Hoochie [10]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 3.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras' Theorem to find the base of the triangle. The base of the triangle is half of 'x'. Let's call the base 'y' for now.

To find 'y' we must use this formula,

y^{2} = c^{2} -b^{2}

'c' is the hypotenuse, the longer side, and 'b' is the other short side.

Sub in the numbers for 'c' and 'b',

y^{2} = 2.1^{2} -1.4^{2}

               = 2.45

Square root both sides to get 'y' by itself,

y = 1.5652.....

Remember that 'y' is half of x? Simply multiply 'y' by 2 to get an answer for 'x',

x = 1.5652.... x 2

  = 3.1 ft (1 d.p. nearest tenth)

Hope this helped!!

Find the standard deviation of the data, 12, 19, 9.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

4.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the mean:

\text{Mean}=\frac{12+19+9}{3}=\frac{40}{3}

Find the standard deviation:

\text{Standard Deviation}=\sqrt{\frac{(12-\frac{40}{3})^2+(19-\frac{40}{3})^2+(9-\frac{40}{3})^2}{3}}=\sqrt{\frac{158}{9}}\approx4.19

If the following is a polynomial function, then state its degree and leading coefficient. If it is not, then state this fact. f(
Fed [463]

By definition, a polynomial is an expression with more than one term. That is a monomial. We have names for 2-termed polynomials (binomials) and 3-termed polynomials (trinomials), but that's where the naming stops and they all are called polynomials after that. Our degree is the same as the highest exponent. So our degree is a fifth degree. The leading coefficient is the number that starts out the whole polynomial AS LONG AS IT IS IN STANDARD FORM. If our polynomial started with the -4x^4, our leading coefficient would NOT be -4 since the highest degree'd term will always come first in standard form. Your choice for your answer is the first one given. Degree: 5 Leading Coefficient: -13.

The vertical asymptote of the function f(x) = 3 log(x + 3)
ipn [44]

A function has a vertical asymptote where it is not defined, and the logarithm is defined only if its argument is strictly positive: it has a vertical asymptote if its argument is zero, and is not defined if its argument is negative.

So, you have a vertical asymptote where

x+3=0 \iff x=-3

A.)List the 4 steps outlined in the lesson on solving equations.
aleksley [76]
1.) Solve for x:
5 x + 7 = 3 x + 21

Subtract 3 x from both sides:
(5 x - 3 x) + 7 = (3 x - 3 x) + 21

5 x - 3 x = 2 x:
2 x + 7 = (3 x - 3 x) + 21

3 x - 3 x = 0:
2 x + 7 = 21

Subtract 7 from both sides:
2 x + (7 - 7) = 21 - 7

7 - 7 = 0:
2 x = 21 - 7

21 - 7 = 14:
2 x = 14

Divide both sides of 2 x = 14 by 2:
(2 x)/2 = 14/2

2/2 = 1:
x = 14/2

The gcd of 14 and 2 is 2, so 14/2 = (2×7)/(2×1) = 2/2×7 = 7:
Answer:  x = 7

____________________________________________________________

2.)  Solve for x:
3 x - 2 (5 - x) = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

-2 (5 - x) = 2 x - 10:
2 x - 10 + 3 x = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

Grouping like terms, 3 x + 2 x - 10 = (3 x + 2 x) - 10:
(3 x + 2 x) - 10 = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

3 x + 2 x = 5 x:
5 x - 10 = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

-3 (x - 10) = 30 - 3 x:
5 x - 10 = 30 - 3 x + 3 x

3 x - 3 x = 0:
5 x - 10 = 30

Add 10 to both sides:
5 x + (10 - 10) = 10 + 30

10 - 10 = 0:
5 x = 30 + 10

30 + 10 = 40:
5 x = 40

Divide both sides of 5 x = 40 by 5:
(5 x)/5 = 40/5

5/5 = 1:
x = 40/5

The gcd of 40 and 5 is 5, so 40/5 = (5×8)/(5×1) = 5/5×8 = 8:

<span>Answer: x = 8

_________________________________________________________

3.) Solve for x:</span>
5 (x + 1) = 3 (2 x + 3) + 5

3 (2 x + 3) = 6 x + 9:
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + 9 + 5

Grouping like terms, 6 x + 5 + 9 = 6 x + (9 + 5):
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + (9 + 5)

9 + 5 = 14:
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + 14

Expand out terms of the left hand side:
5 x + 5 = 6 x + 14

Subtract 6 x from both sides:
(5 x - 6 x) + 5 = (6 x - 6 x) + 14

5 x - 6 x = -x:
-x + 5 = (6 x - 6 x) + 14

6 x - 6 x = 0:
5 - x = 14

Subtract 5 from both sides:
(5 - 5) - x = 14 - 5

5 - 5 = 0:
-x = 14 - 5

14 - 5 = 9:
-x = 9

Multiply both sides of -x = 9 by -1:
(-x)/(-1) = -9
(-1)/(-1) = 1:
