Jamal drew angle bisector AD with D on the line segment BC. If BD=3, DC=9 and AB+AC=28 find AB and AC.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  AB = 7

  AC = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Because AD is an angle bisector it divides the triangle into proportional parts. That is ...

  AC/DC = AB/BD

  (28 -AB)/9 = AB/3 . . . . use AC = 28 -AB

  28 -AB = 3AB . . . . . . . . multiply by 9

  28 = 4AB . . . . . . . . add AB

  AB = 28/4 = 7 . . . . divide by 4

  AC = 28 -7 = 21

The lengths AB and AC are 7 and 21, respectively.

_____

Additional comment

The triangle ABC cannot exist. The reason is that its side measures are 7, 12, and 21. The sum of 7 and 12 is not greater than 21, so the side measures do not satisfy the triangle inequality.

For the triangle to exist, the sum of AB and AC cannot exceed 24 for the given values of BD and DC.

Given f(x)=2x²+2x-4, which is correct?
A) f(0)=0
B) f(-1)=4
C) f(b+1)=2b²+6b-4
D) f(a)=2a²+2a-4​

Answers

Answer:

Option D: f(a) = 2a²+2a-4 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

f(x)=2x²+2x-4

We will check the function at the given value;

A. f(0)

Putting x=0 in given function

f(0) = 2(0)²+2(0) - 4

f(0) = 0+0-4

f(0) = -4

B. f(-1)

Putting x=-1

f(-1) = 2(-1)²+2(-1)-4

f(-1) = 2(1) -2-4

f(-1) = 2-6

f(-1) = -4

C. f(b+1) = 2b²+6b-4

Putting x=b+1

f(b+1) = 2(b+1)²+2(b+1)-4

f(b+1) = 2(b²+2b+1)+2b+2-4

f(b+1) = 2b²+4b+2+2b+2-4

f(b+1) = 2b²+6b

D. f(a) = 2a²+2a-4

Putting x=a

f(a) = 2(a)²+2(a)-4

f(a) = 2a²+2a-4

Hence,

Option D: f(a) = 2a²+2a-4 is the correct answer.

Am I doing this right? The question is... At the first store Arlene visited, she spent 40% of her money plus $4. At the second store she spent 50% of her remaining money plus $5. At the third store Arlene spent 60% of her remaining money plus $6. When Arlene finished shopping at the three stores, she had $2 left over. How many dollars did she have when she started shopping?

My equation was x - 2 = ((0.4x+4)0.5+5)0.6+6. Both sides of the equation were to find how much she spent. I got 13.86363...

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the remaining money. If x represents the amount Arlene started with, then the remaining amounts are ...

  after first store: x -(0.4x +4) = 0.60x -4

After spending 50% of her money, the amount remaining will be 1-50% = 50%. Then spending 5 more dollars reduces the amount remaining by another 5.

  after second store: (0.60x -4)(0.50) -5 = 0.30x -2 -7 = 0.30x -7

After spending 60% of her money, the amount remaining will be 1-60% = 40%. Then spending 6 more dollars reduces the amount remaining by another 6.

  after third store: (0.30x -7)(0.40) -6 = 0.12x -2.80 -6 = 0.12x -8.80

This is reported to be $2, so we have ...

  0.12x -8.80 = 2

  0.12x = 10.80

  x = 90

Arlene started shopping with $90.

_____

Check

At the first store, Arlene spent 0.40×$90 +$4 = $40, so she had $90-40=$50 remaining.

At the second store, Arlene spent 0.50×$50 +$5 = $30, so she had $50-30=$20 remaining.

At the third store, Arlene spent 0.60×$20+$6 = $18, so she had $20-18 =$2 remaining.

A person standing close to the edge on top of a 32-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The quadratic function h(t)=−16t^2+124t+32 models the ball's height about the ground, h(t), in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. a) What is the maximum height of the ball? __feet b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground? ____ seconds

Answers

Answer:

a) The maximum height of the ball is 272.25 feet

b) The balls take 8 seconds to hit the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You know that the quadratic function h(t)=−16*t²+124*t+32 models the ball's height about the ground, h(t), in feet, t seconds after it was thrown.

Being a quadratic function of the form:

f (x) = a*x² + b*x + c

The vertex of a quadratic or parabola equation is the highest or lowest point on the graph corresponding to that function. When a> 0, the vertex of the parabola is at the bottom of it and indicates the minimum of the function. When a <0 the vertex is at the top and indicates the maximum of the function.

