<h3>Answer: Largest value is a = 9</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

b = 5

(2b)^2 = (2*5)^2 = 100

So we want the expression a^2+3b to be less than (2b)^2 = 100

We need to solve a^2 + 3b < 100 which turns into

a^2 + 3b < 100

a^2 + 3(5) < 100

a^2 + 15 < 100

after substituting in b = 5.

------------------

Let's isolate 'a'

a^2 + 15 < 100

a^2 < 100-15

a^2 < 85

a < sqrt(85)

a < 9.2195

'a' is an integer, so we round down to the nearest whole number to get a \le 9

So the greatest integer possible for 'a' is a = 9.

------------------

Check:

plug in a = 9 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

9^2 + 3(5) < 100

81 + 15 < 100

96 < 100 .... true statement

now try a = 10 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

10^2 + 3(5) < 100

100 + 15 < 100 ... you can probably already see the issue

115 < 100 ... this is false, so a = 10 doesn't work

PLeAsE sEnD hElP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If DG, EG and FG are perpendicular bisectors of the sides of triangle ABC, then point G is the circumcenter of the triangle ABC and

BG = AG = CG as radii of the circumcirle.

Consider right triangle BEG. By the Pythagorean theorem,

BG^2=EG^2+BE^2\\ \\BG^2=4^2+3^2\\ \\BG^2 =16+9\\ \\BG^2=25\\ \\BG=5\ units

This gives us that

AG = BG = 5 units

Answer:

<h2>X=6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
  • equation
  • PEMDAS
<h3>let's solve:</h3>
  1. \sf cancel \: 4 \: from \: both \: sides :  \\  \sf   \implies \: 3x + 4 - 4 = 22 - 4 \\  \implies \sf \: 3x = 18
  2. \sf divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 3 :  \\  \sf  \bcancel \frac{3x}{3}  =  \frac{  \cancel{18} \:  \:  ^{6} }{ \cancel{ \: 3}}  \\  \therefore \rm \: x = 6

Then find the area S of the region.<br><br> y=2 x^2, y^2=1/2 x
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Recall that the area under a curve and above the x axis can be computed by the definite integral.  If we have two curves

<span>        y = f(x) and y = g(x)</span>

such that 

<span>        f(x) > g(x) 
</span>
then the area between them bounded by the horizontal lines x = a and x = b is
