A=bh/2, h=b-5 so

A=(b/2)(b-5)

A=(b^2-5b)/2 and A=42 so:

(b^2-5b)/2=42

b^2-5b=84

b^2-5b-84=0

b^2-12b+7b-84=0

b(b-12)+7(b-12)=0

(b+7)(b-12)=0 and since b>0

b=12m

Find f(-4) if f(x) = 3x - 6. A 6 B -6 C 18 D -18

brilliants [131]

Answer:

f(-4) = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-4) means x = - 4

So Plug in x = - 4 into f(x) = 3x - 6

f(-4) = 3(-4) - 6

= -12 - 6

= -18

f(-4) = -18

Show that y=cos(t)y=cos(t) is a solution to (dydt)2=1−y2(dydt)2=1−y2. Enter your answers below in terms of the independent varia

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

$(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=sin^2t$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=cost$

DE : $(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=1-y^2$

If y is a solution of given DE then it satisfied the DE.

Differentiate w.r.t t

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-sint$

Using the formula

$\frac{d(cosx)}{dx}=-sinx$

LHS: $(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=(-sint)^2=sin^2t$

RHS

$1-y^2=1-cos^2t=sin^2t$

By using the formula

$sin^2t=1-cos^2t$

LHS=RHs

Hence, y is a solution of given DE

$(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=sin^2t$

Find the distance between-10,-13 and 20,-13

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

the distance between these 2 would be 30 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets ignore the -13 for now because it doesn't have anything to do with the question

Now simply just add 10+ 20 (i took out the negative because it doesn;t make sense)

10+20

=30

Lydia bought 2 ½ gallons of paint and used 1 ½ gallons of paint. What fraction of the paint did she use?

grandymaker [24]

3/5 is used

2 1/2 gallons can be expressed as 5/2
1 1/2 gallons is the same as 3/2the fraction used is amount used over total amount

So (3/2)/(5/2) the 2 s cancel leaving you with 3/5
