Use the Pythagorean Theorem and the square root property to solve. Express answers in simplified radical form. Then find a decimal approximation to the nearest tenth. a. A wheelchair ramp with a length of 122 inches has a horizontal distance of 120 inches. What is the ramp's vertical distance? b. Construction laws are very specific when it comes to access ramps for the disabled. Every vertical rise of 1 inch requires a horizontal run of 12 inches. Does this ramp satisfy the requirements?
Describe the relationship between the real solutions of \(a x^{2}+b x+c=0\) and the graph of \(y=a x^{2}+b x+c\)
In Exercises 122–133, use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. A local bank charges 8 dollar per month plus 5 g per check. The credit union charges 2 dollar per month plus 8 g per check. How many checks should be written each month to make the credit union a better deal?
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Factor completely: \(x^{3}+x^{2}-4 x-4\).
In Exercises 59–94, solve each absolute value inequality. $$ 4+\left|3-\frac{x}{3}\right| \geq 9 $$
