Das is similarity

the 2 triangles are similar because of math ( don't remember which theorem or whatever)

so since similar

we have to find the bottom length
use right triangle properties
a²+b²=c²
14²+5.5²=c²
196+30.25=c²
226.25=c²
√226.25=c

ten, we do similarity

the hyptonuse of smaller triangle to base of smaller triangle is √226.25:5.5
since the triangles are similar, that should be equal to the ratio of the hypotonuse of the largger triangle to the base, which is x:√226.25

so
x/√226.25=√226.25/5.5
times both sides by √226.25
x=226.25/5.5
x≈41.1363636

the height of screen is 6 less than total
41.13636-6=35.13636

height of screen is about 35ft

Simplify f+g / f-g when f(x)= x-4 / x+9 and g(x)= x-9 / x+4

steposvetlana [31]

$f(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9};\ g(x)=\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}\\\\f(x)+g(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9}+\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}=\dfrac{(x-4)(x+4)+(x-9)(x+9)}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-4^2+x^2-9^2}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{2x^2-16-81}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\f(x)-g(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9}-\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}=\dfrac{(x-4)(x+4)-(x-9)(x+9)}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-4^2-(x^2-9^2)}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{x^2-16-x^2+81}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{65}{(x+9)(x+4)}$

$\dfrac{f+g}{f-g}=(f+g):(f-g)=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}:\dfrac{65}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}\cdot\dfrac{(x+9)(x+4)}{65}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{\dfrac{f+g}{f-g}=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{65}}$

Find the coordinates of the point 7/10 of the way from A to B. a=(-3,-6) b=(12,4)

Artemon [7]

Answer:

The coordinates of $M$ are $x = \frac{15}{2}$ and $y = 1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $A = (-3,-6)$ and $B = (12, 4)$ endpoints of segment AB and $M$ a point located 7/10 the way from A to B. Vectorially, we get this formula:

$\overrightarrow {AM} = \frac{7}{10}\cdot \overrightarrow {AB}$

$\vec M - \vec A = \frac{7}{10}\cdot (\vec B - \vec A)$

By Linear Algebra we get the location of $M$ :

$\vec M = \vec A + \frac{7}{10}\cdot (\vec B - \vec A)$

$\vec M = \vec A +\frac{7}{10}\cdot \vec B - \frac{7}{10}\cdot \vec A$

$\vec M = \frac{3}{10}\cdot \vec A + \frac{7}{10}\cdot \vec B$

If we know that $\vec A = (-3,-6)$ and $\vec B = (12, 4)$ , then:

$\vec M = \frac{3}{10}\cdot (-3,-6)+\frac{7}{10}\cdot (12,4)$

$\vec M = \left(-\frac{9}{10},-\frac{9}{5} \right)+\left(\frac{42}{5} ,\frac{14}{5} \right)$

$\vec M =\left(-\frac{9}{10}+\frac{42}{5} ,-\frac{9}{5}+\frac{14}{5} \right)$

$\vec M = \left(\frac{15}{2} ,1\right)$

The coordinates of $M$ are $x = \frac{15}{2}$ and $y = 1$ .

Jack is mixing a cleaning solution that is 12% bleach.After mixing the solution,jack has 150 ounces of cleaning solution.how man

marysya [2.9K]

To solve for the ounces of bleach that Jack used, we utilize the formula below

Bleach = (Percentage of bleach)*(Total ounces of cleaning solution)
Bleach = 0.12*150 ounces
Bleach = 18 ounces

ANSWER: 18 ounces of bleach
