A triangle has side lengths 8, 7, 4. In a similar triangle the smallest side is represented by x + 5 and the longest side is represented by x - 3. What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

8/4 = (x+5)/(x-3)

cross-multiply:

8(x-3) = 4(x+5)

8x - 24 = 4x + 20

4x  = 44

x = 11

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X=11

The longest known is double than samallest known

2(x-3) = x+5

2x-6 = x+5

x= 11

                   11-3 = 8

                   11+5 = 16

Sides of the known triangle    8,7,4     (side 8 double than side 4)

Sides of the similar triangle       16,14,8   (side 16 double than side  8 )

Find the measure of minor arc KL.
(x - 1)
G
H (5x + 7)04

Answers

Answer:

m(minor arc KL) = 153°

Step-by-step explanation:

"Measure of intercepted arcs between two diameters are equal in measure"

By this property,

m(JK) = m(HL)

(7x - 1)° = (5x + 7)°

7x - 5x = 7 + 1

2x = 8

x = 4

Therefore, m(arc HL) = (5x + 7)

                                  = 5(4) + 7

                                  = 27°

Now measure of minor arc KL = m(arc KH) - m(arc HL)

                                                  = 180° - 27°

                                                  = 153°

Therefore, measure of minor arc KL is 153°

Suppose you buy a $10,000 bond at face value. The bond pays $450 annual interest. What is the yield on this bond? (Calculate to one decimal place)

HELP ASAP

Answers

Answer:

Yield on this bond = 4.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Face value of bond = $10,000

Annual interest receives from bond = $450

Find:

Yield on this bond

Computation:

Yield on bond = [Annual interest / Face value]100

Yield on this bond = [Annual interest receives from bond / Face value of bond]100

Yield on this bond = [450 / 10,000]100

Yield on this bond = [0.045]100

Yield on this bond = 4.5%

Answers

Answer:

19/24 option d is correct

Consider the system of quadratic equations
y = 3x^2 - 5x,
y = 2x^2 - x - c,
where c is a real number.

(a) For what value(s) of c will the system have exactly one solution (x,y)?

(b) For what value(s) of c will the system have more than one real solution?

(c) For what value(s) of c will the system have no real solutions?

Solutions to the quadratics are (x,y) pairs. Your answers will be in terms of c, but make sure you address both x and y for each part.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  c = 4

  (b)  c < 4

  (c)  c > 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The solutions to the system of equations can be found by substituting one expression for y into the other equation:

  3x^2 -5x = 2x^2 -x -c

  x^2 -4x +c = 0 . . . . . . . subtract the right side expression

The discriminant is

  d = b^2-4ac = (4)^2 -4(1)(c) = 16-4c.

The system will have exactly one solution when d = 0.

  16 -4c = 0

  4 -c = 0

__

(b) There will be more than one real solution when d > 0

  4 -c > 0

  c < 4 . . . . two real solutions

__

(c) There will be no real solutions when d < 0.

  4 -c < 0

  c > 4 . . . . no real solutions

_____

Additional comment

The question posed here simply asks for a value of c. It does not ask for the solutions (x, y). We can count them without knowing exactly what they are.

In the diagram below of triangle HJKHJK, LL is a midpoint of \overline{HJ}HJ and MM is a midpoint of \overline{JK}JK. If LM=71-9xLM=71−9x, and HK=23-xHK=23−x, what is the measure of LMLM?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since J is the midpoint of HK,  then HJ=JK   and 3x+5=9x-3  solve for x

6x=8   x=8/6=4/3     so HJ=3x+5=3(4/3)+5=9 = JK   HK=2(9)=18

the full segment HK is 18,  each half of it is 9 =HJ=JK

whats the solution

Answers

Answer:

x = 13/8

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x−1)(2)=11

Simplify both sides of the equation.

(4x−1)(2)=11

(4x)(2)+(−1)(2)=11 (Distribute)

8x+−2=118x+−2=11

8x−2=11

Add 2 to both sides.

8x−2+2=11+2

8x=13

Divide both sides by 8.

8x/8 = 13/8

which brings you to the answer of

x = 13/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: it’s all in the explanation!

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in the question, it states that she’s gunna have two tables for every six guests. You’re gonna need to find out how much people are going to be at ONE table, so two divided by six! And as you know, that equals three. For the first space, since it’s a odd number, you need to use the three instead of six since there’s gunna be one table by itself. So three times 5. The first space is gunna be 15 :). The second space is somewhat the same process. What times three equals 21? Seven! So for the second space, you’re gunna pit seven. For the third one, you do 8 times three, which equals 24. And for the last space, it’s 10, for three times ten :), hoped this helped!

An ecologist is examining whether the number of fish caught in a large river basin has changed since a fire burned some of the surrounding forested area and vegetation along the river. Data in the form of fishing reports was available for a five-year period before the fire. From a random sample of 195 fishing reports before the fire, the mean catch was 6.3 fish with a standard deviation of 1.6. In a random sample of 143 reports three years after the fire, the mean catch was 7.1 fish with a standard deviation of 2.1.

What value of x and y will make the polygon below a parallelogram?

Answer:

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

[tex]y =1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached figure

Required

x and y

If the attached is a parallelogram, then:

Either segment of a diagonal are equal; So, we have:

[tex]3x = 12[/tex]

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

In [tex]3x = 12[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]x = \frac{12}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = 4[/tex] in [tex]x + y = 5y[/tex]

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

Collect like terms

[tex]5y - y =4[/tex]

[tex]4y = 4[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]y = \frac{4}{4}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Not a linear relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached table

Required

Linear or not

To do this, we simply calculate the slope of the table at different intervals.

Slope (m) is calculated as:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

Let:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,0)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (0.5,7.2)[/tex]

So, the slope is:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{7.2 - 0}{0.5-0}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{7.2}{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]m = 14.4[/tex]

Let:

Let:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (1,10.7)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (2,12.2)[/tex]

So, the slope is:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{12.2 - 10.7}{2 - 1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{1.5}{1}[/tex]

[tex]m = 1.5\\[/tex]

See that the calculated slopes are not equal.

Hence, it is not linear
