Find the length of y. assume the triangles are similar

Mathematics

Talja [164]3 years ago

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

If the triangles are similar, the ratio between all of the sides is the same.

We see that to get the 4.2 in the big triangle to the 2.4 in the smaller triangle, we must divide by 1.75 (we get this from 4.2/2.4=1.75). So, if the ratio between all the sides is the same in both triangles, we can divide 6.3 by 1.75 to get y.

6.3/1.75=3.6

Therefore, the length of y is B. 3.6.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

3.6 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

2.4             y

----------- = ------------

4.2              6.3

Using cross products

2.4 * 6.3 = 4.2 y

15.12=4.2y

Divide by 4.2

15.12/4.2 = 4.2y/4.2

3.6 = y

When does the value of f(x) = (1/2)x equal the value of g(x) =2x+8 ?
Zanzabum

Answer:

\huge\boxed{f=g(x)\ \text{for}\ x=-\dfrac{16}{3}=-5\dfrac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

When does the value of f(x) = (1/2)x equal the value of g(x) =2x+8?

f(x)=g(x)\iff\dfrac{1}{2}x=2x+8\qquad|\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from bpoth sides}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}x-2x=2x-2x+8\\\\-1\dfrac{1}{2}x=8\qquad|\text{convert the mixed number to the improper fraction}\\\\-\dfrac{2\cdot1+1}{2}x=8\\\\-\dfrac{3}{2}x=8\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ -\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\left(-\dfrac{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}\right)\left(-\dfrac{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}x\right)=\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\cdot8\\\\x=-\dfrac{2\cdot8}{3}\\\\x=-\dfrac{16}{3}

F(x) = 16ˣ

A. g(x) = 8(2ˣ)
    g(x) = (2³)(2ˣ)
    g(x) = 2ˣ⁺³
The answer is not A.

B. g(x) = 4096(16ˣ⁻³)
    g(x) = (16³)(16ˣ⁻³)
    g(x) = 16ˣ
The answer is B.

C. g(x) = 4(4ˣ)
     g(x) = 4ˣ⁺¹
The answer is not C.

D. g(x) = 0.0625(16ˣ⁺¹)
     g(x) = (16⁻¹)(16ˣ⁺¹)
     g(x) = 16ˣ
The answer is D.

E. g(x) = 32(16ˣ⁻²)
    g(x) = (2⁵)(2⁴ˣ⁻⁸)
    g(x) = 2(⁴ˣ⁻³)
The answer is not E.

F. g(x) = 2(8ˣ)
    g(x) = 2(2³ˣ)
    g(x) = 2³ˣ⁺¹
The answer is not F.

The answer is B and D.

A standard showerhead in Nathan's house dispenses 11 gallons of water per minute. Nathan changed this showerhead to an energy-sa
Fynjy0 [20]
The new shower head dispenses 3 gallons of water per minute, as shown in the equation y = 3x.

So, 3 x 8 = 24.

Then, to find out how much he saves each day, you would find how much he used before,

11 x 8 = 88

Next we want to see how much Nathan saved, so we subtract the total,

88 - 24 = 64

Nathan saved 64 gallons.
