Item 11
A 10-foot ladder leans against a wall so that it is 6 feet high at the top. The ladder is moved so that the base of the ladder travels toward the wall twice the distance that the top of the ladder moves up. How much higher is the top of the ladder now? (Hint: Let 8−2x be the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4 ft higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ladder is 10 ft long and its top is 6 feet high(above the ground), we find the distance of its base from the wall since these three (the ladder, wall and ground) form a right angled triangle. Let d be the distance from the wall to the ladder.

So, by Pythagoras' theorem,

10² = 6² + d²  (the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse side)

d² = 10² - 6²

d² = 100 - 36

d² = 64

d = √64

d = 8 ft

Since the ladder is moved so that the base of the ladder travels toward the wall twice the distance that the top of the ladder moves up.

Now, let x be the distance the top of the ladder is moved, the new height of top of the ladder is 6 + x. Since the base moves twice the distance the top of the ladder moves up, the new distance for our base is 8 - 2x(It reduces since it gets closer to the wall).

Now, applying Pythagoras' theorem to the ladder with these new lengths, we have

10² = (6 + x)² + (8 - 2x)²

Expanding the brackets, we have

100 = 36 + 12x + x² + 64 - 32x + 4x²

collecting like terms, we have

100 = 4x² + x² + 12x - 32x + 64 + 36

100 = 5x² - 20x + 100

Subtracting 100 from both sides, we have

100 - 100 = 5x² - 20x + 100 - 100

5x² - 20x = 0

Factorizing, we have

5x(x - 4) = 0

5x = 0 or x - 4 = 0

x = 0 or x = 4

The top of the ladder is thus 4 ft higher

Answers

The Answer Is Sin(B)=4/5

[tex] \sin( \beta ) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} [/tex]

Meaning, sin(B)=4/5

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle you want to look at is the one given to you with the beta symbol. The trigonometric funtion sin mean opposite/hypotenuse. The side that is opposite is stright across from ∠β which would be 4. The hypothenuse is the largest side of the triangle or the "slanted side of the triangle." With that explanation, the hypotenuse is 5.

If 35 liters of petrol cost $21.00, what is the price per liter?

Answers

Answer:

1.66$ per liter

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there! I hope you're having a good day so far. :)

So this equation is quite simple. To write it out, you get:

35/21.00=?

All you need to do is get a calculator and put that in.

Then you will get 1.66666667, but to 'simplify' it, you just get 1.66 dollars per liter.

Therefore, the answer is 1.66$ per liter.

f(5) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

us the f value and substitute for x.

1) f(1)= 1 - 5 = -4

2) f(-1) = -1 -5 = -6

3) f(2) = 2 - 5 = -3

4) f(0) = 0 - 5 = -5

5) f(5) = 5 - 5 = 0

You purchased a new car. The car had a list price of $41,070. You are paying 5.09% interest compounded monthly over a payment period of FIVE years. If you also had to pay 5.86% sales tax, a $384 vehicle registration fee, and an $89 documentation fee, what is your monthly payment?

Answers

Answer:

The monthly payment is approximately $2,356.89

Step-by-step explanation:

The list price of the car, P = $41,070

The interest rate payed, r = 5.09% compounded monthly

Therefore, the number of interest calculated per period, n = 1

The payment period, t = 5 years

The amount payed as sales tax = 5.86%

The amount paid as registration fee = $384

The amount paid as documentation fee = $89

The total amount to be paid, A = 41,070 + 41,070 × 0.0586 + 384 + 89 = 43,949.702

Therefore, the monthly payment, 'M', is given by the following formula;

[tex]M = \dfrac{P \cdot \left(\dfrac{r}{n} \right) \cdot \left(1+\dfrac{r}{n} \right)^{n \cdot t} }{\left(1+\dfrac{r}{n } \right)^{n \cdot t} - 1}[/tex]

Therefore, we get;

[tex]M = \dfrac{43,949.702\times \left(\dfrac{0.0509}{1} \right) \cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.0509}{1} \right)^{1 \times 60} }{\left(1+\dfrac{0.0509}{1 } \right)^{1 \times 60} - 1} \approx 2,356.89[/tex]

The monthly payment, M ≈ $2,356.89.

A frequency table is a list of objects with the frequency of each item shown in the table.

The frequency of an occurrence or a value is the number of times it happens.

As per the given frequency plot.

The most common mass is at 1.8 kg and in between 1.4 and 1.8.

So, (1.4 + 1.8)/2 = 1.6 kg (not available in options)

Thus, 1.8 kg will be the typical mass.

Hence "The typical mass or most common mass among all given options is 1.8 kg".
