Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.

  AE/AD = EC/DB

  (x+3)/(x -1) = x/(x -3)

  x^2 -9 = x^2 -x . . . . . . . cross multiply

  x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . add x+9-x^2 to both sides

In triangle ABC, b = 600, ∠B = 11°, and ∠C = 75°. Find a.​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We could use the Law of Sines if we only knew what angle A was. It just so happens that by the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem, angle A is equal to

180 - B - C. Therefore,

angle A = 180 - 11 - 75 so

angle A = 94. And the Law of Sines is

[tex]\frac{sin94}{a}=\frac{sin11}{600}[/tex] and cross multiply to get

600sin94 = asin11 and solve for a:

[tex]a=\frac{600sin94}{sin11}[/tex] gives you that

The row-echelon form of the augmented matrix of a system of equations is given. Find the solution of the system.

Answers

Answer:

x = -5; y = 4, z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the row echelon form as:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&\ \ 4|&-1\\0&1&-1|&3\\0&0&\ \ 1|&1\end{array}\right][/tex]

This matrix can be represented as:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&4\\0&1&-1\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}-1\\3\\1\end{array}\right] \\\\Performing\ matrix\ multiplication\ gives:\\\\\left[\begin{array}{c}x+4z\\y-z\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}-1\\3\\1\end{array}\right][/tex]

Therefore:

z = 1

y - z = 3;  

y = 3 + z = 3 + 1 = 4.

Hence, y = 4

x + 4z = - 1;

x = -1 - 4z = -1 - 4(1) = -5

x = -5

Answers

Answer: The measure of angle 4 is 95 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that the lines are parallel that means the alternate exterior angles are congruent. The alternate exterior angle of the angle marked with 95 degrees is angle 1. That means angle one is 95 degrees. Angle 1 and Angle 4 are vertical angles. All vertical angles are congruent so this mean angle 4 is also 95 degrees.

If a is an odd number, b is not divisible by 3 and LCM of a and b is P, what is the LCM of 3a and 2b?

Answers

Answer:

The LCM of 3a and 2b = 6P

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM of  3 a  and  2 b  will be  6 p

Since  a  is odd, which means it's not divisible by 2. Therefore a can be number 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, .......

b  is not divisible by  3, which means b can be number 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, .....

LCM of a and b is P

Factors of 2b can be 2 multiplied by (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, ..... )  

Factors of 3a can be 3 multiplied by (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, .......)

So, to get the LCM of 3a and 2b, since we already show the factors of a and b, Then, 3 X 2 X P (remember P is the LCM of a and b)

The LCM of 3a and 2b = 6P

       

Edna has a new St. Bernard puppy. He found a mud puddle on their last walk, so Edna needs to give him a bath. She buys a bottle of dog shampoo that costs $3.99. The bottle contains 28.5 ounces of shampoo. What is the cost per ounce of shampoo?

Answers

Answer: 7.142857142857143

Step-by-step explanation: all you have to do is divide 28.5 by 3.99

The cost per ounce of shampoo is 7.15 ounce.

Assume that the cost per ounce of shampoo is ${x}.

Total cost of bottle of a dog shampoo is $3.99.

Amount of shampoo in the bottle is 28.5 ounces.

So, we can write the cost per ounce of shampoo as

x = 28.5/3.99

x = 7.15 ounce

The cost per ounce of shampoo is 7.15 ounce.

URGENT: If θ is a second-quadrant angle and cosθ = -2/3, then tanθ = _____.

Answers

In the second quadrant, both cos and tan are negative while only sin is positive.

