Another of Bhaskara's problems results in a quadratic equation Parthava was enraged and seized a certain number of arrows to slay Karna. He expended one-half of them in defending himself. Four times the square root of the number of arrows were discharged against the horses. With six more, he transfixed Shalya, the charioteer. With three more, he rent the parasol, the standard, and the bow; and with the last one he pierced the head of Karna. How many arrows did Parthava have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Parthava had 100 arrows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define N as the number of arrows that Parthava originally has.

He uses one-half of them in defending himself, so he used N/2 arrows

Now he uses four times the square root of the number of arrows, so now he uses:

4*√N

Then he uses 6

Then he uses 3

Then he uses the last one.

If we add all these numbers of arrows that he used, we should get the initial number of arrows that he used, then:

N/2 + 4*√N  + 6 + 3 + 1  = N

Now we have an equation that we can try to solve.

First, let's move all the terms to the same side:

N/2 + 4*√N + 6 + 3 + 1 - N  = 0

now we can simpify it:

(N/2 - N) + 4*√N + (6 + 3 + 1) = 0

-(1/2)*N + 4*√N + 10 = 0

Now we can define a new variable x = √N

Then we have: x^2 = N

now we can replace these new variables in our equation to get:

-(1/2)*x^2 + 4*x + 10 = 0

Now we just have a quadratic equation.

Remember that for a quadratic equation of the form:

0 = a*x^2 + b*x + c

The solutions were given by:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2a}[/tex]

Then in our case, the solutions will be:

[tex]x = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{4^2 - 4*(-1/2)*10} }{2*(-1/2)} = \frac{-4 \pm 6 }{-1} = 4 \pm 6[/tex]

So there are two solutions:

x = 4 + 6 = 10

x = 4 - 6 = -2

And remember that x = √N

Then x should be positive, then we take x = 10 as our solution here.

then we can use the equation:

x = 10 = √N

then

10^2 = √N^2 = N

10^2 = 100 = N

Parthava had 100 arrows.

~can you plz explain?!

Answers

Answer:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is a number that you don't get a whole number when divided by 2 but you do get a whole number when divided by prime numbers such as 3,5,7,11... Basically a number with two factors, it can only be divided by 1 or themselves. for example:

9/2 = 4.5 (this is not a whole number so it might be a prime.

9/3 = 3 (it works when divided by a prime number.

another:

8/2 = 4 (it gives a whole number when divided by 2 therefor, it can't be a prime number.

Answering:

There are 6 prime numbers at the top^^^^.

One possible answer is  2, 3, 5, 41, 67, 89

Another possible answer is  2, 3, 5, 47, 61, 89

Other answers may be possible.

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

Explanation:

This is a trial and error type of problem. Though with practice it's not as blind of randomly guessing.

We have 9 values here. If we paired them up, then we can form at most 4 pairs (since 9/2 = 4.5 rounds down to 4). That means we won't be able to form six two-digit primes. Some of the primes must be single digits.

We can have 3 single digit primes and 3 two-digit primes since 3+2*3 = 9.

The single digit primes are: 2, 3, 5, 7

Let's say 2 and 5 are definitely locked down to be the single digit group. I'm doing this since we can't have 2 or 5 as the units digit. If the units digit is 2, then 2 is a factor and it's not prime. Similarly, if 5 is the units digit, then 5 is a factor and that two digit value is not prime.

For good measure, we'll throw 3 in there as well and see what happens.

------------------

The digits we have left are: 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9

The number 14 isn't prime, but 41 is prime

67 is prime so that's another two values off the list

lastly, 89 is prime so that works as well.

So one possible sequence is 2, 3, 5, 41, 67, 89

Notice how we can swap the 1 and 7 to go from 41,67 to 47,61; this gets us two other primes. So another possible answer is 2, 3, 5, 47, 61, 89

------------------

Side note: having the list of primes on a reference sheet is a handy recommendation. You only need to go up as high as 97 which is the largest two digit prime.

