Answer:
• x = 9
• y = 6√2
Step-by-step explanation:
The right triangles are all similar, so the ratios of hypotenuse to short side are the same:
27/x = x/3
x^2 = 81 . . . . . multiply by 3x
x = 9 . . . . . . . . take the square root
Then y can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 = y^2 + 3^2
81 - 9 = y^2 = 72 . . . . . subtract 9
y = √72 = 6√2 . . . . . . .take the square root
The values of x and y are 9 and 6√2, respectively.
Answer:
(C) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations 2a + 7b+2c=16 and 2a + 3b +2c= 8, you want to know the value of b.
<h3>Solution</h3>
The coefficients of 'a' and 'c' are the same in the two equations, so we can eliminate those variables by subtracting one equation from the other. We can keep the resulting coefficient of 'b' positive if we subtract the second equation from the first.
(2a +7b +2c) -(2a +3b +2c) = (16) -(8)
4b = 8 . . . . . . . simplify
b = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k) = (3, 1), hence
y = a(x - 3)² + 1
To find a substitute (- 2, - 4) into the equation
- 4 = a(- 2 - 3)² + 1
- 4 = 25a + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
25a = - 5 ( divide both sides by 25 )
a = - 
= - 
y = - (x - 3)² + 1 ← in vertex form
