Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1)

[tex]\displaystyle \left((2-x)^2 + 1)\right) + (2\sqrt{3} - 1 ) \left(x^2 + 1\right)[/tex]

Or simplified:

[tex]\displaystyle = 2\sqrt{3}x^2 - 4x + 4 + 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Part 2)

The value of x for which the given expression will be the lowest is:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\approx 0.5774[/tex]

And the magnitude of ∠BAC is 60°.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a ΔABC with an area of one. We are also given that AB = 2, BC = a, and CA = b. CD is a perpendicular line from C to AB.

Please refer to the diagram below.

Part 1)

Since we know that the area of the triangle is one:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} (2)(CD) = 1[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle CD = 1[/tex]

From the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]\displaystyle x^2 + CD^2 = b^2[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]x^2 + 1 = b^2[/tex]

BD will simply be (2 - x). From the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]\displaystyle (2-x)^2 + CD^2 = a^2[/tex]

Substitute:  

[tex]\displaystyle (2-x)^2+ 1 = a^2[/tex]

We have the expression:

[tex]\displaystyle a^2 + (2\sqrt{3} - 1) b^2[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle = \boxed{\left((2-x)^2 + 1)\right) + (2\sqrt{3} - 1 ) \left(x^2 + 1\right)}[/tex]

Part 2)

We can simplify the expression. Expand and distribute:

[tex]\displaystyle (4 - 4x + x^2 + 1)+ (2\sqrt{3} -1)x^2 + 2\sqrt{3} - 1[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle = ((2\sqrt{3} -1 )x^2 + x^2) + (-4x) + (4+1-1+2\sqrt{3})[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle = 2\sqrt{3}x^2 - 4x + 4 + 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Since this is a quadratic with a positive leading coefficient, it will have a minimum value. Recall that the minimum value of a quadratic always occur at its vertex. The vertex is given by the formulas:

[tex]\displaystyle \text{Vertex} = \left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)[/tex]

In this case, a = 2√3, b = -4, and c = (4 + 2√3).

Therefore, the x-coordinate of the vertex is:

[tex]\displaystyle x = -\frac{(-4)}{2(2\sqrt{3})} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} =\boxed{ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}}[/tex]

Hence, the value of x at which our expression will be the lowest is at √3/3.

To find ∠BAC, we can use the tangent ratio. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \angle BAC = \frac{CD}{x}[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \angle BAC = \frac{1}{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}} = \sqrt{3}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle\boxed{ m\angle BAC = \arctan\sqrt{3} = 60^\circ}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

75°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to know that the interior angle sum of a triangle is always 180°.

Now, to find the missing angle aside from x, we need to complete the sum 180-155=25, seeing 155° lies on a straight line. Remembering the interior angle sum of a triangle is always 180°, it is thus clear that 25+80+x=180. If we complete this equation, x=75.

Compute the standard deviation of the following set of data to the nearest whole number:
8, 12, 15, 17, 18
14
03
04
13

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, and the variance is found by using the mean. So we will do that first. I will use the population variance as opposed to the sample variance since our set of numbers is small.

The mean: 8 + 12 + 15 + 17 + 18 = 70 and divide that by 5 to get

[tex]\bar{x}=14[/tex] and use this to find the variance in the formula:

[tex]s^2=\frac{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})^2}{n}[/tex] it is a bit difficult to enter that formula in correctly, but here's how it works mathematically:

[tex]s^2=\frac{(8-14)^2+(12-14)^2+(15-14)^2+(17-14)^2+(18-14)^2}{5}[/tex]

Squaring this ensures us that we don't end up with zero, which would be useless.

[tex]s^2=\frac{36+4+1+9+16}{5}[/tex] so

[tex]s^2=13.2[/tex] which means that the standard deviation is

s = 3.633

(If you do it with n-1 = 4 in the denominator of the variance, you get a standard deviation of 4.062)

What are the domain and range of the inequality y < sqrt x+3+1

I don't get it I try to solve it but I just didn't get .

Answers

Given:

The inequality is:

[tex]y<\sqrt{x+3}+1[/tex]

To find:

The domain and range of the given inequality.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]y<\sqrt{x+3}+1[/tex]

The related equation is:

[tex]y=\sqrt{x+3}+1[/tex]

This equation is defined if:

[tex]x+3\geq 0[/tex]

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

In the given inequality, the sign of inequality is <, it means the points on the boundary line are not included in the solution set. Thus, -3 is not included in the domain.

So, the domain of the given inequality is x>-3.

We know that,

[tex]\sqrt{x+3}\geq 0[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{x+3}+1\geq 0+1[/tex]

[tex]y\geq 1[/tex]

The points on the boundary line are not included in the solution set. Thus, 1 is not included in the range.

So, the domain of the given inequality is y>1.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Find the size of the angles marked by letters in the following diagram.​

Answers

Answer:

x = 52

y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree measure of a straight line is (180) degrees. One can use this to find the measure of the angle that is adjacent to the angle with a measure of (142) degrees. Form an equation and solve for the unknown,

142 + (unknown angle) = 180

unknown angle = 38

The inscribed angle theorem states that twice the measure of an angle with its vertex of the circumference (outer edge) of a circle is equal to the measure of the surrounding arc. Therefore, one can state the following:

(2)(unknown angle) = (surrounding arc)

(2)(38) = (surrounding arc)

76 = surrounding arc

The central angles theorem states that the measure of an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle is equal to the measure of the surrounding arc. Therefore, one can state the following:

m<O = (surrounding arc)

m<O = 76

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the circumference of the circle. All radii in a circle are congrunet. Therefore the triangle with angle (x) and vertex (O) is an isosceles triangle, as two of its sides are radii, and are thus congruent. One property of an isosceles triangle is the base angles theorem. This theorem states that the angles opposite the congruent sides in an isosceles triangle are congruent. Moreover, the sum of angles in any triangle is (180) degrees. Therefore, one can make the following statement:

m<O + x + x = 180

76 + 2x = 180

x = 52

Finally, one can use the property that the sum of angles in any triangle is (180) degrees to make the following statement:

(x + 19) + (x + y) + (38) = 180

52 + 19 + 52 + y + 38 = 180

161 + y = 180

y = 19

x=52°

y=19°

Answer:

Solution given:

<OCA=19°[base angle of isosceles triangle]

Since ∆AOC is similar to ∆ BOC

y=19°[corresponding angle of a similar triangle are equal]

<OAB=<OBA=x[base angle of isosceles triangle]

again

<A+<B=180°[exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angle]

x+19+x+19=142°

2x=142°-38°

x=104/2

x=52°
