So all of the internal angles of a triangle will add up to 180 degrees.  So if we add all of the expressions given and set them equal to 180, we can solve for x, then solve for each angle...

(2x + 1) + (3x - 3) + 9x = 180
2x + 3x + 9x + 1 - 3 = 180
14x - 2 = 180
14x = 182
x = 13

Now we can substitute 13 into each expression to find the value of each angle...

2x + 1 =
2(13) + 1 =
26 + 1 = 27 degrees

3x - 3 =
3(13) - 3 =
39 - 3 = 36 degrees

9x =
9(13) = 117 degrees

So the 3 angles are 27 degrees, 36 degrees, and 117 degrees.

The smallest is 27 degrees

** Note-- I don't see 27 degrees in the answer choices you gave, so I double checked my math (I didn't find any mistakes).  Please check to see that the question is written correctly (pay close attention to plus and minus signs).

A rocket is fired with an initial vertical velocity of 40 m/s from a launch pad 45 m high, and its height is given by the formul
N76 [4]

Answer:

1) 125 meters

2) For 9 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rocket's height is given by the formula -5t^2+40t+45.

Notice that this is a quadratic.

Part 1)

Since this is a quadratic, the highest height the rocket goes will be the vertex of our quadratic. Remember that the vertex of a quadratic in standard form is:

(-\frac{b}{2a}, f(-\frac{b}{2a}))

So, let's identify our coefficients. The standard quadratic form is:

ax^2+bx+c

Therefore, in this case, our a is -5, b is 40, and c is 45.

So, let's find the x-coordinate of our vertex. Substitute 40 for b and -5 for a. This yields:

x=\frac{-(40)}{2(-5)}

Multiply and reduce. So:

x=-40/-10=4

Now, substitute 4 for t to find the height. So:

-5(4)^2+40(4)+45

Evaluate:

=-5(16)+40(4)+45

Multiply and add:

=-80+160+45=125\text{ meters}

Therefore, the highest the rocket goes up is 125 meters.

Part 2)

To find out for how much time the rocket is in the air, we can think about after how many seconds after launch will the rocket land.

If the rocket lands, the height h will be 0. So, we can set our expression equal to 0 and solve for t:

-5t^2+40t+45=0

First, let's divide everything by -5. This yields:

t^2-8t-9=0

We can factor:

(t+1)(t-9)=0

Zero Product Property:

t+1=0\text{ or } t-9=0

Solve for t:

t=-1\text{ or } t=9

In this case, since t is our time in seconds, -1 seconds does not make sense. So, we can remove -1 from our solution set.

Therefore, 9 seconds after launch, the rocket will touch the ground.

Therefore, the rocket was in the air for 9 seconds.

And we're done!

Please answer this math question.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The technical probability of rolling any number on a standard die is 1/6 because there's six numbers. Based on that, since he rolled a "4" on 5 tosses, it seems likely that it's 30 times, because 1/6 of 30 is 5. I haven't done probability in awhile but if I remember correctly that should be right

What is the volume of the composite figure? Explain your work. A complete answer should include how you broke up the figure, whi
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

15,000\:\mathrm{mm^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The composite figure consists of a square prism and a trapezoidal prism. By adding the volume of each, we obtain the volume of the composite figure.

The volume of the square prism is given by V=s^2\cdot h, where s is the base length and h is the height. Substituting given values, we have: V=14^2\cdot 30=196\cdot 30=5,880\:\mathrm{mm^3}

The volume of a trapezoidal prism is given by V=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot l\cdot h, where b_1 and b_2 are bases of the trapezoid, l is the length of the height of the trapezoid and h is the height. This may look very confusing, but to break it down, we're finding the area of the trapezoid (base) and multiplying it by the height. The area of a trapezoid is given by the average of the bases (\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}) multiplied by the trapezoid's height (l).

Substituting given values, we get:

V=\frac{14+24}{2}\cdot (30-14)\cdot 30,\\V=19\cdot 16\cdot 30=9,120\:\mathrm{mm^3}}

Therefore, the total volume of the composite figure is 5,880+9,120=\boxed{15,000\:\mathrm{mm^3}} (ah, perfect)

Alternatively, we can break the figure into a larger square prism and a triangular prism to verify the same answer:

V=30^2\cdot 14+\frac{1}{2}\cdot10\cdot 16\cdot 30=\boxed{15,000\:\mathrm{mm^3}}\checkmark
