Triangle fgh is similar to triangle abc solve for x

m∠A = 42 and m∠C = 57. Find m∠B. A. 81 B. 99 C. 132 D. 147

faltersainse [42]

A.
because the total distance of every triangle 180. Add the two other angles so 42+ 57 =99. Then you have to subtract those two combined angles to find the missing one from the total distance, which is 180. 180-99=81. the answer is A. 81

What 2 numbers multiply to be -14 and add to be -3

Svetach [21]

Xy = -14
x + y = -3

$xy = -14$
$\frac{xy}{x} = \frac{-14}{x}$
$y = \frac{-14}{x}$

$x + y = -3$
$x + \frac{-14}{x} = -3$
$\frac{x^{2}}{x} + \frac{-14}{x} = -3$
$\frac{x^{2} - 14}{x} = -3$
$x^{2} - 14 = -3x$
$x^{2} + 3x - 14 = 0$
$x = \frac{-(3) \± \sqrt{(3)^{2} - 4(1)(-14)}}{2(1)}$
$x = \frac{-3 \± \sqrt{9 + 56}}{2}$
$x = \frac{-3 \± \sqrt{65}}{2}$
$x = \frac{-3 \± 8.06}{2}$
$x = -1.5 \± 4.03$
$x = -1.5 + 4.03$ $or$ $x = -1.5 - 4.03$
$x = 2.53$ $or$ $x = -5.53$

  x + y = -3
2.53 + y = -3
- 2.53 - 2.53
  y = -5.53
  (x, y) = (2.53, -5.53)

x + y = -3
  -5.53 + y = -3
+ 5.53   + 5.53
  y = 2.53
  (x, y) = (-5.53, 2.53)

The two numbers that multiply to -14 and add up to -3 are -5.53 and 2.53.

Which expressions are not polynomials?

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The middle two expressions shown are not polynomials

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial terms have positive integer exponents on any variables. A 2/3 power is not an integer exponent. Division by y is equivalent to an exponent of -1, which is not a positive integer.

How to write the slope intercept equation for points of (6,0) and (0,-5)?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

$y=\frac{5}{6} x -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the points (6,0) and (0, -5), and we want to write the equation of the line containing those points in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form can be written as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

First, we need to find the slope of the line

The formula for the slope can be written as $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , where $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are points

We have everything we need to find the slope, but let's label the points to avoid confusion

$x_1=6\\y_1=0\\x_2=0\\y_2=-5$

Now substitute these values into the formula

m= $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

m= $\frac{-5-0}{0-6}$

Subtract

m= $\frac{-5}{-6}$

Simplify

m= $\frac{5}{6}$

The slope of the line is 5/6

Let's plug this value into the formula for the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

We substitute 5/6 for m in y=mx+b:
y= $\frac{5}{6}x+b$

Now we need to find b

As stated before, b is the y intercept, which is the value where the line hits the y axis. The value of x at the y intercept is 0.

One of the points we were given is actually the y intercept; that point is (0, -5); notice how the value of x in this point is 0

The value of b is the value of y in this point, which is -5 in this case.

Substitute -5 as b in the formula.

$y=\frac{5}{6} x -5$

Hope this helps!

The amount of time Ricardo spends brushing his teeth follows a Normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation. Ric

Papessa [141]

Let $X$ denote the number of minutes spent brushing his teeth, and let $\mu$ be the mean and $\sigma$ the standard deviation for this distribution.

$\mathbb P(X$

The z-score corresponding to this probability is approximately $z=-0.2533$ , which means

$\dfrac{1-\mu}\sigma=-0.2533\iff\mu-0.2533\sigma=1$

Next, (note the sign change)

$\mathbb P(X>2)=0.02\implies\mathbb P(X\le2)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-\mu}\sigma\le\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma\right)=0.98$

The corresponding z-score is approximately $z=2.0538$ , so you have

$\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma=2.0538\iff\mu+2.0538\sigma=2$

Solving the two equations for $\mu$ and $\sigma$ , you'll find that the mean is approximately $\mu=1.1098$ and the standard deviation is approximately $\sigma=0.4334$ .
