Answer:
for #14, x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
in the graph, 6x = 5x +10 so if x was 10 it would be 60 = 60 so x = 10
Answer:
20√3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Altitude of an equilateral triangle splits it into 2 equal right triangles, it bisects the base and the angle opposite to the base.
<u>Let the altitude be x. Then as per Pythagorean theorem:</u>
- x² = 40² - (40/2)²
- x²= 1600 -400
- x²= 1200
- x= √1200
- x= 20√3 cm
<u>Correct choice is</u> the second one
Consider the attached ellipse. Let the sun be at the right focus. Then perihelion is at right vertex on the x-axis and aphelion is at the left vertex on the x-axis.
The distances:
- from perihelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a-c;
- from aphelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a+c.
Then

Add these two equations:
and subtract first equation from the second:
Note that
thus

The equation for the planet's orbit is

This is a more difficult one to explain. Let's start with the line to the right. It has a slope (m) of
= -1 and a y-intercept of +3 (continue the line to see where it crosses the y-axis). So, the equation of that line is: y = -x + 3 when x ≥ 2. This can also be written as y = 3 - x when x ≥ 2. The only option that has that equation is A.
Answer: A
