Answer:

The numbers are 10 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=15

(1/x)+(1/y)=(3/10)

(1/(15-y))+(1/y)=(3/10)

x=10, y=5

What is the value of x when the Richter scale rating is 7.9 round your answer to the nearest

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

If no base is stated, then assume base 10
$log(x)=log_{10}(x)$
rememer
$a=log_b(c)$ translates to $b^a=c$

so
$r=log(x)$ or
$r=log_{10}(x)$ translates to $10^r=x$

so when r=7.9, what is x
$10^r=x$
$10^{7.9}=x$
79432823.472428=x
round to nearest ???
thousanth? 79432823.472=x
hundreth? 79432823.47=x
tenth? 79432823.5=x

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST<br> Answer all parts of the question please!

Schach [20]

A: l x w = a formula for area
l = w + 48 length
w(w+48) = 3024 substitute l with w+48
w^2 + 48w -3024=0 —solution to part A

B: w^2 + 48w - 3024 = 0 factor
(w-36)(w+84) = 0
Solutions for width = 36,-84
A width can’t be negative, so the width is 36 inches

If sin(x) = squareroot 2 over 2 what is cos(x) and tan(x)

Bumek [7]

Answer:

cos(x) = square root 2 over 2; tan(x) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$

was, before it was rationalized,

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

Therefore,

$sin(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

The side opposite the reference angle measures 1, the hypotenuse measures square root 2. That makes the reference angle a 45 degree angle. From there we can determine that the side adjacent to the reference angle also has a measure of 1. Therefore,

$cos(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ and
