Answer:

The sum of 2 numbers is 52. Express the product of the numbers, P, as a function of one of the numbers, x.

the answer is p(x) = -x² + 52x

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y

the sum of the two numbers = x + y

≡ x + y = 52

make y the subject of equation

y= 52 - x

to express the product of the numbers, P, as a function of one of the numbers, x. implies that

P(x) = x(-x + 52)

finally,

p(x) = -x² + 52x

Given: KPST is a trapezoid, KP=ST, MN is a midsegment, MN=20, h=15, PS:KT=3:7 Find: KS and KP

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Length of KS = 25 units and

Length of KP = 17 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: KPST is a trapezoid, KP =ST, MN is a mid segment, h is the height =15

Also it is given that, MN = 20 , h = 15 and PS:KT = 3:7.

If two sides of the trapezoid are equal then, it is an isosceles trapezoid.

Mid-segment of a trapezoid is a line segment which connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.

A trapezoid mid segment connects the midpoints of two congruent sides of the trapezoid and is parallel to the pair of parallel sides.

Length of the mid segment is the sum of two bases divide by 2

Since, the length of Mid-segment MN = 20.

Also, it is given: PS:KT = 3:7

Let PS = 3x and KT = 7x respectively.

then;

$\frac{PS+KT}{2} = 20$

$\frac{3x+7x}{2} = 20$

$\frac{10x}{2} =20$

On Simplify, we get;

5x =20

Divide both sides by 5 we get;

x =4

Then:

Length of base PS = 3x = 3(4) = 12 and Length of base KT = 7x = 7(4) = 28.

Now, In triangle PLK

Using Pythagoras theorem to find KP;

It is given here, PL =h =15 and KL= 8 {you can see in the figure as shown below};

$KP^2= PL^2 + KL^2$

$KP^2 = 15^2+8^2 =225 +64 = 289$

$KP = \sqrt{289}$

Simplify:

KP = 17

therefore, the length KP = 17 units

To, construct a line: Join K and S

Now, in triangle KRS

KR = KL +LR = 8 +12 =20 and SR = h= 15

Using Pythagoras theorem in KRS to find KS;

$KS^2 = SR^2+KR^2$

$KS^2 = 15^2 + 20^2 = 225 + 400 = 625$

$KS = \sqrt{625}$

On simplify:

KS = 25

Therefore, the length of KS is, 25 units.

Find the length of the short leg of a 30-60-90 triangle if the long leg is 3cm

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Short leg = √3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angle of long leg is 60°

hypotenuse : x

sin 60° = 3/x = √3 / 2

x = (3 x 2) / √3 = 2√3

short leg length (s)

Cos 60° = 1/2 = s / x = s / 2√3

s = √3

Which statements about the factors of the terms in the expression 20 a + 15 a b + 24 b are true? Select three options.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Following are the true statements

2. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, and a.

3. The factors common to 20a and 24b are 1, 2, and 4.

5. The GCF of the expression is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression is 20a + 15ab + 24b

Now lets have a look at each of the options provided!

1. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, a, and b.

False

As you can see there is no b in 20a term only 1,5,a are common hence it is false.

2. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, and a.

True

The terms 20a and 15ab are divisible by 1,5,a hence it is true.

3. The factors common to 20a and 24b are 1, 2, and 4.

True

The terms 20a and 24b are divisible by 1,2,4 hence it is true

4. The GCF of the expression is ab.

False

20a + 15ab + 24b

As you can see ab is not common in all of the terms hence it cannot be greatest common factor

5. The GCF of the expression is 1

True

Factor of 20 are: 2,2,5,1

Factor of 15 are: 3,5,1

Factor of 24 are: 2,2,2,3,1

As you can see the only common factor among all the terms is 1 hence GCF is 1.
