64 POINT QUESTION √(5-2x) - √(2-x) = 1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 2 and x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way is to guess. We know that you can't have a square root of a negative number. This constrains x between negative infinity to 2. Testing 2 and -2, we see that it satisfy the equation.

The more systematic approach is shown below

\sqrt{5-2x}-\sqrt{2-x}=1 \\\sqrt{5-2x}-\sqrt{2-x}+\sqrt{2-x}=1+\sqrt{2-x} \\\sqrt{5-2x} = 1+\sqrt{2-x}

5-2x=(1+\sqrt{2-x})^2\\5-2x=1+2\sqrt{2-x}+2-x\\2-x=2\sqrt{2-x}\\1-0.5x=\sqrt{2-x}\\(1-0.5x)^2=2-x\\1-x+0.25x^2=2-x\\0.25x^2-1=0\\0.25x^2 = 1\\x^2 = 4\\x = +/-2

x= -2, 2

Which of the following sets of lengths can Sean use to make a right triangle?
love history [14]

If we know your Pythagorean Triples we can immediately recognize that the last choice is a right triangle:

8² + 15² = 17²

If you don't know your Pythagorean Triples, it's worth learning the first few off the list because teachers use them in problems all the time.  But for now let's just exhaustively check the Pythagorean Theorem for each triangle.  We don't have to multiply everything out; we can analyze the common factors.  If two have a common factor that the third one doesn't have, there's no way for the Pythagorean Theorem to add up.

Clearly 5²+15² is a multiple of 5 but 18² isn't so that one isn't a right triangle.

6²+12² is a multiple of 6, 16² isn't a multiple of 6, not an RT.

15²-5² is a multiple of 5, 13² isn't, no joy.

8²+15² = 64 + 225 = 289 = 17² -- that's a real right triangle, a valid Pythagorean Triple.

Solve for x.<br> 144°<br> 18 degrees<br> 30 degrees<br> 48 degrees<br> 120 degrees
disa [49]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>x = 18 °</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

you have a rotation angle of 360 °, take out the known values ​​(360 ° -90 ° -144 ° = 126), 144 ° is part of a flat angle of 180 °, from 180 ° remove 144 and you have 36 °, they are opposite angles therefore the same. therefore 360 ​​- 144 - 90 - 36 - 36 = 54.

54 is 3x, so x = 18 ° (54 : 3 = 18)
