Answer:

b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse.  The sides touching the right angle are the legs

Since this is right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

3^2+b^2 = 5^2

9+b^2 = 25

Subtract 9 from each side

9-9+b^2 = 25-9

b^2 =16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(16)

b=4

In an ore, 9.8% of its total weight is metal. How many pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore?
Fudgin [204]

Answer

Find out the  how many pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .

To proof

let us assume that the pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore be x .

As given

In an ore, 9.8% of its total weight is metal.

ore weight = 1,950 lb

9.8% is written in the decimal form

= \frac{9.8}{100}

= 0.098

Than the equation becomes

x = 0.098 × 1950

x = 191.1 pounds

Therefore the 191.1 pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .

Hence proved

If f(x) = 4(3x - 5), find f^-1(x)
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call f(x)=y, so y= 4*(3*x-5), we want to find 'x', using 'y' as a the variable.

y=12x-20\\ y+20=12x\\ x=\frac{y+20}{12}

Now lets change the name of 'y' to 'x', and 'x' to f^-1(x).

f-1(x) = (x+20)/12
