What is the value of x in the geometric sequence x,3,−1/3

Answer:

2x +4 = 9

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number

2x +4 = 9

Subtract 4 from each side

2x+4-4 = 9-4

2x = 5

Divide by 2

2x/2 =5/2

x = 5/2

Answer:

  (b)  BC = B"C"/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Choices A, C, D are all different ways of expressing the same relationship, and they are all incorrect.

B"C" is segment BC after dilation by a factor of 3, so it is 3 times as long as BC. That is, BC is 1/3 the length of B"C", choice B.

Answer:

look below

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph the function h(x) = -2x - 3, we can plot points on a coordinate plane using the equation and then connect the points to form the graph.

To find the points, we can choose different values of x and substitute them into the equation to calculate the corresponding values of h(x). Let's select a few values for x:

When x = -2:

h(-2) = -2(-2) - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1

So we have the point (-2, 1).

When x = 0:

h(0) = -2(0) - 3 = 0 - 3 = -3

So we have the point (0, -3).

When x = 2:

h(2) = -2(2) - 3 = -4 - 3 = -7

So we have the point (2, -7).

Now, we can plot these points on a coordinate plane and connect them to form the graph of the function h(x) = -2x - 3.

The graph will show a straight line that passes through the points (-2, 1), (0, -3), and (2, -7). The line will have a negative slope of -2, meaning it slopes downward from left to right.

Here's a rough representation of the graph:

Step-by-step explanation:

Have a nice day

Answer:

Given:

Length of the ladder = 9.85 m

The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

To find:

The height to the top and the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.​

Solution:

let x be the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder. Then the height to the top of the ladder is (x+5).

Pythagoras theorem: In a right angle triangle,

[tex]Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2[/tex]

In the given situation, hypotenuse is the length of ladder, i.e., 9.85 m. The base is x m and the height is (x+5) m.

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we get

[tex](9.85)^2=x^2+(x+5)^2[/tex]

[tex]97.0225=x^2+x^2+10x+25[/tex]

[tex]0=2x^2+10x+25-97.0225[/tex]

[tex]0=2x^2+10x-72.0225[/tex]

Here, [tex]a=2, b=10,c=-72.0225[/tex]. Using the quadratic formula, we get

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{(10)^2-4(2)(-72.0225)}}{2(2)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{676.18}}{4}[/tex]

Approximating the value, we get

[tex]x=\dfrac{-10\pm 26}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{-10+26}{4},\dfrac{-10-26}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{16}{4},\dfrac{-36}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=4,-9[/tex]

Distance cannot be negative so [tex]x\neq -9.[/tex]

Now we have [tex]x=4[/tex]

[tex]x+5=4+5[/tex]

[tex]x+5=9[/tex]

Therefore, the base is 4 m and the height is 9 m.

The base, height to the top of the ladder and height of the ladder when connected together we will get a triangle and then apply Pythagoras theorem we get base 4.0 m and height 9 m.

According to this theorem, the hypotenuse l,  base b and opposite side a are connected by the equation written as follows:

hypotenuse² = base² + opposite side²

l² = a² + b².

Thus if we know either two sides or the triangle we can calculate the length of the unknown side of the triangle. It is given that the length of ladder is 9.85 m. It is placed against a wall and the base that is distance between foot and wall is 5 m less than the height to the top.

Assuming a triangle connecting these three points, the hypotenuse is the length of the ladder 9.85 m and let x be the base and opposite side that is the height to the top be x + 5. Now apply Pythagoras theorem.

9.85² = (x+5)² + x²

97.02 = 2 x² + 10x + 25

2 x² + 10x -72.02 = 0

Now solve for x using quadratic equation we get x = 4.00. The base of the triangle is 4 m and opposite side that is the height = x +5 = 4 +5 = 9m.

Therefore, base is 4 m and height to the top of the ladder is 9 m.

D. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the secant-scant product theorem. Thus, based on the theorem, we have the following equation:

6(4 + 6) = 5(x + 5)

6(10) = 5x + 25

60 = 5x + 25

Subtract 30 from each side

60 - 25 = 5x + 25 - 30

35 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5

35/5 = 5x/5

This is a super simple problem. I'm going to walk through it as I do when I teach this to my students for the first time.

We are given a rectangle. We are told to find how fast the area is changing under certain conditions. That tells us that the main equation for this problem is the area formula for a rectangle which is

[tex]A=lw[/tex]. If we are looking for the rate at which the rectangle's area is changing, that means that we need to find the derivative of the area implicitly. This derivative is found using the product rule because the length is being multiplied by the width:

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=l\frac{dw}{dt}+w\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex] . If our unknown is the rate at which the area is changing, [tex]\frac{dA}{dt}[/tex], that means that everything else has to have a value (because you can only have one unknown in an equation). Here's what we're told:

The length of the rectangle is increasing at a rate of 7 cm/s, so that satisfies our [tex]\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex];

the width is increasing at a rate of 6 cm/s, so that satisfies our [tex]\frac{dw}{dt}[/tex];

and all of this is going on when the length = 12 and the width = 8. It looks like everything will have a value except for our unknown. Filling in:

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=12(6)+8(7)[/tex] and

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=72+56[/tex] so

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=128\frac{cm^2}{s}[/tex]

Answer:

The solution is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

5x = 95

We need to do the opposite

We are multiplying x by 5 so we need to divide by 5

5x/5 = 95/5

x = 19

Corinne's solution is incorrect.

The mistake occurred when she subtracted 5 from both sides of the equation.

We have,

To solve the equation correctly, we need to isolate the variable x. Here are the correct steps:

Starting with the equation:

5x = 95

To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:

(5x) / 5 = 95 / 5

x = 19

Thus,

The correct solution to the equation is x = 19.

Answer:

A sample of 997 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

A previous study indicates that the proportion of left-handed golfers is 8%.

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.08[/tex]

98% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].  

How large a sample is needed in order to be 98% confident that the sample proportion will not differ from the true proportion by more than 2%?

This is n for which M = 0.02. So

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.02 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.02\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02})^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The side ratios of a 30°-60°-90° triangle are 1 : √3 : 2. You are given the short side GF of this triangle, so its long side is GH = GF·3.

Segment GI divides the area of ΔGFH in half, so that ΔGFI is half the above area. Segments GF, FI, IH, GI are all congruent, so segment GJ divides isosceles triangle GFI in half. That is. ΔGJI is half the area of ΔGFI, so is 1/4 the area of GFH.
