An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 18 feet. If a square whose sides have the same length as one side of the triangle is built, what will be the area of the square?

Answers

Answer:

36 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

equilateral means all sides are equally long.

a triangle has 3 sides.

in our case they are all equally long.

and their sum (all 3 sides together) is the perimeter

P = 18 = 3 × side length

side length = 18/3 = 6 ft

a square with the same side length (6) had then an area of

side length × side length = 6×6 = 6² = 36 ft²

it is important to remember : a length is measured e.g. in feet (ft). an area is then meshed in square-feet (ft²). it is important to add this to the calculated numbers to express the right dimension of these numbers.

Show all work to solve the equation for x. If a solution is extraneous, be sure to identify it in your final answer.

square root of the quantity x plus 7 end quantity minus 1 equals x

Answers

Answer:

x=2  true solution

x=-3 extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(x+7) -1 = x

Add 1 to each side

sqrt(x+7) -1+1 = x+1

sqrt(x+7)  = x+1

Square each side

(sqrt(x+7))^2  = (x+1)^2

x+7 = x^2 +2x+1

Subtract x from each side

7 = x^2 +x +1

Subtract 7 from each side

0 = x^2 +x - 6

Factor

0 = (x+3)(x-2)

Using the zero product property

x+3 = 0   x-2 =0

x=-3  x=2

Check solutions

x=-3

sqrt(-3+7) -1 = -3

sqrt(4) -1 = -3

3 =-3  extraneous

x=2

sqrt(2+7) -1 = 2

Question 10 The hypotenuse of a right triangle is I m longer than the longer leg. The other leg is 7 m shorter than the longer leg. Determine the lengths of the three sides of the triangle. (3 marks)​

Answers

Answer:

5, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the longer leg then x + 1 is the hypotenuse and x - 7 the shorter leg

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + (x - 7)² = (x + 1)² ← expand using FOIL

x² + x² - 14x + 49 = x² + 2x + 1

2x² - 14x + 49 = x² + 2x + 1 ( subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides )

x² - 16x + 48 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4)(x - 12) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x = 4 , then x - 7 = 4 - 7 = - 3 ← not possible

x = 12, then x - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5 and x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

The lengths of the 3 sides are

longer leg = 12 m , shorter leg = 5 m and hypotenuse = 13 m

A manufacturer of radio sets produced 600 units in the third year and 700 units in the
seventh year. Assuming the production uniformly increases by a fixed number every year,
the production in the first year is
b) 530
d) 570
a) 500
c) 550

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to explain this is to use slope and then writing equations for lines. The reason for that is because we are told that the production uniformly increases. That "uniform increase" is the rate of change, and since the rate of change is constant, we are talking about the slope of a line, where the rate of change is constant throughout the whole length of the line.

Create coordinates from the info given:

In the third year, 600 units were made. Time is always an x thing, so the coordinate is (3, 600). Likewise for the other bit of info. Time is always an x thing, so the coordinate is (7, 700). Applying the slope formula:

[tex]m=\frac{700-600}{7-3}=\frac{100}{4}=25[/tex]  which means that 25 units per year are produced. Write the equation to find the number of units produced in any year. I used the point-slope form of a line to do this:

y - 600 = 25(x - 3) and

y - 600 = 25x - 75 so

y = 25x + 525

If we want to know the number of units in the first year, we will replace x with 1 and do the math:

y = 25(1) + 525 so

y = 550 units, choice C.

The point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] is a solution of the system given by [tex]y<2x+8[/tex] and [tex]y \geq -x-3[/tex]

Given point: [tex](-2,2)[/tex]

Given systems:

[tex]y>-2x+2[/tex] and [tex]y>x+5[/tex] [tex]y<x+2[/tex] and [tex]y>x-1[/tex] [tex]y<2x+8[/tex] and [tex]y \geq -x-3[/tex] [tex]y<2x+3[/tex] and [tex]y \geq -2x-5[/tex]

To find: The system to which the given point is a solution

If a point is a solution of a system, then the coordinates of the point satisfies all the equation(s) or inequation(s) of the system. So, we can substitute the x & y coordinates of the given point into the inequalities of each of the given systems and check if the inequalities are satisfied by the coordinates of the point.

(1) [tex]y>-2x+2[/tex] and [tex]y>x+5[/tex]

Substitute the coordinates of the point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] into the inequalities of the system.

