Using the Pythagorean theorem, if the hypotenuse is 17 feet long, and side a is 15 feet long. What is the missing length of side b?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The missing side is 8 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras theorem "It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides"

mathematically it is stated as

[tex]c^2= a^2+b^2\\\\c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]

Given that

c, hypotenuse= 17 ft

a = 15 ft

b= ?

Applying the Pythagoras theorem formula by inserting our given parameters and solving for b we have

[tex]17^2= 15^2+b^2[/tex]

Making b subject of formula we have

[tex]b^2= 17^2-15^2\\\\b^2= 289-225\\\\b^2= 64\\\\[/tex]

Square root both sides we have

[tex]b= \sqrt{64} \\\\b= 8[/tex]

Hence the missing side is 8 ft long

Evaluate the function. f(x) = -x2 - 6x + 12 Find f(4)​

Answers

Answer:

f( 4 ) = - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = - x² - 6x + 12

To find f(4) substitute the value of x that's 4 into the expression above and solve.

That's

f( 4) = - (4)² - 6(4) + 12

= - 16 - 24 + 12

= - 40 + 12

We have the final answer as

f(4) = - 28

What is the equation of the quadratic function represented by this graph

Answers

Answer:

              f(x) = - x² + 2x + 8or           f(x) = - (x - 1)² + 9   or           f(x) = - (x + 2)(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(0) = 8       {y-axis intercept = (0, 8)}

Vertex = (1, 9)

f(x) = a(x - 1)² + 9

8 = a(0-1)² + 9

8 = a + 9

a = -1

f(x) = - (x - 1)² + 9

f(x) = - (x² - 2x + 1) + 9

f(x) = - x² + 2x - 1 + 9

f(x) = - x² + 2x + 8

x₁ = -2  and x₂ = 4, so also:

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

Answer:

g(x) = -1 (x + 2)(x − 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of the function in factored form, g(x) = a(x − r1)(x − r2), find the values of r1, r2, and a.

The function has x-intercepts of -2 and 4, so (x − (-2)), or (x + 2), and (x − 4) are factors of the equation.

To find a, look at how the value of y changes for 1 unit to the right of the vertex. The y-value goes down 1 unit for a point 1 unit to the right of the vertex, so a = -1.

The equation of this quadratic function is g(x) = -(x + 2)(x − 4).

Answers

(ignore this answer, i cant delete it srry..)

Answer:

It takes them 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that x is the amount of work in one hour that zina does

so the amount of work that rachel does in the same hour is 1/3x, because 3 times slower

so we have

x+1/3x=100%

what does that mean?

it means the amount of hours taken to complete a skycraper

so we solve for x

x=75%

so we need to figure out how much hours does zina takes to complete 75% of the skycraper

1 hour ----- 100%

x hours ---- 75%

1 hour *75%/100%=x hours

1 hour (3/4)=x hours

60 minutes (3/4)= x minutes

x=45 minutes

Answers

Answer:

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 4x² +x⁵ +10x³ +5x+8x⁴

Required

Determine the y intercept

The y intercept of a function is a point where x = 0

So, we have to substitute 0 for x in the above function

f(x) = 4x² +x⁵ +10x³ +5x+8x⁴ becomes

f(0) = 4(0)² +(0)⁵ +10(0)³ +5(0)+8(0)⁴

f(0) = 4 * 0 + 0 + 10 * 0 + 5 * 0 + 8 * 0

f(0) = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0

f(0) = 0

Substitute y for f(0)

y = 0

Hence, the y intercept is 0

2.33333... where the 3s go on forever is the same as 2 + 1/3 or 2 & 1/3

So we really have 3 & 2/3 added onto 2 & 1/3

The fractional portions add to 2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1, which will carry over.

The whole number portions add to 3+2 = 5, and we add on the carry of 1 to get 5+1 = 6

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

Using your calculator

3 & 2/3 = 3 + 2/3 = 3 + 0.667 = 3.667 approximately

adding this onto 2.333 leads to

3.667 + 2.333 = 6

Technically the 6's go on forever in the decimal form of 3 & 2/3, but rounding wont have an effect on the answer when we add

The sum of the given fraction is 6. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Given that, 3 2/3 + 2.3333....

Imagine that you stop at a nearby coffee chain and purchase a $5 coffee every morning on your way to work. You do this 5 days a week for 50 weeks out of the year. While it may seem like a small expense each day, this habit can add up and affect your personal finances. How much would this habit cost you over the next five years

Answers

Answer:

$6250

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

First, we find out how much you spend a week.

Since you buy a $5 coffee 5 days a week we multiply the price for a coffee by 5.

5 * 5 = 25.

Next, we find out how much you spend a year.

Since you do it 50 weeks a year we multiply the amount you spend a week by 50

25 * 50 = 1250

Then, we find out how much you spend in 5 years.

We multiply the cost a year by the amount of years

1250 * 5 = 6250

The answer is $6250

(i) F = 25 N

(ii) F = 35.36 N

(iii) F = 43.3 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that the component of force acting along the incline surface is given by the relation

Force, acting parallel to the incline plane, [tex]F_p[/tex] = M×g×sin(θ)

Given that the weight of the body is given as 50 N, we have;

M×g = 50 N

Therefore we have;

(i) For the plane with angle of elevation = 30°

[tex]F_p[/tex] = M×g×sin(θ) = 50 × sin(30°) = 25 N

The force  [tex]F_p[/tex]  = F = 25 N

F = 25 N

(ii) For the plane with angle of elevation = 45°

[tex]F_p[/tex] = M×g×sin(θ) = 50 × sin(45°) = 50 × (√2)/2 = 25·√2 N

[tex]F_p[/tex] = F = 25×√2 N = 35.36 N

F = 35.36 N

(iii) For the plane with angle of elevation = 60°

[tex]F_p[/tex] = M×g×sin(θ) = 50 × sin(60°) = 50 × (√3)/2 = 25·√3 N

[tex]F_p[/tex] = F = 25×√3 N = 43.3 N

F = 43.3 N.

289 and y more is 206

Answers

Answer:  

Equation translates to 289 + y = 206

it solves to y = -83

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

Explanation:

The "and y more" means we are adding y onto 289 to get the expression 289+y. This is set equal to 206 because of the term "is" in the original statement.

Therefore, "289 and y more is 206" translates fully to the equation 289+y = 206

This is the same as saying y+289 = 206

To isolate y, we undo what is happening to it. We are adding 289 to it, so we must subtract 289 from both sides

y+289 = 206

y+289-289 = 206-289

y = -83

So we are adding -83 to 289 to get 206

The correct answer is therefore (a + 8)

First, x² + y² = a can be rewritten completing the square method as;

(x+y) (x+y) = a + 2xy

when we expand the expression above; we have;

x² + 2xy + y² = a + 2xy

since, 2xy is present on both sides of the equation;

we still get the expression; x² + y² = a

Therefore, (x+y)² = a + 2xy

we can then substitute the value 4 for xy in the equation above;

Thus, since xy = 4, therefore 2xy = 8

Consequently, (x+y)² = a + 8

The correct answer is therefore (a + 8)

Answer:

33.05°

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram above is a right angled triangle.

To solve for this question, we would be making use of the trigonometric function of Sine

sin θ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse

From the above diagram,

Opposite side = 162.5 yards

Hypotenuse = 298 yards

θ = unknown

sin θ = 162.5 yards/298 yards

sin θ = 0.5453020134

θ = arc sin(0.5453020134)

θ = 33.045304587°

Approximately

θ = 33.05°
