Abc is equilateral with AB=3x-2,BC=2x+4, and CA= x+10

1 answer:

7 0

AB = BC, so 3x-2 = 2x+4. Also, BC = CA, so 2x+4=x+10.

Solve this system of linear equations:

3x-2 = 2x+4
2x+4=x+10 => x=6

Check: Does AB=BC? Does AB=BC?

Does 3(6)-2 = 2(6)+4? Does 16=16? YES.
Does BC = CA? Does 2(6)+4 = 6+10? YES

x = 6 (answer)

Triangle X Y Z is shown. The length of X Z is 12, the length of Y Z is 11, and the length of Y X is 6.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

84 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the Cosine Rule (Choice 2 is the correct one) :-

12^2 = 11^2 + 6^2 - 2*11*6 cos Y

144 = 121 + 36 - 132 cos Y

cos Y = (121 + 36 - 144) / 132

cos Y = 0.09848

Y = 84.3 degrees

Which is the inverse of the function a(d)=5d-3? And use the definition of inverse functions to prove a(d) and a-1(d) are inverse

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Represent a(d) as y

$y = 5d - 3$

Swap positions of d and y

$d = 5y - 3$

Make y the subject

$5y = d + 3$

$y = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Replace y with a'(d)

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ and $a(d) = 5d - 3$

To do this, we prove that:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Solving for $a(a'(d))$

$a(a'(d)) = a(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5})$

Substitute $\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ for d in $a(d) = 5d - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = 5(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}) - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = \frac{5d}{5} + \frac{15}{5} - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d + 3 - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d$

Solving for: $a'(a(d))$

$a'(a(d)) = a'(5d - 3)$

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in $a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Add fractions

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3+3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = d$

Hence:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$
