Answer:

x=280

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 15% × x = 42

or,

100

× x = 42

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 15,

we have x = 42 ×

100

x = 280

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 42×100÷15, which will give you the answer.

The vertex of this parabola is at 2, -1 When the y-value is 0 the x value is 5 what is the coefficient of the squared term in th

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\sf \frac{1}{9}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf y=a(x-h)^2+k$

$\sf Vertex = (h,k)$

y-value is 0 and the x value is 5

h = 2

k = -1

$\sf 0=a(5-2)^2+-1$

Solve for $\sf a$ (the coefficient of the squared term).

$\sf 0=a(3)^2+-1$

$\sf 0=9a-1$

$\sf 9a=1$

$\displaystyle \sf a=\frac{1}{9}$

The coefficient of the squared term in the parabola equation is 1/9.

A slow pitch softball diamond is actually a square 60 ft on a side. how far is it from home to second base?

krek1111 [17]

For this case we have a square whose sides are known and equal to 60 ft.
We want to find the diagonal of the square.
For this, we use the Pythagorean theorem.
We have then:
$d^2 = 60^2 + 60^2

d = \sqrt{60^2 + 60^2}

 d = \sqrt{3600 + 3600}

d = \sqrt{2*3600}

d = 60\sqrt{2}
$
Answer:
from home to second base it is about:
$d = 60\sqrt{2} feet$

Determine if the two triangles shown are similar. If so, write the similarity statement.

dmitriy555 [2]

I don’t think those are similar... not 100% sure tho. I think they need 2 matching angles to be similar.
