A 15 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. The foot of the ladder is 7 feet from the wall. How high up the wall is the ladder? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

13.26

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the height should be computed by using the Pythagoras theorem

As we know that

Hypothenuse^2 = base^2 + height^2

where,

Hypothenuse is 15 foot

And, the foot of the ladder i.e base is 7

So now placing these values

The height is

15^2 = 7^2 + height^2

225= 49 + height^2

After solving this, the height is 13.26

Answer:

16.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Following SOHCAHTOA, we see that Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse is appropriate for this question. Since the sine of 33 is approximately 0.54, we see that the Opposite(9) / Hypotenuse(x) should be 0.54.

9 / x = 0.54

9 = 0.54x

9/0.54 = x

16.7 = x

16.7 is the correct time

Odd degree likely 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial graph has several features we look for to determine the equations.

  • The zeros of the function are the x-intercepts. If the x-intercepts touch but do not cross then the intercepts have an even multiplicity like 2, 4, 6, etc. If the x-intercepts cross over then they have an odd multiplicity.
  • Degree is the exponent or multiplicity of each zero. Therefore if we know the multiplicity of each zero we can add them together to find or make an educated guess for the degree of the entire polynomial.
  • The shape of the graph tells us what type of polynomial. Odd degrees have a backwards S shape. Even degrees have a W shape. The shape can even tell us the if the equation has a positive or negative leading coefficient. Upside down W or an M shape is negative. While a sideways S shape is negative.