The value of x at the vertex is calculated by the expression:

[tex]x=\frac{-b}{2*a}[/tex]

The value of y at the vertex is calculated by substituting the value of x at the vertex into the quadratic function.

In this case, being a=-16, b=124 and c=32  you get that the maximum time is:

[tex]x=\frac{-124}{2*(-16)}=3.875[/tex]

Then a maximum height of:

h(3.875)=−16*(3.875)²+124*3.875+32

h(3.875)= 272.25

The maximum height of the ball is 272.25 feet

b) When the ball hits the ground the height is zero. So h (t) = 0:

0=−16*t²+124*t+32

Applying the resolvent:

[tex]\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4*a*c} }{2*a} =\frac{-124+-\sqrt{124^{2} -4*(-16)*32} }{2*(-16)}[/tex]

you get:

[tex]\frac{-124+\sqrt{124^{2} -4*(-16)*32} }{2*(-16)} =-0.25[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-124-\sqrt{124^{2} -4*(-16)*32} }{2*(-16)} =8[/tex]

Since the time cannot be negative, the balls take 8 seconds to hit the ground.

I got this question on a math homework and I don't understand it, 5 5/8 cups of water fill 4 1/2 identical water bottles. How many cups fill each bottle?

Answers

Answer:

1-1/4 cups (1 and 1/4 cups) or 1.25 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer you need to take the total volume (5-5/8 cups) and divide it by the number of bottles you have:

5-5/8 divided by 4-1/2

There are two easy ways to do this: you can convert the mixed fractions into decimal form (A) or into improper fractions (B).

A)

First, convert to decimal form:

5-5/8 = 5.625 and 4-1/2 = 4.5

Then, you divide them:

5.625 / 4.5 = 1.25 (converted back to fraction form, if thats what you need, is 1-1/4)

B)

First, convert to mixed numbers:

5-5/8 = 45/8 and 4-1/2 =9/2

Then, you divide them:

45/8  /  9/2

When you divide fractions, you multiply by the inverse of the number you're dividing by (that means swapping the numerator and denominator):

45/8  *  2/9  =  90/72 (converted back to a mixed fraction, this equals 1-1/4)

Solve the system by elimination. {2x+y=13x−y=−4 A. (3, 7) B. (2, 6) C. (4, 8) D. no solution

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 13 → (1)

x - y = - 4 → (2)

Add the 2 equations term by term to eliminate the y- term, that is

3x = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

2(3) + y = 13

6 + y = 13 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

y = 7

solution is (3, 7 ) → A

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression :

__ ÷ 18 > 86

Let blank = y

y ÷ 18 > 36

y / 18 > 36

Multiply both sides by 18

Let x be the number of hours

The equation will be

[tex]5x>15\\\Rightarrow x>\dfrac{15}{5}\\\Rightarrow x>3[/tex]

So, she needs to work more than 3 hours in order to make more than $15.

The situation that represents [tex]5x>15[/tex] is the first one.

Let x be the additional number of cans

The inequality will be

[tex]x+5\geq15\\\Rightarrow x\geq 15-5\\\Rightarrow x\geq 10[/tex]

So, the additional number of cans to be bought is at least 10.

Let x be the number of comic books Clarice has.

[tex]x>15[/tex]

So, Clarice needs to have more than 15 comic books.

Let x be age of Elizabeth

The system of equations is x + y = 15 and 0.10x + 0.25y = 2.85. Then the number of dimes and quarters will be 6 and 9, respectively.

What is the solution to the equation?

The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

Madelyn has a total of 15 dimes and quartets in her piggy bank. The total amount of money in her piggy bank is $2.85.

Let 'x' be the number of dimes and 'y' be the number of quarters. Then the equations are given as,

0.10x + 0.25y = 2.85       ....1

x + y = 15                         ....2

From equations 1 and 2, then we have

0.10(15 - y) + 0.25y = 2.85

1.5 - 0.10y + 0.25y = 2.85

0.15y = 1.35

y = 9

Then the value of the variable 'x' is given as,

x + 9 = 15

x = 6

The system of equations is x + y = 15 and 0.10x + 0.25y = 2.85. Then the number of dimes and quarters will be 6 and 9, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial dimension of a sand castle is 54 inches by 77 inches. Mike decided to change the size, making it 112 inches by 38 inches.

He wanted to dug a moat around it.

The perimeter of moat with initial dimensions,

P = 2(54+77)

= 262 inches

The perimeter of moat with new dimensions,

P = 2(112+38)

= 300 inches

Difference in perimeter = 300 - 262

= 38 inches

Hence, the new dimension is 38 inches longer than the initial dimensions.
