Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

» <u>Solution</u>

Step 1: Distribute -5 to the terms inside the parantheses.

$(-5)(x)+(-5)(-6)=60$
$-5x+30=60$

Step 2: Subtract 30 from both sides.

$-5x+30-30=60-30$
$-5x=30$

Step 3: Divide both sides by -5.

$-5x/-5=30/-5$
$x=-6$

Therefore, x = -6.

Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -3x^2 + 2x-17

This is in the form

ax^2 +bx+c

a = -3 b = 2 c = -17

The axis of symmetry is at

x = -b/2a

x = -2/ (2*-3)

x = -2/-6

x = 1/3

Right triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ. If the length of side AB is 20.8 units, the length of side BC is 36.4 units, and

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

XY is 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Right triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ.

AB = 20.8 units

BC = 36.4 units

YZ = 7 units

We have to find the length of side XY.

Since the given triangles are similar, they have the following property:

The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

We can write,

$\displaystyle\frac{AB}{XY}=\frac{BC}{YZ}=\frac{AC}{XZ}$

Putting the given values, we have,

$\displaystyle\frac{AB}{XY}=\frac{BC}{YZ}\\\\\frac{20.8}{XY}=\frac{36.4}{7}\\\\XY = \frac{20.8\times 7}{36.4} =4 \text{ units}$

Thus, the length of XY is 4 units.

<span>In a 30-60-90 triangle the side opposite the 30 degree angle is half the length of the hypotenuse.
The short leg is </span>the side opposite the 30 degree angle. If the short leg =x, then the hypotenuse = 2x

The ratio of the short leg to the hypotenuse in the given triangle is cos(60°)

$
cos(60^o) = \frac{adjacent \ side}{hypotenuse } = \frac{x}{2x} = \frac{1}{2}$

Answer is C. 1:2
