The product of two numbers is 450.The first number is half the second number.Which can be used to find x,the greater number?

1 answer:

First, we must define the two numbers using x. We already know that the greater number is x. However, the smaller number is half the greater number. This can be represented by 1/2x. Now, we can create a multiplication equation to find the value of x. This equation would be x(1/2x) = 450. This can then be simplified to 1/2x^2 = 450, then x^2 = 900. Finally, x = 30, or -30. Since the question is only asking for an expression, the answer would be x(1/2x) = 450.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

$A\cup B=A\cup(A-B)\\\\A\ and\ A-B\ are\ disjoint\ that\ means\ there\ is\ no\ common\ element\ in\ these\ two.\\\\n(A\cup B)=n(B\cup(A-B))\\\\n(A\cup B)=n(B)+n(A-B)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ as\ for\ disjoint\ set\ P,Q\ n(P\cup Q)=n(P)+n(Q)\\\\(n(P-Q)=n(P)-n(P\cap Q))\\\\n(AUB)=n(B)+n(A-B)\\\\n(AUB)=n(B)+n(A)-n(A\cap B)\\\\n(AUB)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)\\\\Hence\ given\ statement\ is\ true$

Answer:

Right angle triangle goes to 15m, 8m, 17m

Step-by-step explanation:

Square root of 15^2 + 8^2 is 17

(The use of a^2 + b^2 = c^2 - Pythagoras's Theorem)

So, 10m ,11m ,15m isn't a right angle triangle

Answer:

If you go to fill up your car, the amount of gasoline in your tank influences how much you pay. The amount is a volume calculation, regardless of whether you fill up with gallons or liters of gasoline or other fuels. On a lesser scale, when filling a gas can to transfer to another vehicle or utilize the gas to power another device, volume is used to calculate the amount needed.