7. If the supplement of an angle is 69, then find its complement.​

Answers

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180

Let x be the supplement

x+69 = 180

x = 180-69

x =111

The complement of an angle means they add to 90

111+y = 90

y = 90-111

y =-21

But an angle cannot be negative so there is no solution

Answer:

21 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the complementary angle you have to subtract the given angle from 90.

so,

90 - 69 = 21.

Extra info: if you need to find the supplementary angle you need to subtract the given angle from 180.

Solve the system of equations using substitution.
y = x + 6
y = –2x – 3

Answers

Answer:

x = -3

y= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y =  x + 6 -----------------------(I)

y = -2x - 3 ---------------------(II)

Substitute y =x +6 in equation (II)

x + 6  = -2x - 3

Add 2x to both sides

x + 2x +6 = -3

Combine like terms

3x + 6 = - 3

Subtract 6 from both sides

3x = - 3 - 6

3x = -9

Divide both sides by 3

x = -9/3

x = -3

Plug in s = -3 in equation (I)

y = -3 + 6

y = 3

centre angle [C]=70°

(a) Find the perpendicular distance be tween the chord and the centre of the circle.

Answer:

we have

the perpendicular distance be tween the chord and the centre of the circle=[P]let

we have

P=d Sin (C/2)

=40*sin (70/2)

=22.9cm

the perpendicular distance be tween the chord and the centre of the circle is 22.9cm.

(b) Using = 3.142, find the length of the minor arc.

Solution given;

minor arc=[tex]\frac{70}{360}*πd=\frac{7}{36}*3.142*40[/tex]

=24.44cm

the length of the minor arc. is 24.44cm.

B.]In the diagram, XZ is a diameter of the cir cle XYZW, with centre O and radius 15/2 cm.

If XY = 12 cm, find the area of triangle XYZ.

Solution given:

XY=12cm

XO=15/2cm

XZ=2*15/2=15cm

Now

In right angled triangle XOY [inscribed angle on a diameter is 90°]

By using Pythagoras law

h²=p²+b²

XZ²=XY²+YZ²

15²=12²+YZ²

YZ²=15²-12²

YZ=[tex]\sqrt{81}=9cm[/tex]

:.

base=9cm

perpendicular=12cm

Now

Area of triangle XYZ=½*perpendicular*base

=½*12*9=54cm²

the area of triangle XYZ is 54cm².

Answer:

Question 1

a)

d = 40 cm ⇒ r = 20 cm

Let the perpendicular distance is x.

Connecting the center with  the chord we obtain a right triangle with hypotenuse of r and leg x with adjacent angle of 70/2 = 35°.

From the given we get:

x/20 = cos 35°x = 20 cos 35°x = 16.383 cm (rounded)

b)

The minor arc is 70° and r = 20

The length of the arc is:

s = 2πr*70/360° = 2*3.142*20*7/36 = 24.437 cm (rounded)Question 2

Since XZ is diameter, the opposite angle is the right angle, so the triangle XYZ is a right triangle.

r = 15/2 cm ⇒ XZ = d = 2r = 2*15/2 = 15 cm

Find the missing side, using Pythagorean:

[tex]YZ = \sqrt{XZ^2 - XY^2} = \sqrt{15^2-12^2} = \sqrt{81} = 9[/tex]

The area of the triangle:

A = 1/2*XY*YZ = 1/2*12*9 = 54 cm²

in a shipment of 10,000 headlights, 5% are defective. what is the ratio of defective headlights to non-defective headlights

Answers

Answer:

19:1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10000 headlights. If 5% are defective, then 500 are defective. Since we took that 500 out, we get 9500 good headlights. The ratio is 9500:500 or 19:1

The ratio of defective headlights to non-defective headlights will be 19:1.

What is the percentage?

The Percentage is defined as representing any number with respect to 100. It is denoted by the sign %. The percentage stands for "out of 100." Imagine any measurement or object being divided into 100 equal bits.

In mathematics, ratios are used to determine the relationship between two numbers it indicates how many times is one number to another number.

There are 10000 headlights. If 5% are defective, then 500 are defective. Since we took that 500 out, we get 9500 good headlights.

The ratio will be calculated as below:-

Ratio = 9500:500

Ratio = 19:1

Therefore, the ratio of defective headlights to non-defective headlights will be 19:1.
