Answer:

Answer is 71 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

AS we can see it is an isosceles triangle so base angles are equal

x + x + 38 = 180 ( sum of angles of triangle )

2x = 180 - 38

2x = 142

x = 142 / 2

Therefore x = 71 degree

Hope it helps :)

How to construct a right scalene triangle using no given lengths with a ruler and a compass

11111nata11111 [884]

A scalene triangle contains three unequal in length sides. Therefore, a right scalene triangle can be constructed without the use of a ruler or compass. The 90-degree angle can be signified by a small box in the corner of the triangle that measures 90 degrees.

Nancy and Kevin collect coins. Nancy has x coins. Kevin has 9 coins fewer than five times the number of coins Nancy has. Write a

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

x + (5x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

x stands for the number of coins Nancy has

Kevin has 9 less than 5 times what Nancy has, so his part of the expression is 5x-9

To find the total number of coins they have, you have to add Nancy's number of coins x plus Kevin's number of coins 5x-9

x + (5x-9)

But you have to put parentheses around Kevin's 5x-9 so that part of the expression is calculated first, as per order of operations

Use the discriminant to predict the nature of the solutions to the equation 4x-3x²=10. Then, solve the equation.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Two imaginary solutions:

x₁= $\frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}$

x₂ = $\frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given a quadratic equation of the form ax² +bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by the formula b² - 4ac.

The discriminant gives us information on how the solutions of the equations will be.

If the discriminant is zero, the equation will have only one solution and it will be real
If the discriminant is greater than zero, then the equation will have two solutions and they both will be real.
If the discriminant is less than zero, then the equation will have two imaginary solutions (in the complex numbers)

So now we will work with the equation given: 4x - 3x² = 10

First we will order the terms to make it look like a quadratic equation ax²+bx + c = 0

So:

4x - 3x² = 10

-3x² + 4x - 10 = 0 will be our equation

with this information we have that a = -3 b = 4 c = -10

And we will find the discriminant: $b^{2} -4ac = 4^{2} -4(-3)(-10) = 16-120=-104$

Therefore our discriminant is less than zero and we know that our equation will have two solutions in the complex numbers.

To proceed to solve the equation we will use the general formula

x₁= (-b+√b²-4ac)/2a

so x₁ = $\frac{-4+\sqrt{-104} }{2(-3)} \\\frac{-4+\sqrt{-104} }{-6}\\\frac{-4+2\sqrt{-26} }{-6} \\\frac{-4+2i\sqrt{26} }{-6} \\\frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}$

The second solution x₂ = (-b-√b²-4ac)/2a

so x₂= $\frac{-4-\sqrt{-104} }{2(-3)} \\\frac{-4-\sqrt{-104} }{-6}\\\frac{-4-2\sqrt{-26} }{-6} \\\frac{-4-2i\sqrt{26} }{-6} \\\frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}$
