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.

Write the explicit formula
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no single number we can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next one, this is not arithmetic. That means it's geometric, if it's a sequence at all. To get from 2 to 6 we multiply by 3. To get from 6 to 18 we multiply by 3. To get from 18 to 54 we multiply by 3. Therefore, this is in fact geometric and the common ratio is 3. The standard form of a geometric explicit formula is

A_n=a_1(r)^{n-1 where n is the position of a number in the sequence, a1 is the first number in the sequence, and r is the common ratio. We have then

a1 = 2 and r = 3. Therefore, the explicit formula is

A_n=2(3)^{n-1 and you can use this to find the value of any number in the sequence. Very handy; much more so than the recursive formula, which requires that all the numbers in a sequence be found in order in order to get to a desired value.

What is 10.04 rounded to nearest tenth?
ivolga24 [154]
The next larger tenth is  10.1  .
The next smaller tenth is  10.0  .

10.04 is nearer to  10.0  than it is to  10.1  .

So the nearest tenth is  10.0  .
