Given:

C is the circumcenter of ΔPQR

PC = 3x + 7

RC = 5x - 15

QC = 51 - x

To find:

Solution:

All vertices or a triangle are equidistant from its circumcenter.

$P C=R C=Q C$

Let us take $R C=Q C$ .

$5 x-15=51-x$

Add 15 on both sides.

$5 x-15+15=51-x+15$

$5 x=66-x$

Add x on both sides.

$5 x+x=66-x+x$

$6 x=66$

Divide by 6 on both sides, we get

x = 11

Substitute x = 11 in QC.

QC = 51 - 11

= 40

Therefore QC = 40.

Please help or i am grounded

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$x=140$

Step-by-step explanation:

Do not get grounded.

An angle at a point is 360°.

So, $x+120+70+30=360$

$x+220=360$

$x=140$

What is the inverse function of f(x) = 19/x^3

erica [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Replace f(x) with y: y = 19/x^3

2) Interchange x and y: x = 19/y^3

3) Solve this result for y: xy^3 = 19, or y^3 = 19/x, or

y = ∛[19/x]

-1

4. Replace this y with the label f (x) = ∛[19/x]

If 2^n + 1 is an odd prime for some integer n, prove that n is a power of 2. (H

vovikov84 [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

We will prove by contradiction. Assume that $2^n + 1$ is an odd prime but n is not a power of 2. Then, there exists an odd prime number p such that $p\mid n$ . Then, for some integer $k\geq 1$ ,

$n=p\times k.$

Therefore

$2^n + 1=2^{p\times k} + 1=(2^{k})^p + 1^p.$

Here we will use the formula for the sum of odd powers, which states that, for $a,b\in \mathbb{R}$ and an odd positive number $n$ ,

$a^n+b^n=(a+b)(a^{n-1}-a^{n-2}b+a^{n-3}b^2-...+b^{n-1})$

Applying this formula in 1) we obtain that

$2^n + 1=2^{p\times k} + 1=(2^{k})^p + 1^p=(2^k+1)(2^{k(p-1)}-2^{k(p-2)}+...-2^{k}+1)$ .

Then, as $2^k+1>1$ we have that $2^n+1$ is not a prime number, which is a contradiction.

In conclusion, if $2^n+1$ is an odd prime, then n must be a power of 2.
