Rashaad leans a 16-foot ladder against a wall so that it forms an angle of 66° with the
ground. What's the horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1

Trigonometry: Rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot, the answer is 15.2 feet.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles. It is used to calculate unknown side lengths and angles of triangles when given other values, and to solve various problems in different fields such as engineering, navigation, astronomy, and physics.

The horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall can be calculated using trigonometry.
The formula for finding the opposite side of a triangle (in this case, the horizontal distance) when given the angle and the adjacent side is: opposite side = adjacent side x tan (angle)
Therefore, the horizontal distance is 16 feet x tan(66°) = 15.2 feet.
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot, the answer is 15.2 feet.

Answers

Answer:

57 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is = Length x Width

Given:

f(x)= 4x + 3    Length

g(x)=2x-5      Width

x = 4

============

Width

g(x)=2x-5

g(4)=2(4)-5

g(4)= 3

Length

f(x)= 4x + 3

f(4) = (4)(4) + 3

f(4) = 19

Area = (length)*(width)

Area = f(x)*g(x) for x = 4

Area = (f(4))*(g(4))

Area = (19)*(3)

Area = 57 square units

Correct answer is option D.

What is Increasing Function?

A function f(x) is said to be increasing on an interval I if for any two numbers x and y in I such that x < y, we have f(x) ≤ f(y).

For this case, the first thing you should observe is that you have a different function in two distinct intervals.

We have then:

For [-10, 2]:

The linear function has a positive slope, therefore it grows and cuts the y-axis at the point (0, 5)

For [2, 10]:

We have a constant function whose equation is:

y = 5

Thus, the correct Answer is:

D. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, 5), increasing from x = -10 to x = 2 and remaining constant from x = 2 to x = 10.

p = 5 + 2r

6 ( 5 + 2r ) - 4r = 4

It takes 1.5 seconds for a grandfather clock's pendulum to swing from left (initial position) to right, covering a horizontal distance of 10 inches. which function models the horizontal displacement as a function of time in seconds?

Answers

The function that models the horizontal displacement as a function of time in seconds is y = 5cos(2π/3 x)

How to model the function?

The given parameters are:

Time, t = 1.5 secondsHorizontal distance, h = 10 inches

Start by calculating the amplitude, A using:

A = h/2

This gives

A = 10/2

A = 5

Next, we calculate the period using:

B = π/t

This gives

B = π/1.5

Evaluate

B = 2π/3

The pendulum is at the middle.

So, it has no vertical displacement

The function is then represented as:

y = Acos(Bx)

This gives

y = 5cos(2π/3 x)

Hence, the function that models the horizontal displacement as a function of time in seconds is y = 5cos(2π/3 x)

The rational root theorem says that if a root is a rational number, then the leading coefficient must be divisible by the denominator of the rational number and the constant term must be divisible by the numerator.

In this case, the constant is 9, and the only option such that the constant is divisible by the numerator is option b: 3

Flip the inequality and make the 13 negative for the other side.

Using distributive property, subtract 8 from both sides:

3x + 8 - 8 = 6x + 16 - 8

3x = 6x + 8

Simplify

3x-6x = 8

-3x = 8
