Answer 1

Answer:

75m

Step-by-step explanation:

They are similar triangles: they have two corresponding angles: in a triangle with an angle of 90°, the other two will be of 45°.

Now that we know they are similar, we can calculate the ratio of the sides, by doing 10/2=5

We want to know the side AT, so we can do that by multiplying DC for 5:

DC = 15 × 5 = 75m

You can also check this by applying Pythagoras' Theorem:

DB =

[tex] \sqrt{15^{2} + 2^{2} } [/tex]

Which equals 15.1 m

The hypotenuse of the other triangle is 15.1 × 5 = 75.5 m

Finally, we can apply for the last time the Pythagoras' Theorem to find AT:

[tex] \sqrt{75.5^{2} - 10 {}^{2} } [/tex]

Which equals 74.8 = 75 m

Solve for r.

√2/3r + 1 = 23

Answers

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{3}[/tex] r + 1 = 23 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{3}[/tex] r = 22 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] r = 66 ( divide both sides by [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] )

r = [tex]\frac{66}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] × [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] ( rationalising the denominator )

r = [tex]\frac{66\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex] = 33[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Answer:

B) r=33*sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(2)/3r+1=23

sqrt(2)/3r=23-1

sqrt(2)/3r=22

sqrt(2)r=22*3

sqrt(2)r=66

r=66/sqrt(2)

r=66*sqrt(2)/(sqrt(2)*sqrt(2))

r=(66*sqrt(2)/2

r=33*sqrt(2)

Graph y= 0.5x^2 - 4x +6 on the coordinate plane.

Vertex:

Is this considered a minimum or maximum point?

Axis of symmetry: x=

Roots: x= and x=

Answers

Answer:

V: (4, -2), min, Axis: x = 4, Roots 2 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply everything x 2 to get rid of the decimal in front of x^2

2y = x^2 - 8x + 12

Factor

2y = (x - 6)(x - 2)

The roots are at 2 and 6.

The axis of symmetry is in the center between the roots, so it is x = 4.

Put 4 into the original equation to find y

y = 0.5(4*2) - 4(4) + 6

y = 8 - 16 + 6, y = -2  

Vertex is at (4, -2). It is a minimum because the graph opens up since x*2 is positive.

Cutting the fraction into simplest form :

compounded quarterly. How
much total interest has he
earned at the end of the ...
a) second year?
b) fourth year?
c) seventh year?
d) tenth year?

Answers

C. Seventh year because that’s how much he will earn from the interest

The amount at the end of the second year is $9,734.49.

The amount at the end of the fourth year is $10,811.22.

The amount at the end of the seventh year is $12,653.68.

The amount at the end of the tenth year is $14,810.14.

What is compound interest?

It is the interest we earned on the interest.

The formula for the amount earned with compound interest after n years is given as:

A = P [tex](1 + r/n)^{nt}[/tex]

P = principal

R = rate

t = time in years

n = number of times compounded in a year.

We have,

P = $8765

r = 5.28%

n = 4 (quarterly)

Amount after 2 years.

A = 8765 [tex](1 + 0.0131)^2[/tex]

A = $9,734.49

Amount after 4 years.

A = 8765 [tex](1 + 0.0131)^4[/tex]

A = $10,811.22

Amount after 7 years.

A = 8765 [tex](1 + 0.0131)^7[/tex]

A = $12,653.68

Amount after 10 years.

A = 8765 [tex](1 + 0.0131)^{10}[/tex]

A = $14,810.14

Thus,

The amount at the end of the second, fourth, seventh, and tenth year is given above.

What value of x satisfies the equation 3x – 2 = 2x + 4?

Answers

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = 2x + 4

First, we need only 1 set of x, so I'll subtract the smallest x from the other.

-2x both sides.

x - 2 = 4

Next, add +2 to both sides. (In these types of questions always do the inverse!)

And so your answer is:

x = 6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add  2  to both sides of the equation

3x - 2 = 2x + 4

3x - 2 + 2 = 2x + 4 + 2

2. Simplify  

3x = 2x + 6

3. Subtract 2x from both sides of the Equation

3x - 2x = 2x  + 6 - 2x

4. Simplify

x = 6

Answers

The following functions could represent the graph below then the correct option is B; y =  (x - a)^2 (x - b)^4.

What is graph ?

A graph contains data of which input maps to which output.

Analysis of this leads to the relations which were used to make it.

we have given that a and b are real numbers different than zero.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the x-axis in two values.

Now, if we would have an equation such as:

y = x(x - a)^3 (x - b)^3

then when x = 0

y = 0(0-a)^3 (0-b)^3

y = 0

But in the graph, we can see that when x = 0, the value of y is different than zero,

(For example, if x > a and x < b we would have a negative value for y)

Then the correct option is B ;y =  (x - a)^2 (x - b)^4

Answers

The total amount of pennies Idrissa raised in this fundraiser is = 960 pennies

The total mass of all the pennies = 2,400g

But two (2) pennies = 5g

Therefore, to calculate the total amount of pennies Idrissa raised you cross multiply.

That is: 2 pennies = 5g

x pennies = 2,400g

Making x the subject of formula,

[tex] x = \frac{2 \times 2400}{5} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{4800}{5} [/tex]
