same location.
The first bicyclist rides due north and the other rides
due west. Find the distance in miles that the first
bicyclist rode if they are 3/2 miles apart after riding
for 1 hour at the same speed.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment.

If both cyclists travel for the same time and speed, they will have travelled the same distance.  Since one is headed north and the other east, we can see that the distance between them in one hour is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  Each leg has distance x.  We can say x^2 + x^2 = (3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex])^2

2x^2 =1 8

x^2 = 9

x = 3

They both rode 3 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, let's set up a proportional relating the home to the # of hours.

[tex]\frac{17}{49} = \frac{x}{196}[/tex]

2. Now, let's see if we can divide 196 by 49. If so, the quotient we get is the number we multiply 17 by to get x.

[tex]196/49 = 4[/tex] This means that we multiply 17 by 4 to get x.[tex]17 * 4 = 68[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is 68 homes.
