<h3>Answer:  x > 2</h3>

Work Shown:

5x - 14x < - 18

-9x < - 18

x > -18/(-9)

x > 2

The inequality sign flips when dividing both sides by a negative number.

Here's another approach you could take.

5x - 14x < - 18

-9x < -18

0 < -18+9x

18 < 9x

9x > 18

x > 18/9

x > 2

It's a slightly longer pathway, but it avoids a sign flip when you divide both sides by the positive number 9.

The sign flip happens two steps earlier when going from 18 < 9x to 9x > 18. In other words, A < B is the same as B > A.

Asphere has a radius of 27 inches. A horizontal plane passes through the center of the sphere.
Westkost [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  circle of radius 27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Anywhere a plane cuts a sphere, the cross section is a circle. When the plane includes the center of the sphere, the circle has the same radius the sphere has.

The cross section is a circle of radius 27 inches.

Find the length of side x in the simplest radical form with a rational denominator.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use either angle, but I'm going to use the one on the bottom. So, in order to find x, we need to use tangent. One side we know is the adjacent, and the side we don't know is the opposite, therefore we need tangent. Here's the equation:

tan(45)=\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}

Obviously, we can't have a root in our denominator, so we need to get rid of it somehow. Here's how:

We multiply the denominator of the fraction by \sqrt{2}. \sqrt{2} multiplied by itself is simply 2. Try it! We also want to multiply the numerator by \sqrt{2}, but there isn't really a number we can use with that, so we'll just add it to the side. The equation you have now is:

tan(45)=\frac{x\sqrt{2} }{2}

Let's try to work this out now. Since the denominator is 2, we have to multiply both sides by it to find x.

\frac{x\sqrt{2} }{2*2} =x\sqrt{2}

tan(45)*2=2

We can plug 2 in for the x in the numerator now:

\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{2}

2 and 2 cancel out, so you get 1 in both the numerator and denominator. That's how we get our answer of x=\sqrt{2}

Also, because this is a 45-45-90 triangle, you don't really have to do all that work. If it's a 45-45-90 triangle, both legs should be the same length. :)

You have 350 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular plot that borders on a river. If you do not fence the side along the river
IrinaVladis [17]

The length and width that will maximize the area are 175 ft and 87.5 ft respectively

The largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²

<h3>Area of a rectangle</h3>
  • area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

The fencing is 350 ft it is use to enclose a rectangular plot with a river occupying one part.

Therefore,

perimeter = l + 2w

350 = l + 2w

l = 350 - 2w

area = (350 - 2w)w

(350 - 2w)w = 0

where

w = 0 or 175

average = 175/2 = 87.5

Hence, the max area is at w = 87.5 ft

Therefore,

l = 350 - 2(87.5) = 175 ft

length = 175 ft

width =  87.5 ft

Therefore,

area = 175 × 87.5 = 15312.5 ft²

Therefore, the largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²
