Since the triangles are similar, the following is true:

  20        x+6
------- = -------
2x -6       36

Then (20)(36) = (x+6)(2)(x-3) = 2[x^2+3x-18], or

720 = 2[x^2+3x-18], or 360 = x^2 + 3x - 18.

Then x^2 + 3x - 18 - 360 = 0.  This is a quadratic equation which can be solved using the quadratic formula, among other approaches.  Please apply the quadratic formula here, using a=1, b=3 and c= -378, to find x.

Since they are similar
36/x+6=2x-6/20

What is the constant of variation for the quadratic variation? x 2 3 4 5 6 y 32 72 128 200 288
cluponka [151]
We use different models for different types of variation. For example, linear variation is associated with the formula y=ax, or the more familiar y=mx+b (the equation of a straight line). Cubic variation: y=a*x^3. In the present case we're discussing quadratic variation; perhaps that will ring a bell with you, reminding you that y=ax^2+bx+c is the general quadratic function. Now in y our math problem, we're told that this is a case of quadratic variation. Use the model y=a*x^2. For example, we know that if x=2, y =32. Mind substituting those two values into y=a*x^2 and solving for y? Then you could re-write y=a*x^2 substituting this value for a. Then check thisd value by substituting x=3, y=72, and see whether the resulting equation is true or not. If it is, your a value is correct. But overall I got 16!

Find sin q if q is an angle in standard position and the point with coordinates (4, 3) lies on the terminal side of the angle.
jolli1 [7]
<span>Let’s say we have a starting point (0,0), the point (4,3) are distance apart at 90 degrees, hence the hypotenuse to those two distance will be 5. Therefore sin q = 4/5.</span>

Write the terms a 1a1​, a 2a2​, a 3a3​, and a 4a4 of the following sequence. If the sequence appears to​ converge, make a conjec
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

WE are given that a_n = \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{5n-4}. Then, to now the first for terms, we must replace n by 1,2,3,4 respectively. Then

a_1 = \frac{(-1)^2}{5(1)-4} = \frac{1}{1}= 1

a_2 = \frac{(-1)^3}{5(2)-4} = \frac{-1}{6}

a_3 = \frac{(-1)^4}{5(3)-4} = \frac{1}{11}= 1

a_4 = \frac{(-1)^5}{5(4)-4} = \frac{-1}{16}= 1

Note that as n increase, a_n gets closer to 0. So, the limit of this sequence is 0.
