Answer:

Sh. 9000

Step-by-step explanation:

John : Peter = 2 : 1

John/peter = 2/1

John = 2 Peter.... (1)

Amos : John = 4:3

Amos/John = 4/3

Amos = 4/3 John.. (2)

From (1) & (2)

Amos = 4/3 * 2 Peter = 8/3 Peter.... (3)

Since,

Amos + John + Peter = 51000

Therefore,

8/3 Peter + 2peter + Peter = 51000

(8+6+3)/3 *Peter = 51000

17/3 * Peter = 51000

Peter = 51000 * 3/17

Peter = 3000 * 3

Peter = 9000

Hence, amount received by Peter is Sh. 9000.

Part A Prove that when x > 1, a triangle with side lengths a = x2 − 1, b = 2x, and c = x2 + 1 is a right triangle. Use the Py

Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A triangle with side lengths $a = x^2-1, b = 2x, \text{ and } c = x^2 + 1$

To find : Prove that when x > 1, it is a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem and the given side lengths to create an equation. Use the equation to show that this triangle follows the rule describing right triangles. Explain your steps ?

Solution :

For right triangle the Pythagorean theorem is to be satisfied.

i.e. $c^2=a^2+b^2$

Here, $a = x^2-1, b = 2x, \text{ and } c = x^2 + 1$

Substitute the values,

$(x^2+1)^2=(x^2-1)^2+(2x)^2$

$x^4+1+2x^2=x^4+1-2x^2+4x^2$

$x^4+1+2x^2=x^4+1+2x^2$

LHS=RHS

It is a right triangle.

Which of the following could be the system of nonlinear inequalities graphed below?

Ivan

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

The equation of the solid line is

$y=5$

The solution is the shaded area above the solid line

The equation of the first inequality is

$y\geq 5$

step 2

The equation of the dashed line is

$y=x^{2} -5x+6$

The solution is the shaded area above the dashed line

The equation of the second inequality is

$y>x^{2} -5x+6$

therefore

The system of inequalities could be

$y\geq 5$

$y>x^{2} -5x+6$

What method most efficient to use to solve x^2+4x+3=0

Alik [6]

My recommendation would be to factor..
x² + 4x + 3 = 0 factor the left side into two binomials
(x + 3)(x + 1) = 0 set each of these binomials equal to zero and solve

x + 3 = 0 Implies x = -3
x + 1 = 0 implies x = -1
