Question 9

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alenkasestr [34]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

PX=4\\PY=4\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \angle PYZ=Q

\Rightarrow \angle XYP=90-\angle PYZ\\\angle XYP=90-\theta

In the \Delta PYZ

\tan\theta =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}=\frac{PZ}{PY}......(1)

In the \Delta YPX

\tan(90-\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}=\frac{PX}{PY}

\cot=\frac{PX}{PY}....(2)

eqn(1)\times eqn(2)

\tan\times\cot\theta=\frac{PZ}{PY}\times\frac{PX}{PY}\\\\1=\frac{PZ\times PX}{PY^2}\ \ (as\ tan\theta\ =\frac{1}{\cot\theta})\\\\PY^2=PZ\times PX\\PY^2=12PX.......(3)

Now in \Delta XYP

use Pythagorean theorem

XY^2=PY^2+PX^2\\8^2=PY^2+PX^2\ \ (as\ XY\ =8)\\PX^2+PY^2=64\\\\PY^2=12PX\ \ (eqn(3)\\\\\Rightarrow PX^2+12PX=64\\\\PX^2+12PX-64=0\\\\PX^2+16-4PX-64=0\\\\(PX+16)(PX-4)=0\\\\PX=4,\ -16

Length can not be negative

Hence PX=4

PY^2=12PX=12\times4=48\\\\PY=\sqrt{48}=4\sqrt{3}

Hence PX=4,\ PY=4\sqrt{3}

What is the slope of a line that passes through (-4,-13) and (19,11)
inysia [295]
The slope of the line is the gradient, which you can find through rise over run

m (gradient) = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

where (x1, y1) is the coordinate of the first point, and (x2, x2) is the coordinate of the second point

in your question: 
x1 = -4
x2 = 19
y1 = -13
y2 = 11

m = (-13 -11) / (-4 -19) = -24 / -23 = 24/23 or 1.04 (2d.p.)

hope that helps :)

ELEN [110]

Answer:.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5 would go on the outside

  and four would go on the inside. Because 5 can't go into 4 evenly, add a decimal and a 0 after the 4. now we have 40 divided by 5. the answer is 0.8

Find the values for a and b that would make the equality true.
Crank

Answer:

a = - 4, b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare the coefficients of like terms on the right side.

- 3(2x² + ax + b)

= - 6x² - 3ax - 3b

Comparing like terms with - 6x² + 12x - 15

x - term → - 3a = 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

                    a = - 4

constant term → - 3b = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

                               b = 5
