Use a substitution strategy to solve the following problem.
Two isosceles triangles have the same base length. The equal sides of one of the triangles
are 3 times as long as the equal sides of the other. Find the lengths of the sides of the triangles when
their perimeters are 34 cm and 82 cm.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the equal sides of the isosceles triangle with a perimeter of 34 cm perimeter is 12 cm

The length of the equal sides of the isosceles triangle with a perimeter of 82 cm perimeter is 36 cm

The base length of both triangles is 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The base length of the triangles are equal

The base length of one of the triangle = The base length of the other triangle

The equal sides of one of the triangles = 3 × The length of the equal sides of the other

The perimeter of the triangles are; 34 cm and 82 cm

Let 'b' represent the base length of each triangle, let 'a' represent the length of an equal side of the smaller triangle with a perimeter of 34 cm and let 'c' represent the length of an equal side of the larger triangle with a perimeter of 82 cm

For the smaller triangle, we have;

b + 2·a = 34..(1)

For the other triangle;

b + 2·c = 82...(2)

Given that the side length of the larger triangle are larger than those of the smaller triangle, and that the side length of the larger triangle is 3 times the side length of the smaller triangle, we get;

c = 3·a

By the substitution method, from equation (2) we get;

b + 2·c = b + 2 × 3·a = b + 6·a = 82

∴ b + 6·a = 82...(3)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (3) gives;

b + 6·a - (b + 2·a) = 82 - 34 = 48

b - b + 6·a - 2·a = 48

4·a = 48

a = 48/4 = 12

The length of the equal sides of the 34 cm perimeter (smaller) isosceles triangle, a = 12 cm

From c = 3·a, and a = 12, we get;

c = 3 × 12 = 36

The length of the equal sides of the 82 cm perimeter (larger) isosceles triangle, c = 36 cm

From equation (1), we get;

b + 2·a = 34

∴ b + 2 × 12 = 34

b = 34 - 2 × 12 = 10

The base length of both triangles, b = 10 cm

Complete the solution of the equation. Find the
value of y when x equals -8.
4x + 9y = -14

does anyone know what this is?

Answers

Answer:

Y is equal to 2

Step-by-step explanation:

X equals -8

So,

4(-8) + 9y = -14

-32 + 9y = -14

-32 + 32 + 9y = -14 + 32

9y = 18

1/9 × 9y = 18 × 1/9

y = 2

which of the following exponential functions represents the graph below?

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by taking a look at the x and y intercepts. When x=0, y=3. Plugging this into each function,

5 * 3^(0) = 5

3 * 5^(0) = 3

5 * (1/3)^(0) = 5

3 * (1/5) ^ (0) = 3

Therefore, our answer must be either B or D. Then, although y=0 isn't given on the graph, based on where the graph is heading, we can say that y is getting smaller as x gets larger. For a big number, such as 100, we know that

3 * 5^(100) is something big and 3 * (1/5) ^ (100) is something small*. Therefore, as y must get small, not big, as x gets larger, D is our answer.

* We know that this is something small because anything less than 1 to the power of something greater than 1 makes it smaller. For example, 0.5² is 0.25, which is smaller than 0.5

You move down 2 units and up 8 units. You end at (0, 4). Where did you start?

Answers

Given:

You move down 2 units and up 8 units.

You end at (0, 4).

To find:

The starting point.

Solution:

Let the starting point be [tex](x,y)[/tex].

You move down 2 units and up 8 units. So, the rule of translation is:

[tex](x,y-2+8)=(x,y+6)[/tex]

You end at (0, 4).

[tex](x,y+6)=(0,4)[/tex]

On comparing both sides, we get

[tex]x=0[/tex]

[tex]y+6=0[/tex]

[tex]y=4-6[/tex]

[tex]y=-2[/tex]

Therefore, the starting point is (0,-2).

The total cost of Anfä's trip to the dentist was $628.35. She paid a flat fee of $89.95 which included the checkup:
cleaning and then had 4 cavities filled, each of which cost the same amount. Which shows the correct equation and
value of x, the cost of each cavity filling?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of each cavity filling was $ 134.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total cost of Anfa's trip to the dentist was $ 628.35, and she paid a flat fee of $ 89.95 which included the checkup: cleaning and then had 4 cavities filled, each of which cost the same amount, to determine which shows the correct equation and value of x, the cost of each cavity filling, the following calculation must be performed:

(628.35 - 89.95) / 4 = X

538.4 / 4 = X

134.6 = X

Therefore, the cost of each cavity filling was $ 134.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-x+12; is a line with slope m1=-1

to find perpendicular slope of intersecting line take the negative inverse of m1. so -1*(1/(-1))=1=m2

use equation for a line of y=m*x+b and put in the point (-5,7) and solve for b=the y axis intercept

7=1*(-5)+b

Help... A store owner collected data about the number of customers who came to the store in a day, y, for several days compared to the high temperature for that day, x. He found that the correlation coefficient was −0.76.

Answers

Answer:

strong, negative;

decreased

Step-by-step explanation:

A correlation coefficient that is close to 1, shows a strong association.

If the correlation coefficient is negative, it implies a negative association, meaning as one variable increases, the other decreases.

A positive correlation coefficient shows a positive association between two variables. This implies that as one variable increases, the other increases, or as one decreases, the other decreases as well.

In the case given, we are given that the correlation coefficient obtained is -0.76. This therefore shows a negative association. Also, the value is closer to 1.

This implies that there is a STRONG, NEGATIVE association association between x and y. This is because as the temperature (x) of the day increases across days, the number of customers who patronized the store DECREASED.

length of each speech.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

coaches = 2x

parents = 3x

total time = under 30 mins

2x + 3x < 30

5x < 30

x < 6

Answer:

Sample response: Choose a variable to represent the average speech length. If x is the variable, then the inequality would be (2+3)x < 30,="" or="">x < 30. The 2 + 3, or 5, represents the total number of people making speeches. Each one would last an average of x minutes, so we want the product of x and (2+3) to be less than 30, the time limit set by the principal.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Para calcular el volumen de un prisma rectangular, es necesario multiplicar sus tres dimensiones, esto es, longitud*ancho*altura. El volumen se expresa en unidades cúbicas.

Entonces:

volumen= longitud*ancho*altura

En este caso, los datos conocidos son:

volumen= 24 m³longitud= largo de la base= 2,5 mancho= 4 maltura= ?

Reemplazando:

24 m³= 2,5 m* 4 m* altura

Resolviendo:

[tex]altura=\frac{24 m^{3} }{2,5 m*4m}[/tex]

[tex]altura=\frac{24 m^{3} }{10 m^{2} }[/tex]

altura= 2,4 m
