-1+5x≥-16 I dont know how to solve

Mathematics
1 answer:
olasank [31]1 year ago

Answer:  x \ge -3

Explanation:

Follow PEMDAS in reverse to undo what's happening to x.

We first add 1 to both sides, then divide both sides by 5 to fully isolate x.

Refer to the steps below to see what I mean.

-1 + 5x \ge -16\\\\5x \ge -16+1\\\\5x \ge -15\\\\x \ge -15/5\\\\x \ge -3\\\\

The inequality sign stays the same the entire time. The only time it flips is when you divide both sides by a negative number.

The solution set for x is anything -3 or larger.

If x was an integer, then we could say the solution set is {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}

Folding a rectangle along one diagonal results in a shape whose area is 2/3 that of the original
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

  • 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Refer to attached picture</em>

Given rectangle ABCD. Its folded shape is given as well.

It has sides a and b and diagonal d, with the angle BCD marked as α.

We need to find the value of angle AOC or BOD.

This is going to be 2α, which is easy to find out. BOD is cut by the angle bisector, each of the angles is α.

Let the area of the rectangle is A, then the folded shape has area 2/3A.

<u>The area of rectangle ABCD:</u>

  • A = ab

<u>From the triangle CBD we get:</u>

  • a/d = sin α ⇒ a = d sin α
  • b/d = cos α ⇒ b = d cos α

<u>Then</u>

  • A = d sin α * d cos α = d²sin α cos α

Now, lets find the area of the folded shape.

It is the area of the rectangle minus the area of the triangle CMB as this part  is lost as part of overlap.

<u>Area of the triangle:</u>

  • A = 1/2dh

<u>Since h/(d/2) = tan α ⇒ h = 1/2d tan α, the area is:</u>

  • A = 1/2d*1/2d tan α = 1/4d² tan α

<u>We have the difference of the areas which is 1/3 of the area of the rectangle:</u>

  • 1/3(d²sin α cos α) = 1/4d² tan α
  • sin α cos α = 3/4 tan α
  • sin α cos α = 3/4 sin α / cos α
  • cos² α = 3/4
  • cos α = √(3/4)
  • cos α = √3/2
  • α = arccos (√3/2)
  • α = 30°

<u>The acute angle formed by the two diagonals of the rectangle is:</u>

  • 2α = 2*30° = 60°