Put [tex]x=-2,y=2[/tex] in [tex]y>-2x+2[/tex] to get,

[tex]2>-2(-2)+2[/tex]

[tex]2>4+2[/tex]

[tex]2>6[/tex]

The above inequality is clearly impossible and thus, the coordinates of the given point does not satisfy this inequality.

This implies that the given point is not a solution of this system.

(2) [tex]y<x+2[/tex] and [tex]y>x-1[/tex]

Substitute the coordinates of the point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] into the inequalities of the system.

Put [tex]x=-2,y=2[/tex] in [tex]y<x+2[/tex] to get,

[tex]2<-2+2[/tex]

[tex]2<0[/tex]

The above inequality is clearly impossible and thus, the coordinates of the given point does not satisfy this inequality.

This implies that the given point is not a solution of this system.

(3) [tex]y<2x+8[/tex] and [tex]y \geq -x-3[/tex]

Substitute the coordinates of the point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] into the inequalities of the system.

Put [tex]x=-2,y=2[/tex] in [tex]y<2x+8[/tex] to get,

[tex]2<2(-2)+8[/tex]

[tex]2<-4+8[/tex]

[tex]2<4[/tex]

This is a true inequality. Then, the given point satisfies the first inequality of the system.

We will now check if the point satisfies the second inequality of the system.

Put [tex]x=-2,y=2[/tex] in [tex]y \geq -x-3[/tex] to get,

[tex]2 \geq -(-2)-3[/tex]

[tex]2 \geq 2-3[/tex]

[tex]2 \geq -1[/tex]

This is also a true inequality. Then, the given point also satisfies the second inequality of the system.

Thus, the given point is a solution of this system.

(4) [tex]y<2x+3[/tex] and [tex]y \geq -2x-5[/tex]

Substitute the coordinates of the point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] into the inequalities of the system.

Put [tex]x=-2,y=2[/tex] in [tex]y<2x+3[/tex] to get,

[tex]2<2(-2)+3[/tex]

[tex]2<-4+3[/tex]

[tex]2<-1[/tex]

The above inequality is clearly impossible and thus, the coordinates of the given point does not satisfy this inequality.

This implies that the given point is not a solution of this system.

Thus, we can see that the coordinates of the given point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] satisfies the inequalities of the third system only.

Then, the point [tex](-2,2)[/tex] is a solution of the system given by [tex]y<2x+8[/tex] and [tex]y \geq -x-3[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

a(n)= 1/2 * (-8) n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the ratio between successive terms is constant. This means that we can move from any term to the next one by multiplying by a constant value. Let's calculate this ratio over the first few terms:

\dfrac{-256}{32}=\dfrac{32}{-4}=\dfrac{-4}{\frac12}=\blue{-8}

We see that the constant ratio between successive terms is \blue{-8}−8start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed. In other words, we can find any term by starting with the first term and multiplying by \blue{-8}−8start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed repeatedly until we get to the desired term.

Let's look at the first few terms expressed as products:

nn 111 222 333 444

We can see that every term is the product of the first term, \red{\dfrac12}  

2

1

start color #df0030, start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, end color #df0030, and a power of the constant ratio, \blue{-8}−8start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed. Note that this power is always one less than the term number nnn. This is because the first term is the product of itself and plainly 111, which is like taking the constant ratio to the zeroth power.

Thus, we arrive at the following explicit formula (Note that \red{\dfrac12}

Step-by-step explanation:

around this point the cos function "mirrors" with opposite signs. cos(<90) is positive and cos(>90) is negative.

but |cos(90-a)| = |cos(90+a)| for 0 <= a <= 90

75 = 90 - 15

105 = 90 + 15

Answers

To be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with the exponent part at all. Instead, I think it has to do with the fact that integers are inherently easier to grasp compared to fractions (which is exactly what rational numbers are).

For instance, it's much easier to say 2+3 = 5 than it is to say 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

So going back to the exponent example, it's easier to say

x^2*x^3 = x^(2+3) = x^5

than it is to say

x^(1/2)*x^(1/4) = x^(1/2+1/4) = x^(3/4)

So that's my opinion as to why rational exponents are more tricky to grasp compared to integer exponents. Of course, everyone learns math differently so maybe some find fractions easier than others.

So you would start by adding up the total amount he ate. So that would be

1.3 + 1.75 = 3.05
