altitude TP is drawn to hypotenuse RS. If TP = 6
and RP is 5 less than PS, find the length of
hypotenuse RS. [Only an algebraic solution will
be accepted.]

Someone help me please

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let PS = x and RP = x-5

Using Pythagorean theorem on the two smaller rt triangles formed,

6^2 + x^2 = (ST)^2

6^2 + (x-5)^2 = (RT)^2

Now use Pythag on big triangle and sub in above values:

(2x-5)^2 = 6^2 + x^2 + 6^2 + (x-5)^2

Multiply out and simplify to

x^2 - 5x -36 = 0

Factor the quadratic: ((x-9)(x+4)=0  Therefore x=9 or x=-4.  We may disregard the negative answer so x = 9.  So PS is 9 and RP is 4.

Therefore entire hypotenuse is 4 + 9 or 13.

Identify the pair of points that can represent an increasing function that has a greater rate of change than that of the function Y=8/5x+ 3/5

Answers

Answer:

A general lineal equation is written as:

y = a*x +b

Where a is the slope (also called the rate of change) and b is the y-intercept-

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

The slope will be:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

For the line:

Y= (8/5)*x+ 3/5

The slope, or rate of change, is 8/5.

Then we want to find two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) such that the slope generated by them is larger to 8/5.

There are a lot of ways to finding these points, a simple way is:

We could define (x1, y1) = (0, 0)

And (x2, y2) = (5, 9)

Then the rate of change of the line that passes through these two points will be

a = (9 - 0)/(5 - 0) = 9/5

Which is larger than 8/5, as we wanted.

Marcus bought school supplies for $42.00, not including tax. If the tax rate was 8.5%,
what was the total cost of the school supplies, including tax?

Answers

Answer:

$45.57

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the dollar amount of the tax. This can be done by multiplying the price by the sales tax percentage

$42 × 8.5%= $3.57

Now, add the sales tax amount back to the price.

42 + 3.57 = 45.57

[tex]x^a=y^b=z^c \\xyz=1\\ab+bc+ca=?[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

ab+bc+ca=0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

[tex]x^a=y^b=z^c[/tex]

xyz=1

Separating equations:

[tex]x^a=z^c[/tex]

[tex]y^b=z^c[/tex]

Solving the first equation for x:

[tex]\displaystyle x=z^\frac{c}{a}[/tex]

Solving the second equation for y:

[tex]\displaystyle y=z^\frac{c}{b}[/tex]

Substituting in

xyz=1:

[tex]\displaystyle z^\frac{c}{a}z^\frac{c}{b}z=1[/tex]

Adding the exponents:

[tex]\displaystyle z^{\frac{c}{a}+\frac{c}{b}+1}=1[/tex]

Since [tex]1=z^0[/tex]:

[tex]\displaystyle z^{\frac{c}{a}+\frac{c}{b}+1}=z^0[/tex]

The base is z on both sides so we get rid of them:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{c}{a}+\frac{c}{b}+1=0[/tex]

Multiplying by ab:

bc+ac+ab=0

Reordering:

ab+bc+ca=0

The local Farm Market sells peppers at five for $2.25. Complete the rate table.

Answers

number of peppers (in $)
1 pepper - 0.45
2 peppers - 0.90
3 peppers - 1.35
4 peppers - 1.80
5 peppers - 2.25
10 peppers - 4.50
15 peppers - 6.75
20 peppers - 9
100 peppers - 45

for 20$ you could buy 44 peppers (20 divided by 0.45)


The proportionality is 0.45, then the equation is C = 0.45 n. The number of peppers you buy for $20 will be 44.44. Then the table is completed below.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a group of sequentially ordered numbers a and b expressed as a/b, where b is never equal to zero. When two objects are equal, a statement is said to be proportional.

Let 'C' be the cost and 'n' be the number of peppers. Then the proportionality is given as,

C ∝ kn

At n = 5, the cost C = 2.25, then we have

2.25 = k (5)

k = 2.25 / 5

k = 0.45

Then the equation is given as,

C = 0.45 n

The number of peppers you buy for $20 will be given as,

20 = 0.45 n

n = 44.44

Then the table is completed below.

