Answer: The required x-intercept of the given line is $\left(-\dfrac{15}{13},0\right).$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the x-intercept of the line with the following equation :

$13x+y=-15~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

We know that

x-intercept of a line is a point on the line where the line crosses the x-axis, that is y co-ordinate is 0.

Substituting y = 0 in equation (i), we get

$13x+y=--15\\\\\Rightarrow 13x+0=-15\\\\\Rightarrow 13x=-15\\\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{15}{13}.$

Thus, the required x-intercept of the given line is $\left(-\dfrac{15}{13},0\right).$

Question: A canary's beak is, at most, 20mm long. Which algebraic inequality represents this situation?

Paul [167]

Answer:

Option (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement given states that "A canary's beak is, at most 20 mm long."

Word "at most" means "the maximum".

So at most length of the beak means "length of the beak is less than equal to 20 mm".

And the expression representing this statement algebraically will be,

x ≤ 20

Therefore, option (1) will be the correct option.

Using the triangle pictured, find the measure of side AB. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. A) 1.6 B) 2.2 C) 2.7 D) 3.3

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Option B (AB = 2.2 units).

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows that there are two sides given and one angle is given. Therefore, the sine rule must be used to solve the question. The sine rule can be written as:

sin ABC / AC = sin BAC / BC.

Plugging ABC=72 degrees, AC=2.5, and BC=2.1 in the sine rule gives:

sin 72 / 2.5 = sin BAC / 2.1.

Cross multiplying gives:

sin BAC = (2.1*sin 72)/2.5.

sin BAC = 0.79888747368.

Taking sin inverse on both sides gives:

BAC = arcsin (0.79888747368) = 53.0239949 degrees.

To find AB, first, the angle ACB is required. To find that angle, use the triangular law of angles. All the three angles sum up to 180 degrees. Therefore ACB = 180 - 72 - 53.0239949 = 54.9760051 degrees.

Now applying the Sine Rule to find AB:

sin ACB / AB = sin ABC / AC.

sin (54.9760051) / AB = sin 72 / 2.5.

AB = (2.5*sin (54.9760051))/sin (72) = 2.2 (to the nearest tenth).

Therefore, AB = 2.2 units, i.e. Option B!!!
