For this we will want to use the Pythagorean Theorem. Lets plug our values in.

5^2+4^2=c^2

Our first step is to find out our squared values. 

25+16=^2.

You will then want to combine like terms.

41=c^2

Since C has a square, we will want to get rid of the squared. The opposite of squaring something is taking the square root of something.

We will then want to take the square root of 41.
Your final answer will be

C= 6.4

You would use the Pythagorean threroem 4^2 + 5^2 = C^2. 16 + 25 = 41 the square root of 41 is 6.40

If C is the midpoint of EF, C has coordinate -8, F has coordinate 4, then find the coordinate of E
ycow [4]
<h3>Answer:    -20</h3>

==========================================================

Work Shown:

Let x be the location of E on the number line.

Since C is the midpoint of E and F, this means we can find C's location by adding E and F together and dividing that sum by 2

midpoint = (endpoint1 + endpoint2)/2

C = (E+F)/2

Plug in E = x, C = -8 and F = 4. Then solve for x

C = (E+F)/2

-8 = (x+4)/2

(x+4)/2 = -8

x+4 = 2(-8) .... multiplying both sides by 2

x+4 = -16

x = -16-4 .... subtract 4 from both sides

x = -20

The location of point E on the number line is -20

-------------

As a check, lets add E and F to get E+F = -20+4 = -16

Then cut this in half to get -16/2 = -8, which is the proper location of point C

This confirms our answer.

Problem number 26 of the Rhind Papyrus says: Find a quantity such that when it is added to StartFraction 1 Over 4 EndFraction of
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given situation , a quantity x is added to \frac{1}{4} x gives 15.

We can set up equation as

x+\frac{1}{4}x=15

Multiply each term by 4 on both sides to get rid the denominator.

It gives,

4 x+x=60

Now, combine like terms

5 x=60

Divide both sides by 5

x=12.

Can someone please help
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

She has 28056 before any deductions are taken off. As far as the IRS is concerned every penny she earns is fully accountable for the 4 categories that she has to pay into.

The problem with the question is you are not told what is wanted. Do they want the income before or after the deductions have been made or do they want the accountable sum (28056)? I don't really know. 28056 is one possible answer.

Total deductions

  • Federal Tax     3780.90
  • State Tax           770.98
  • Medicare            406.81
  • SSI                     <u>1739.47</u>
  • All Deductions  6698.16

 Income = 28056 - 6698.16 = 21357.84

I think the answer you want is 28056

One answer it is not is 4*28056 = 112224. The tax is far too low for that kind of income.

Radioactive Decay Beginning with 16 grams of a radioactive element whose half -life is 30 years ,the mass y(in grams) remaining
Flura [38]

Answer:

the equation should be corrected to fit the data of the problem.  With the corrected equation a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

Step-by-step explanation:

for the mass y( in grams)

y=23* (1/2)^(t/45), t ≥ 0.

the initial mass is at t=0 , then

y= 23 grams  → should be 16 grams

half-life from the equation = 45 years → should be 30 years

the correct equation should be

y=16*(1/2)^(t/30), t ≥ 0

then after 150 years  → t= 150

y=16*(1/2)^(150/30)= 16*(1/2)^5 = 16/32 = 0.5 grams

then a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years
