Find x so that the points (x,x+1), (x+2,x+3) and (x+3,2x+4) form a right-angled triangle.

Answers

Answer 1

Let a, b, and c be vectors each starting at the origin and terminating at the points (x, x + 1), (x + 2, x + 3), and (x + 3, 2x + 4), respectively.

Then the vectors a - b, a - c, and b - c are vectors that point in directions parallel to each of the legs formed by the triangle with these points as its vertices.

If this triangle is to contain a right angle, then exactly one of these pairs of vectors must be orthogonal. In other words, one of the following must be true:

(a - b) • (a - c) = 0

or

(a - b) • (b - c) = 0

or

(a - c) • (b - c) = 0

We have

a - b = (x, x + 1) - (x + 2, x + 3) = (-2, -2)

a - c = (x, x + 1) - (x + 3, 2x + 4) = (-3, -x - 3)

b - c = (x + 2, x + 3) - (x + 3, 2x + 4) = (-1, -x - 1)

Case 1: If (a - b) • (a - c) = 0, then

(-2, -2) • (-3, -x - 3) = (-2)×(-3) + (-2)×(-x - 3) = 2x + 12 = 0   ==>   x = -6

which would make a - c = (-3, 3) and b - c = (-1, 5), and their dot product is not zero. Then the triangles vertices are at the points (-6, -5), (-4, -3), and (-3, -8).

Case 2: If (a - b) • (b - c) = 0, then

(-2, -2) • (-1, -x - 1) = (-2)×(-1) + (-2)×(-x - 1) = 2x + 4 = 0   ==>   x = -2

which would make a - c = (-3, -1) and b = (-1, 1), and their dot product is also not zero. The vertices are the points (-2, -1), (0, 1), and (1, 0).

Case 3: If (a - c) • (b - c) = 0, then

(-3, -x - 3) • (-1, -x - 1) = (-3)×(-1) + (-x - 3)×(-x - 1) = x ² + 4x + 6 = 0

but the solutions to x here are non-real, so we throw out this case.

So there are two possible values of x that make a right triangle, x = -6 and x = -2.

Find the measure of the missing angles.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

e = 61°, f = 119°, and d = 90°

We know that vertically opposite angles are equal.

So, e = 61° [Vertically opposite angles]

We know that linear pair of angles are supplementary (180°).

So, f + 61° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

=> f = 180° - 61°

=> f = 119°

and d + 90° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

=> d = 180° - 90°

=> d = 90°

The lengths of two sides of the right triangle ABC shown in the illustration given

a= 7cm and b= 24cm

Answers

Answer:

25 cm.

Step-by-step explaination:

Given,

Two sides of a triangle:

a = 7cm

b = 24 cm

To find,

Third side:

c = ?

By Pythagorean Theorem;

a² + b² = c²

[where c is the longest side,hypotenuse]

Putting the value of a and b;

we get,

7² + 24² = c²

49 + 576 = c²

625 = c²

25² = c² (square root)

25 = c

c = 25

Therefore, the length of the third side will be equal to 25 cm.

Question:-

The lengths of two sides of the right triangle ABC shown in the illustration given

a= 7cm and b= 24cm

Given,

> a= 7cm

> b= 24cm

To find?

Side c (third side)

Solution:-

Using Pythagoras theorem,

▶️ a² + b² = c

▶️ 7cm ² + 24cm² = c²

▶️ 49cm + 576cm = c²

▶️ 625cm = c²

▶️ 25² = c² (25×25 = 625)

▶️ c = 25

The value of c is 25 cm.

Decompose -6x/(x+2)(x+8) into partial fractions.

Answers

The partial fraction expansion takes the form

-6x/((x + 2) (x + 8)) = a/(x + 2) + b/(x + 8)

Both factors in the denominator are linear, so the numerators in the corresponding partial fractions have degree 1 - 1 = 0 and are thus constants.

Combine the fractions on the right side into one with a common denominator, then set the numerators on both sides of the equation equal to each other:

-6x = a (x + 8) + b (x + 2)

Expand the right side and collect terms by powers of x :

-6x = (a + b) x + (8a + 2b)

It follows that

a + b = -6   and   8a + 2b = 0

==>   a = -2   and   b = 8

So we end up with

-6x/((x + 2) (x + 8)) = -2/(x + 2) + 8/(x + 8)

Ahmed bought a TV for his room in 2016 for AED 1,500. he decided to sell it in 2020 for AED 900. what is the rate of depreciation when he bought the TV and when he sold it

Answers

Answer:

40% depreciation over the 4 years

10% depreciation per year

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of years between buying and selling is:

2020 - 2016 = 4

4 years

The amount of depreciation in the 4 years is:

AED 1,500 - AED 900 = AED 600

The percent depreciation for the 4 years is:

(1500 - 900)/1500 * 100% = 40%

The percent depreciation per year is:

40%/4 = 10%

A bag contains 3 red, 5 blue, and 4 white marbles. If a marble is drawn from the bag, not replaced, and another is drawn, what is the probability of selecting a white and then blue marble?

Answers

Answer:

5/33

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selecting a white marble is 4/12 = 1/3(because we have 4 white marbles and 12 marbles in total )

The probability of selecting a blue marble is 5/11 (because we have 5 blue marbles and 11 marbles left(1 has been drawn already) )

Probability of selecting a white and then blue marble equals 1/3*5/11 = 5/33

Answers:  x = 30 and y = 150

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

Explanation:

For any cyclic quadrilateral (aka inscribed quadrilateral), the opposite angles are always supplementary.

One pair of such angles is A and C

A+C = 180

x+y = 180 is one equation to form

The other pair of supplementary angles is B and D

B+D = 180

y-45+2x+15 = 180

2x+y-30 = 180

2x+y = 180+30

2x+y = 210 is the other equation to form

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

So the system of equations we have is

[tex]\begin{cases}x+y = 180\\2x+y = 210\end{cases}[/tex]

Both equations involve 'y', with the same coefficient, so we can subtract straight down to eliminate this variable.

The x terms subtract to x-2x = -xThe y terms subtract to y-y = 0y = 0, so the y terms go awayThe right hand sides subtract to 180-210 = -30

We end up with -x = -30 which solves to x = 30

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

Once we know x, we can determine y by plugging it into any equation involving x,y and solving for y

Let's say we picked on the first equation

x+y = 180

30+y = 180

y = 180-30

y = 150

Or we could pick on the second equation

2x+y = 210

2(30) + y = 210

60+y = 210

y = 210-60

y = 150

Only one equation is needed. However, doing both like this shows that we get the same y value, and it helps confirm the answers.

Is the relationship shown by the data linear? If so, model the data with an equation.

Answers

Answer:

The relation is linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Yes, the relationship shown is linear. The equation of the line is y=-1.25x-13.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

This data is linear as y decreases at a constant rate. The equation of a line is y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y intercept

To find m:

m=[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

m=[tex]\frac{(-2)-(-7)}{(-9)-(-5)}[/tex]

m=[tex]\frac{5}{-4}[/tex]

m=[tex]-\frac{5}{4}[/tex]=-1.25

To find b, you can use any of the given points:

(-9,-2)

(-2)=-1.25(-9)+b

-2=11.25+b

-2-11.25=b

b=-13.25

Therefore, using the calculated values for m and b:

y=mx+b

y=-1.25x-13.25