Number of peppers             Cost

              1                              $0.45

             2                              $0.90

The student council at Summerfield High School is making T-shirts to sell for a fundraiser, at a price of $11 apiece. The costs, meanwhile, are $10 per shirt, plus a setup fee of $141. Selling a certain number of shirts will allow the student council to cover their costs. What will the costs be? How many shirts must be sold?

Answers

Answer:

$1551 needed to cover the costs and 141 shirts will be sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a shirt costs $10 and the council is selling the shirt for $1 more ($11), after selling 141 shirts, they would have made a profit of $1*141=$141. Since there is also a setup fee of $141, the profit would actually be $0. This is when the costs are covered.

C = 10s + 141 (C is cost and s in no. of shirts sold)

s = 141

C = 141*10 + 141 = 1551

13 was subtracted form a number and that difference was then divided by 5. After which, that quotient was multiplied by 7. The resulting product was -7. What was the number?

Answers

Answer:the number is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let x be the number  13 was subtracted from so  that the difference becomes x-13

i.  dividing  the resulting difference by 5, then  (x-13)/5

ii.  Multiplying  the quotient by 7 makes  the expression become (x-13)/5 x 7

 with the product coming  to -7  we have our final equation as

(x-13)/5 x 7 = -7

Step 2 -----solving  the equation

(x-13)/5 x 7 = -7

Ist  divide  both sides by 7,

(x-13)/5 =-1

cross multiplying gives

x-13=-5

x= -5+ 13

x=8

the number is 8

The three consecutive terms
of an exponential sequence are
the second third and sixth terms
of a linear sequence. Find the
common ratio
the exponential
sequence.​

Answers

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an exponential sequence is expressed as ar^n-1

The nth term of a linear sequence is expressed as Tn = a + (n-1)d

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

d is the common difference

n is the number of terms

Let the three consecutive terms  of an exponential sequence be a/r, a and ar

second term of a linear sequence = a +d

third term of a linear sequence = a + 2d

sixth term of a linear sequence = a + 5d

Now if the three consecutive terms  of an exponential sequence are  the second third and sixth terms  of a linear sequence, this is expressed as;

a/r = a + d ..... 1

a = a + 2d ..... 2

ar = a+ 5d .... 3

From 2: a = a + 2d

a-a= 2d

0 = 2d

d = 0/2

d = 0

Substitute d = 0 into equation 1:

From 1: a/r = a + d

a/r = a+0

a/r = a

Cross multiply

a = ar

a/a = r

1 = r

Rearrange

r = 1

Hence the common ratio of the exponential sequence is 1

Answer:

a) tan x = 1

b) tany = 4 + tanx /2tanx - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given the equation

2(sinx + 2cosx) = sinx +5cosx

Open the bracket

2sinx + 4cosx =  sinx +5cosx

Collect like terms

2sinx - sinx = 5cosx - 4cosx

sinx = cos x

Divide both sides by cos x

sinx/cosx = cosx/cosx

tanx = 1

Hence the value of tan x is 1

b) Given the expression

sinxcosy + 3cosxsiny = 2sinxsiny - 4cosxcosy

We are to express tany in terms of tan x

Divide through by cosx cosy

sinxcosy/cosx cosy + 3cosxsiny/cosx cosy = 2sinxsiny/cosx cosy - 4cosxcosy/cosx cosy

sinx/cosx + 3siny/cosy = 2tanxtany - 4

tanx +3tany =  2tanxtany - 4

Collect like terms

tanx - 2tanxtany = -4 - 3tany

- 2tanxtany+3tany = -4 - tanx

tany (-2tanx+3) = -4 - tanx

tan y = -4 - tanx/-2tanx+3

tan y = -(4+tanx)/-(2tanx-3)

tany = 4 + tanx /2tanx - 3

Hence the function of tany in term of tan x is tany = 4 + tanx /2tanx - 3
