In Right Triangle ABC Shown Below, The Midpoint Of Hypotenuse AC Is Located At D And Segment BD Is Drawn.AB

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  diagonal AC is 20, so all half-diagonals are 10. BD is one such.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of hypotenuse AC is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

  AC² = AB² + BC²

  AC² = 12² +16² = 400

  AC = √400 = 20

The midpoint of AC is 10 units from A and from C.

Consider point E that finishes rectangle ABCE. Then diagonals BE and AC meet at their midpoints, D. The diagonals of a rectangle are the same length, so the four half-diagonals are congruent:

  AD = CD = ED = BD = 10

_____

Alternate solution

The "rise" from BC to D is half of AB, so is 6.

The "run" from AB to D is half of BC, so is 8.

The Pythagorean theorem tells you BD = √(6² +8²) = 10.

The sum of three numbers is 52. The difference of the largest and the smallest is 48, and the sum of the two smaller numbers is 11, Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

41,  -7,  18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = smallest number

b = second number

c = largest number

Then  a + b +c = 52       c - a = 48        a + b = 11

11 + c = 52

c = 41       41 - a = 48

                      -a = 6

                       a = -7                         -7 + b = 11

                                                                b = 18

Answer:

a=-7

b=18

c=41

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+c=52

c-a=48

a+b=11

11+48=59

a+59=52

a=-7

A taxi driver had 31 fares to and from the airport last Monday. The price for a ride to the airport is $4.50, and the price for a ride from the airport is $11. The driver collected a total of $289 for the day.

Answers

Answer:

(8,23)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=31

4.5x + 11y = 289

x = 31 -y

4.5(31 - y) + 11y = 289

139.5 - 4.5y + 11y = 289

6.5y = 149.5

y = 23

x = 31 - 23 = 8

The ordered pair, (x, y) = (8, 23).

What is an ordered pair?

An ordered pair exists as a composition of the x coordinate (abscissa) and the y coordinate (ordinate), containing two values noted in a fixed order within parentheses.

Given: A taxi driver had 31 fares to and from the airport last Monday. The price for a ride to the airport exists $4.50, and the price for a ride from the airport exists $11. The driver collected a total of $289 for the day.

x + y = 31........(1)

4.5x + 11y = 289 ........(2)

From (1), we get

x + y = 31

x = 31 - y

Substitute the value of x in (2), and we get

4.5x + 11y = 289

4.5(31 - y) + 11y = 289

Simplifying the above equation, we get

139.5 - 4.5y + 11y = 289

6.5y = 149.5

y = 23

substitute the value of y, in (1) then we get

x = 31 - y

x = 31 - 23 = 8

The value of x = 8 and y = 23.

Therefore, the ordered pair, (x, y) = (8, 23).

Complete question

A taxi driver had 31 fares to and from the airport last Monday. The price for a ride to the airport is $4.50, and the price for a ride from the airport is $11. The driver collected a total of $289 for the day. Let 2 represent the number of trips to the airport and y represent the number of trips from the airport. Write the ordered pair, (x, y) that represents the situation.

A caterpillar crawling in a straight line across a coordinate plane starts at point (-3,
-4) and ends at point (25, 38). Counting the start point and end point, how many
points with integer coordinates does the caterpillar touch?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

In vector form, the equation of point p on the line can be written as ...

  p = (-3, -4) +t(25 -(-3), 38 -(-4)) . . . . . for some scalar t

  p = (-3, -4) +t(28, 42)

  p = (-3, -4) +14t(2, 3)

where t takes on any value between 0 and 1.

If we let t = n/14 for some integer 0 ≤ n ≤ 14, then the coordinates of point p will be integers.

There are 15 values that n can have in the allowed range.

The caterpillar touches 15 points with integer coordinates.

Answer:

f(4) = -6, g(-3) = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(#) or g(#), plug the number into each x of the equation.

f(x) = -2x + 2

f(4) = -2(4) + 2

Simplify the parentheses by multiplying.

f(4) = -8 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Together, they cover 24 miles in 1.5 hours, so their total rate of speed is ...

  (24 mi)/(1.5 h) = 16 mi/h

If s is the rate of the slower jogger, then s+6 is the rate of the faster one. Their total speed is ...

  s + (s+6) = 16

  2s = 10 . . . . . . . subtract 6

  s = 5 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Which factor could be multiplied by the given function so that their product causes the graph of f(x) to decrease as x approaches negative infinity?

[tex]f(x)=(2x^2 + 5)(x - 7)[/tex]

Select all that apply.

• -3
• 0.2x
• 5x²
• [tex]-\frac{1}{2}(x + 8)[/tex]
• 4(2x - 7)

Answers

Answer:

5x²

-1/2( x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The dominant term is 2x^2 *x or 2x^3

We want to know what happens when x goes to negative ∞

2 ( -∞) ^3 → 2 * (-∞) → -∞

As long as we multiply by a positive number, we will still be approaching negative infinity ( or decreasing)

-3  is negative

.2x is negative when x approaches negative infinity

.5 x^2 = .5( -∞)^2 = 5 ( ∞) = ∞ which is positive

-1/2 x is the dominant term  = -1/2(- ∞) =   ∞ which is positive

4(2x) is the dominant term  = 8(- ∞) = - ∞ which is negative

Answer:

3rd and 4th Choices.

[tex]\displaystyle 5x^2\text{ and } -\frac{1}{2}(x+8)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]f(x)=(2x^2+5)(x-7)[/tex]

And we want to determine the factor(s) that we can multiply to the above function that will cause the graph of f to decrease as x approaches negative infinity.

We can see that the dominant term will be:

[tex]2x^2(x)=2x^3[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]2(-\infty)^3\Rightarrow -\infty[/tex]

It is already decreasing (shifting towards negative infinity) as x approaches negative infinity.

In order to preserve this, then, the factors must be positive as x approaches negative infinity.

The first factor is -3.

-3 is always negative, so it will make f increase.

The second factor is [tex]0.2x[/tex].

[tex]0.2(-\infty)\Rightarrow -\infty[/tex]

This will also make f increase.

The third factor is:

[tex]5(\infty)^2\Rightarrow \infty[/tex]

This is positive, so it will allow f to remain decreasing as x approaches negative infinity.

The fourth factor is:

[tex]\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2}(-\infty+8)\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{2}(-\infty)\Rightarrow \infty[/tex]

This is also positive, so it will also allow f to remain decreasing.

Lastly, the fifth factor is:

[tex]4(2(-\infty)-7)\Rightarrow 4(-\infty)\Rightarrow -\infty[/tex]

This is negative, so it will make f increasing.

Therefore, our answers are the third and fourth choices.

Maliki is building a ramp with a base of 4 feet and a vertical height of 2 feet. What is the length of the ramp?

Answers

Answer:

2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying Pythagoras (hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2 +(Height)^2

The length of the ramp is approximately 4.47 feet.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Pythagoras's theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

If the base of the ramp is 4 feet and the vertical height is 2 feet, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the ramp:

ramp length² = base² + height²

ramp length² = 4² + 2²

ramp length² = 16 + 4

ramp length² = 20

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

ramp length = √20

Simplifying the square root of 20, we get:

ramp length ≈ 4.47 feet

Therefore, the length of the ramp is approximately 4.47 feet.

Read the story "Memories Of A Memory" and answer the questions.Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.1.
