Answer:

x = 5 $\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the outer right triangle

and tan30° = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$

tan30° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{x}{15}$

Multiply both sides by 15

15 × tan30° = x

x = 15 × $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$ = 5 $\sqrt{3}$

Which system of equations below has infinitely many solutions? y = –3x 4 and y = –3x – 4 y = –3x 4 and 3y = –9x 12 y = –3x 4 and

Flura [38]

the equations y = –3x + 4 and 3y = –9x + 12 have infinitely many solutions. option B is correct.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

It is a system of an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. A one-dimension figure that has no width. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.

Condition for the parallel lines.

L1, ax + bx + c = 0

L2, dx + ey + f = 0

If $\rm \dfrac{a}{d} = \dfrac{b}{e} = \dfrac{c}{f}$ then lines have infinitely many solutions.

<h3>Which system of equations below has infinitely many solutions?</h3>

y = –3x + 4 and 3y = –9x + 12

On comparing we have

a = -3 , b = 1, and c = 4

d = -9 , e = 3, and f = 12

Then their ratio will be

$\rm \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{-3}{-9} = \dfrac{4}{12}\\\\\rm \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1}{3}$

Hence y = –3x + 4 and 3y = –9x + 12 have infinitely many solutions.

Thus the option B is correct.

Find the vertex of the graph of the function.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: The correct options are (1) (5,10), (2) (3,-3), (3) x = -1, (4) $y=(x+2)^2+3$ , (5) 21s and (6) 0, -1, and 5.

Explanation:

Te standard form of the parabola is,

$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$ .....(1)

Where, (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

(1)

The given equation is,

$f(x)=(x-5)^2+10$

Comparing this equation with equation (1),we get,

$h=5$ and $k=10$

Therefore, the vertex of the graph is (5,10) and the fourth option is correct.

(2)

The given equation is,

$f(x)=3x^2-18x+24$

$f(x)=3(x^2-6x)+24$

To make perfect square add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ , i.e., $9$ . Since there is factor 3 outside the parentheses, so subtract three times of 9.

$f(x)=3(x^2-6x+9)+24-3\times 9$

$f(x)=3(x-3)^2-3$

Comparing this equation with equation (1),we get,

$h=3$ and $k=-3$

Therefore, the vertex of the graph is (3,-3) and the fourth option is correct.

(3)

The given equation is

$f(x)=4x^2+8x+7$

$f(x)=4(x^2+2x)+7$

To make perfect square add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ , i.e., $1$ . Since there is factor 4 outside the parentheses, so subtract three times of 1.

$f(x)=4(x^2+2x+1)+7-4$

$f(x)=4(x+1)^2+3$

Comparing this equation with equation (1),we get,

$h=-1$ and $k=3$

The vertex of the equation is (-1,3) so the axis is x=-1 and the correct option is 2.

(4)

The given equation is,

$y=x^2+4x+7$

To make perfect square add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ , i.e., $2^2$ .

$f(x)=x^2+4x+4+7-4$

$f(x)=(x+2)^2+3$

Therefore, the correct option is 4.

(5)

The given equation is,

$h=-16t^2+672t$

It can be written as,

$h=-16(t^2-42t)$

It is a downward parabola. so the maximum height of the function is on its vertex.

The x coordinate of the vertex is,

$x=\frac{b}{2a}$

$x=\frac{42}{2}$

$x=21$

Therefore, after 21 seconds the projectile reach its maximum height and the correct option is first.

(6)

The given equation is,

$f(x)=3x^3-12x^2-15x$

$f(x)=3x(x^2-4x-5)$

Use factoring method to find the factors of the equation.

$f(x)=3x(x^2-5x+x-5)$

$f(x)=3x(x(x-5)+1(x-5))$

$f(x)=3x(x-5)(x+1)$

Equate each factor equal to 0.

$x=0,-1,5$

Therefore, the zeros of the given equation is 0, -1, 5 and the correct option is 2.

66.21 was rounded to 2dp. what is the lower bound?

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

the answer is 66.205

Step-by-step explanation:

basically you look at the place value so

66.21 is basically the same as 66.210 then you look at the lowest number that can round UP to 66.210 which would be out of 1 to 9 would be 5 so the smallest number that can round up to 66.210 is 66.205 hope this helped :D

What is a tree diagram? can you make one?

liberstina [14]

DescriptionIn probability theory, a tree diagram may be used to represent a probability space. Tree diagrams may represent a series of independent events or conditional probabilities. Each node on the diagram represents an event and is associated with the probability of that event. You can make one.
