What is the value of x Triangle with sides 10 6 x-6

Mathematics
1 answer:
Grace [21]4 years ago
5 0
Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 4) and (2, - 1)?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

slope = -1 or -x

Step-by-step explanation:

Do y2-y1/x2-x1

Plug in

-1 - 4/ 2 - -3 = -5/5

(Simplify)

-1 so the slope is

-1 or -x

If you want to find the equation use one of the points you have.

4 = -1(-3) + b

4 = 3 + b (subtract 3 on each side)

1 = b

y = -1x + 1 is the equation

You owe $300 on your credit card. For every month that you fail to make a payment, your balance increases by 1%. Find a formula
Vlada [557]

Answer:

B(t) = 300(1.01)^{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

The balance owed after t months can be given by an exponential function in the following format:

B(t) = B(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which B(0) is the initial balance owed and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

You owe $300 on your credit card. For every month that you fail to make a payment, your balance increases by 1%.

This means, respectively, that B(0) = 300, r = 0.01

So

B(t) = 300(1+0.01)^{t}

B(t) = 300(1.01)^{t}

4. A solution of 60% fertilizer is to be mixed with a solution of 21% fertilizer to form 234 liters of a 43% solution. How many
solniwko [45]

Given:

A solution of 60% fertilizer is to be mixed with a solution of 21% fertilizer to form 234 liters of a 43% solution.

To find:

The quantity of the 60% solution in the mixture.

Solution:

Let x be the quantity of the 60% solution and y be the quantity of the 21% solution.

Quantity of mixture is 234. So,

x+y=234

x=234-y                  ...(i)

The mixture has 43% fertilizer. So,

\dfrac{60}{100}x+\dfrac{21}{100}y=\dfrac{43}{100}\times 234

Multiply both sides by 100.

60x+21y=10062            ...(ii)

Using (i) and (ii), we get

60(234-y)+21y=10062

14040-60y+21y=10062

-39y=10062-14040

-39y=-3978

Divide both sides by -39.

\dfrac{-39y}{-39}=\dfrac{-3978}{-39}

y=102

Putting this value in (i), we get

x=234-102

x=132

Therefore, 132 liters of the 60% solution must be used.

If the polynomial p(x) is divided by x-5, and the remainder is 193, then p(5)=193 TRUE OR FALSE
RideAnS [48]

Answer: FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

False. If the remainder is 193, then the value of the function wouldnt be equal to the remainder. That makes no sense at all. The remainder over x-5 would actually be added onto the real answer
