The base is 3+(x), altitude is x so substitute. Now we know the area of a triangle is base X height X 1/2. Substitute again! 1/2 (3+x)(x)=35. Multiply both sides by 2 to cancel out the 1/2. Now you have (x)(x+3)=70 and you have to foil out the left side x^2+3x=70. Subtract 70 on both sides x^2+3x-70=0. Find two numbers that multiply to -70 and add to 3. Solve (x+10)(x-7)=0. the x value is 7. since you can't have negative length values. Substitute 7 into 3+x for the base so you know the base is 10 and the height is 7.

Determine the coordinates of the point $P$ on the line $y=-x+6$ such that $P$ is equidistant from the points $A(10,-10)$ and $O(
lidiya [134]

Answer:

P=(3,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a point  P in the line y=-x+6 such that PA=P0 where A=(10,-10)

Observe that the coordinates of P are (x,y)=(x,-x+6) because P is in the line.

Then,

PA=P0\\(x,-x+6)(10,-10)=(x,-x+6)(0,0)\\10x+(-x+6)(-10)=0\\10x+10x-60=0\\20x=60\\x=3

We reeplace  the value of x in the coordinates of P and obtain the point

(3,-3+6)=(3,3)=P

A 500 g model train car traveling at 0.8 m/s collides with a 300 g stationary car. The cars hook up and move off down the track
sdas [7]

Answer:

0.5ms^{-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the speed after the collision of both the cars.

Now, momentum is given by: mass × velocity, then by equating the total momentum before and after the collision of the two cars, we get

500{\times}0.8+300{\times}0=(500+300)v

⇒400+0=800v

⇒400=800v

⇒v=0.5ms^{-1}

Thus, they are moving at the velocity of 0.5ms^{-1}
