Melody picks a number. She triples the number, squares the result, divides the square by 2, subtracts 30 from the quotient, and

gets 42. What are the possible numbers that Melody could have picked?

The possible numbers that Melody could have picked are -4 and 4.

The operation that prevents us from knowing with 100% certainty the number Melody had picked is multiplication which is implied by the phrase "double the number".

Given, Let x be the number Melody had chosen.

Thus, tripling the number will give 3x, and

squaring this will result to (3x)² which is equals to 9x².

Dividing the square of the number by 2 and subtracting 30 from its quotient will give 42:

9x²/2 ₋ 30 = 42

9x²/2 = 42 ₊ 30

9x²/2 = 72

9x² = 72 × 2

9x² = 144

x² = 144/9

x² = 16

x = ±√16

x = ±4

x = ₊4 or x = 4

hence melody could have picked ₊4 or ₋4 numbers.

Answer:

16) The area of the circle is 25.1 units²

17) JKLM is a parallelogram but not a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

16) Lets talk about the area of the circle

- To find the area of the circle you must find the length of the radius

- In the problem you have the center of the circle and a point on

 the circle, so you can find the length of the radius by using the

 distance rule

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The center of the circle is (1 , 3)

∵ The point on the circle is (3 , 5)

- Using the rule of the distance between two points

* Lets revise it

- The distance between the two points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) is:

 Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

∴ r = √[(3 - 1)² + (5 - 3)²] = √[4 + 4] = √8 = 2√2 units

∵ The area of the circle = πr²

∴ The area of the circle = π (2√2)² = 8π = 25.1 units²

* The area of the circle is 25.1 units²

17) To prove a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, prove that every

     to sides are parallel or equal or the two diagonal bisect

     each other

* The parallelogram can be rectangle if two adjacent sides are

  perpendicular to each other (measure of angle between them is 90°)

 or its diagonals are equal in length

- The parallel lines have equal slopes, then to prove the

  quadrilateral is a parallelogram, we will find the slopes of

  each opposite sides

* Lets find from the graph the vertices of the quadrilateral

∵ J = (0 ,2) , K (2 , 5) , L (5 , 0) , M (3 , -3)

- The opposite sides are JK , ML and JM , KL

- The slope of any line passing through point (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) is

 m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

∵ The slop of JK = (5 - 2)/(2 - 0) = 3/2 ⇒ (1)

∵ The slope of LM = (-3 - 0)/(3 - 5)= -3/-2 = 3/2 ⇒ (2)

- From (1) and (2)

∴ JK // LM

∵ The slope of KL = (0 - 5)/(5 - 2) = -5/3 ⇒ (3)

∵ The slope of JM = (-3 - 2)/(3 - 0)= -5/3 ⇒ (4)

- From (3) and (4)

∴ KL // JM

∵ Each two opposite sides are parallel in the quadrilateral JKLM

∴ It is a parallelogram

- The product of the slopes of the perpendicular line is -1

* lets check the slopes of two adjacent sides in the JKLM

∵ The slope of JK = 3/2 and the slope of KL = -5/3

∵ 3/2 × -5/3 = -5/2 ≠ -1

∴ JKLM is a parallelogram but not a rectangle

In an older television set, the screen height is 0.75 times the screen width.
natima [27]
The television set has a rectangular shape. The diagonal of this rectangle along with its width and length together form a right angular triangle.
This means that we can apply the Pythagorean theorem which states that:
(diagonal)^2 = (length)^2 + (width)^2

Let the width be w. We know that the length is 0.75 times the width, this means that: length = 0.75 w

Substitute in the above equation:
(20)^2 = (0.75w)^2 + (w)^2
400 = 0.5625 w^2 + w^2
400 = 1.5625 w^2
w^2 = 256
w = 16

This means that the width of the screen is 16 in.
