Answer:

CU = 117

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{WC}{WU}$ = $\frac{CD}{UV}$

substituting in values to the ratios

$\frac{26}{36x-1}$ = $\frac{24}{132}$ ( cross- multiply )

24(36x - 1) = 3432 ( divide both sides by 24 )

36x - 1 = 143 ( add 1 to both sides )

36x = 144 ( divide both sides by 36 )

x = 4

CU = 36x - 1 - 26 = (36 × 4) - 27 = 144 - 27 = 117

Doris made 80 cookies this week. She baked 4 less than three times the total she made last week. Which equation, when solved for

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The equation is $3x-4=80$

The value of x is 28 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of cookies she baked last week

we know that

The number of cookies she baked last week multiplied by 3 minus 4 must be equal to 80 cookies

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$3x-4=80$

solve for x

$3x=80+4\\3x=84\\x=28\ cookies$

Use lagrange multiplier techniques to find the local extreme values of f(x, y) = x2 − y2 − 2 subject to the constraint x2 + y2 =

dexar [7]

Given $f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2$ subject to the constraint $x^2+y^2=16$

Let $g(x,\ y)=x^2+y^2$ .

The gradient vectors of $f$ and $g$ are:

$\nabla f(x,\ y)=\langle2x,-2y\rangle$ and $\nabla g(x,\ y)=\langle2x,2y\rangle$

By Lagrange's theorem, there is a number $\lambda$ , such that

$\langle2x,-2y\rangle=\lambda\langle2x,2y\rangle=\langle2\lambda x,2\lambda y\rangle$

$\lambda=\pm1$

It can be seen that $f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2$ has local extreme values at the given region.

Sam chose one marble from a bag containing 2 red marbles, 3 white marbles, and 10 black marbles. Find the probability that the m

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

P(black) = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the total number of marbles

2 red marbles+ 3 white marbles+ 10 black marbles = 15 marbles

To find the probability that Sam chose a black marble, we take the number of black marbles and divide by the total number of marbles

P(black) = black marbles/total marbles

= 10/15

Divide the top and bottom by 5

= 2/3

Answer:

69 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

300 = 2(81 + width)

150 = 81 + width

width = 69
