These can be a bit of a mind-twister. A fairly straightforward approach is to define a variable (x) to be the angle, then use 90-x for the complement and 180-x for the supplement. Write the relations given in the text, solve for x, then calculate the measure of the angle asked for by the problem statement.

You don't have to do it that way. In 21, you can work directly with "the complement of the angle." You know that an angle and its complement make 90°, and that an angle and its supplement make 180°. This means the supplement is 90° more than the complement—a fact you can use here.

<h2>21.</h2><h3>Given</h3>

The supplement of an angle is 4 times the complement of the angle.

<h3>Find</h3>

The complement of the angle.

<h3>Solution</h3>

Let x represent the complement of the angle (what the question asks for). Then the supplement of the angle is x+90.

The supplement is 4 × the complement

... x + 90 = 4x

... 90 = 3x . . . . . . . subtract x

... 30 = x

The complement of the angle is 30°.

_____

<u>Check</u>

The angle is 60°; its complement is 30°, and its supplement is 120°. 120° is 4 times 30°, as required.

<h2>22.</h2><h3>Given</h3>

5 times the complement of an angle less 2 times the supplement is 40°

<h3>Find</h3>

the supplement of the angle

<h3>Solution</h3>

We can do this as we did in the previous problem. We are asked to find the supplement of the angle. Let x represent the supplement of the angle. As discussed above, then the complement of the angle is x-90°.

... 5 × (the complement) - 2 × (the supplement) = 40

... 5(x-90) -2x = 40 . . . . . . . . . filling in the variable expressions for complement and supplement

... 5x -450 -2x = 40 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 3x = 490 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 450

... x = 163 1/3

The supplement of the angle is 163 1/3°.

_____

<u>Check</u>

The angle is 16 2/3°. Its complement is 73 1/3°.

5 times the complement is 366 2/3°. 2 times the supplement is 326 2/3°. The latter subtracted from the former is 366 2/3 - 326 2/3 = 40, as required.

For 3x2 - 4x+ 1, match the following:
Usimov [2.4K]

Constant: 1

Degree: 2

Coefficient : 3 and -4

Algebraic expression: 3x^2-4x + 1

Variable : x

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

3x^2-4x + 1

We have to find the constant, degree, coefficient , algebraic expression and varibale

<h3><u>Constant:</u></h3>

In Algebra, a constant is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number like 1, 2

In the given expression, constant is 1

<h3><u>Degree:</u></h3>

The largest exponent the variable has in a polynomial with one variable

In the given expression, largest exponent is 2

Thus degree of polynomial is 2

<h3><u>Coefficient:</u></h3>

The coefficients are the numbers that multiply the variables or letters

In 3x^2-4x + 1 , coefficients are 3 and -4

<h3><u>Algebraic expression:</u></h3>

An algebraic expression is a mathematical expression that consists of variables, numbers and operations.

Here the algebraic expression is:

3x^2-4x + 1

<h3><u>Variable:</u></h3>

The letters x, y, and z are common generic symbols used for variables.

Thus the variable in given expression is x

If you apply the changes below to the absolute value parent function,
QveST [7]

Answer:

F(x) = |x|

And we need to apply some transformations. The first part is hift 8 units left. And we need to do this:

F(x) = |x+8|

Then we need to apply the second transformation Shift 3 units down. and we can do this:

F(x) = |x+8|-3

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following function given:

F(x) = |x|

And we need to apply some transformations. The first part is hift 8 units left. And we need to do this:

F(x) = |x+8|

Then we need to apply the second transformation Shift 3 units down. and we can do this:

F(x) = |x+8|-3

Reil [10]

Answer:

Ham costs: $8.249 repeating

Overall cost: 1.26 repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

$4.95 x 5/3= 8.249

2/3 + 3/5= (2 x 5) + (3 x 3)/ 3 x 5=

19/ 15 or 1 4/15

15 divided by 19= 1.26 repeating