To find tan, we will use the following property below:

[tex] \large \boxed{ {tan}^{2} \theta = {sec}^{2} \theta - 1}[/tex]

Sec is the reciprocal of cos. If cos is a/b then sec is b/a. Since cos is 2/3 then sec is 3/2

[tex] \large{ {tan}^{2} \theta = {( - \frac{3}{2}) }^{2} - 1} \\ \large{ {tan}^{2} \theta = \frac{9}{4} - 1} \\ \large{ {tan}^{2} \theta = \frac{9}{4} - \frac{4}{4} \longrightarrow \frac{5}{4} } \\ \large{tan \theta = \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{4} } } \\ \large \boxed{tan \theta = \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2} }[/tex]

Since tan is negative in the second quadrant. Hence,

[tex] \large{ \cancel{ tan \theta = \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2} } \longrightarrow \boxed{tan \theta = - \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2} }}[/tex]

tan = -√5/2

Answers

Answer:

The value of x is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

55°

(3 x + 23)

75°

3 x = 27

x = 9

So, the value of x is 9.

An aeroplane travels on a bearing of 295o so that it is 200 km west of its starting point. How far has it travelled on this bearing?
please use diagrams to explain

Answers

Answer: Approximately 221 km

The more accurate value is roughly 220.675583792499 km but even that isn't an exact value.

===============================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The plane starts at point A, which is the origin (0,0)

Directly north is the bearing 0 degrees, which it sometimes written as triple zeros and a degree symbol at the end, so we'd write 000° to mean directly north.

Let's say we face directly north. When turning clockwise (turn toward the east), the bearing angle increases. That means directly east is the bearing 090° and 180° is directly south.

The bearing 270° is directly west. Another 25 degrees gets us to 270+25 = 295°

This plane is facing the northwest direction, as the diagram indicates below (the plane is aimed at point C while it's located at point A initially).

------------

Triangle ABC has the horizontal component AB = 200 km, since we're told that the plane is 200 km west of its starting point (and some unknown distance north of the starting point).

We use the cosine ratio to help determine the hypotenuse length AC

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(A) = AB/AC

cos(25) = 200/x

x*cos(25) = 200

x = 200/cos(25)

x = 220.675583792499 which is approximate.

x = 221

I'm rounding to the nearest whole number since every other value given to you is a whole number. Round as your teacher instructs.

This means the plane is roughly 221 km away from its starting point. In other words, side AC is about 221 km long.

From vertical angles, we also know that:

This is all we can gather from the given image. Knowing only three pairs of angles cannot prove congruence, as proving congruence requires at least one side.

Congruence cannot be determined.

Answer:

Cannot be determined

Step-by-step explanation:

With BL and AC being parallel, we can deduce that the two triangles in question share all three of their angles. However, there is no information given that implies any of the sides are equal. AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle) is a proof of similarity, but not congruence, therefore the two triangles cannot be determined to be congruent.

The sum of the first eight terms in a Geometric Series is 19680 and the sum of the first four terms is 240. A) Find the first term. B) Find the common ratio. C) Justify your answers by showing steps that demonstrates your answers generate S8=19680 and S4=240.

Answers

Answer:

First Term = 6

Common Ratio = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given, The sum of the first eight terms in a Geometric Series is 19680 and the sum of the first four terms is 240 .

Thus, [tex]S_{8} = 19680[/tex] & [tex]S_{4} = 240[/tex] .

The Sum of n-term of Geometric Mean is [tex]S_{n} = \frac{a(r^{n-1)} }{r-1}[/tex] Where, r>1 , a=First term of G.P & r=common Ratio .

Now, on solving  [tex]\frac{S_{8} }{S_{4} }[/tex]  we get,

[tex]\frac{19680}{240} = \frac{\frac{a(r^{8-1)} }{r-1}}{\frac{a(r^{4-1)} }{r-1}}[/tex]  

[tex]82 = \frac{r^{8}-1 }{r^{4}-1 }[/tex]

[tex]82r^{4}-82 = r^{8}-1\\r^{8}-82r^{4}+81 = 0\\r^{8}-81r^{4}-r^{4}+81 = 0\\(r^{4}-81)( r^{4}-1) =0[/tex](r=1 is not possible so neglect [tex]( r^{4}-1) =0[/tex] )

So, r=3 Now Put this value in [tex]S_{4} = {\frac{a(r^{4-1)} }{r-1}}[/tex] We get a=6 .
