Answer:

40 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider ∆ADC

Perimeter = 26cm (Given)

★ Perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three sides.

=> AD + DC + AC = 26

Now, from the figure we can see that side AD = DC

Hence we can also write

=> AD + AD + AC = 26

=> 2AD + AC = 26

=> AC = 26 - 2AD ——— ‘1’

Consider ∆ ABC,

Let us consider it's perimeter to be ‘x’.

=> AB + AC + BC = x

Here also we can make out from the figure that side AB = BC

=> AB + AB + AC = x

=> 2AB + AC = x

From ‘1’ substituting AC value, we get

=> 2AB + ( 26 - 2AD ) = x

=> 2AB - 2AD + 26 = x

=> 2( AB - AD ) + 26 = x

=> 2 (7) + 26 = x ( Given )

Therefore perimeter of the ∆ABC (x) = 40

7x -7/2 y = -49
7/2 y = 7x + 49
y = 2x + 14
y - intercept = 14
x - intercept : 2x + 14 = 0 so x = -7

answer is C.
x - intercept : -7
y - intercept : 14

A number cube was rolled 60 times. the cube is numbered 1-6.how many times would you expect an even number to be rolled?

Anni [7]

You would expect an even number to be rolled 1/2 of the time as there are 3 evens and 3 odds

1/2 of 60 is 30

so you expect an even number to be rolled 30 times

Solve the equation 2 sec² x = 3 - tan x for the domain 0° ≤ x ≤ 360°

vodka [1.7K]

$2 \sec^2 x = 3- \tan x \\\\\implies 2(1 +\tan^2 x) = 3- \tan x \\\\\implies 2 + 2 \tan^2 x +\tan x -3 =0\\\\\implies 2 \tan^2 x + \tan x -1 =0\\\\\implies 2u^2 + u -1 =0~~~ ;[\text{set} \tan x = u]\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{-1\pm \sqrt{1-4\cdot 2 \cdot (-1)}}{2(2)}\\\\\implies u =\dfrac{-1 \pm\sqrt{9}}{4}\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{-1 \pm 3}{4}\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac 12~~ \text{or} ~~u =\dfrac{-4}{4} =-1\\\\$

$\implies \tan x = \dfrac 12 ~~ \text{or} ~~ \tan x =-1~~~ ;[\text{Substitute back u =tan x}]\\\\\text{Now,}~ \\\\\tan x = -1,\\\\\implies x = n\pi - \dfrac{\pi}4\\\\\\\text{For interval,}~ [0,2\pi) \\\\x = \dfrac{3\pi}4, \dfrac{7\pi}4\\\\\text{In degrees,}~ x = 135^{\circ}, x =315^{\circ}\\\\\tan x = \dfrac 12\\\\\implies x = n\pi + \tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right)\\\\\text{For interval} ~[0,2\pi),\\\\$

$x=\tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right), \left[\pi +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]\\\\\text{in degrees,} ~~x=\tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right), \left[180^{\circ} +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]\\\\\\\\\text{Combine all solutions:}\\\\x=\dfrac{3\pi}4, \dfrac{7\pi}4, \tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right), \left[\pi +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]\\\\\\$

$\text{In degrees,}~ x = 135^{\circ},~315^{\circ},~\tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right), \left[180^{\circ} +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]$
