The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal, it is obtained by Pythagoras theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given are,

           From ΔABC,

                    AB= 6

                    BC= 10

                    AC = x

           From ΔDEC,

                    CD= 28

                    DE= 21

                    CE = y

Step:1

        Pythagoras theorem from  ΔABC,

                    BC^{2}=AB^{2} + AC^{2}...............(1)

       Substitute the values,

                   10^{2} = 6^{2} + AC^{2}

                  100 = 36 + AC^{2}

                   AC^{2} = 100 - 36

                           = 64

                    AC = \sqrt{64}

                    AC = 8

                  AC = x = 8

Step:2

        Pythagoras theorem for ΔDEC,

               CE^{2} = CD^{2}  + DE^{2}................(2)

       From the values,

              CE^{2} = 28^{2} + 21^{2}

             CE^{2} = 784 + 441

                     = 1225

              CE = \sqrt{1225}

              CE = 35

             CE = y = 35

Result:

         The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

x^3 -x^2 -25x +25

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The roots are,}~ \alpha  = -5,~ \beta = 1 ~ \text{and}~ \gamma = 5\\\\\text{The polynomial is,}\\\\~~~x^3 - (\alpha + \beta + \gamma)x^2+(\alpha \beta + \beta \gamma+ \gamma \alpha)x - \alpha\beta \gamma\\\\=x^3 - (-5+1+5)x^2 +(-5 \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot 5 + 5 \cdot -5)x - (-5)(1)(5)\\\\=x^3 -(0+1)x^2 + (-5+5-25)x +25\\\\=x^3 -x^2 -25x +25

24. If all of the dimensions of the aquarium
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

You can solve this problem by doubling each original measure then putting them in the equation. So, a length of 6in becomes 12in, a width of 10in becomes 20in, a height of 9in becomes 18in. The equation is now 12x20x18. 12x20= 240. 240x18= 4,320. This means the new aquarium has a volume of 4,320in3.

Answer:

x = 2

y = -3

z = 4

( 2 , -3, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 3 ---- i

x – y =5 ---- ii

y - z = -7 ---- iii

ii + iii

x - z = -2 ---- iv

i + ii

2x + z = 8 --- v

iv + v

3x = 6

x = 2

x=2 substitute for v

z = 4

x =2 substitute for ii

y = -3

1.)<br> What is the solution to the system of equations below?<br> y = 2x + 8<br> 3(-2x + y) = 19
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

y = 2x + 8

6x + 3y = 19

6x + 3(2x + 8) = 19

6x + 6x + 24 = 19

12x = -5

x = -5/12

y = 2(-5/12) + 8

y = -5/6 + 48/6

y = 43/6
