Answer:
<h2>x = 6.5 cm</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
The segment 20.2 cm is the tangent. Therefore x and 20.2cm are perpendicular.
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
We have
Substitute:
<em>use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²</em>
<em>subtract x² from both sides</em>
<em>subtract 216.09 from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 29.4</em>
Answer: The quotient is (2x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the dividend =
Divisor =
By the long division method for finding the quotient we will follow the following steps,
Steps 1 : Write dividend inside the division sign and divisor outside the division sign,
Step 2: Multiply the divisor by 2x and subtract the result by the dividend,
Step 3: Now, again multiply the divisor by 1,
Step 4: Subtract the result by the remaining dividend,
Since, further division is not possible,
Hence, the sum of all terms that are multiplied = 2x+1
Which is our quotient.
A good place to start is to set to y. That would mean we are looking for
to be an integer. Clearly,
, because if y were greater the part under the radical would be a negative, making the radical an imaginary number, not an integer. Also note that since
is a radical, it only outputs values from
, which means y is on the closed interval:
.
With that, we don't really have to consider y anymore, since we know the interval that is on.
Now, we don't even have to find the x values. Note that only 11 perfect squares lie on the interval , which means there are at most 11 numbers that x can be which make the radical an integer. All of the perfect squares are easily constructed. We can say that if k is an arbitrary integer between 0 and 11 then:
Which is strictly positive so we know for sure that all 11 numbers on the closed interval will yield a valid x that makes the radical an integer.
