Answer: x = 5*sqrt(10)
"sqrt" stands for "square root"

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

Refer to the attached image. The figure is not to scale. Notice how I've added in y and z (blue and red respectively)
The length y is the bottom horizontal leg for the triangle on the right.
The length z is the bottom horizontal leg for the triangle on the left.

To find x, we need to find y first, which will help us find z, and then we can finally get to x.

Let's find y first
To do this, we use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
y^2 + 9^2 = 15^2
y^2 + 81 = 225
y^2 + 81-81 = 225-81
y^2 = 144
sqrt(y^2) = sqrt(144)
y = 12 ... keep in mind that y is a length, so it needs to be positive

Notice how the y and z lengths combine to form a total length of 25 units
Therefore,
y+z = 25
12+z = 25
12+z-12 = 25-12
z = 13

Now that we know z = 13, we can find x. Again we use the pythagorean theorem one last time
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
z^2 + 9^2 = x^2
13^2 + 9^2 = x^2
169 + 81 = x^2
250 = x^2
x^2 = 250
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(250)
x = sqrt(250)
x = sqrt(25*10)
x = sqrt(25)*sqrt(10)
x = 5*sqrt(10)
This is in simplest radical form as we can't factor 10 any further (there are no perfect square factors that go into 10). This is the exact length of side x

Note: using a calculator, 5*sqrt(10) = 15.8113883008419 approximately

Vector V is in standard position and makes an angle of 50° with the positive x-axis. Its magnitude is 18. Write V in component f
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

11.57 units east, 13.79 units upwards

11.57i + 13.79j

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 18 units at an angle of 50° to the positive x-axis

In component Form, this is how each component is calculated

a = 18cos50° = 11.57 units east

b = 18sin50° = 13.79 units upwards

check if your answer is correct

\sqrt{11.57^{2} +13.79^{2} } = 18.0

In vector component form ai + bj = 11.57i + 13.79j

Which graph is not a function ? Why isn’t it ?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Graph 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph two is not a function because it does not pass "the vertical line test", which is a method of determining if a graph is a function or not. To do this, we use our pen to check that for every x value there is only one y value. In graph two, however, this is not the case.

Which is a rational function?
Simora [160]

Answer:

..."one that can be written as a polynomial divided by a polynomial. Since polynomials are defined everywhere, the domain of a rational function is the set of all numbers except the zeros of the denominator."
