Answer: 5 miles

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Jogging West and then North forms a 90° triangle where 3 miles West and 4 miles North are the legs. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

(3)² + (4)² = c²

9 + 16 = c²

25 = c²

√25 = √c²

5 = c

Can someone help me to solve this question sec(x)sin(x)-2sin(x)=0 [0,2pi) ? ASAP!!!!!

BigorU [14]

Answer:

x = 0, π/3, π, 5π/3

Step-by-step explanation:

sec(x)sin(x) - 2sin(x) = 0

factor out sin(x)

sin(x)[sec(x) - 2] = 0

then solve by splitting into two parts:

sin(x) = 0 and sec(x) - 2 = 0

x = 0, π and x = π/3, 5π/3 then plug in to original equation to check

1/4(X-10)=2X+1 <br><br> what is X?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer: $x=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}(x-10)=2x+1$

Distribute 1/4

$\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}(10)=2x+1$

$\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{5}{2}=2x+1$

add 5/2

$\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{5}{2}+\frac{5}{2}=2x+1+\frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{1}{4}x=2x+\frac{1*2+5}{2}$

$\frac{1}{4}x=2x+\frac{2+5}{2}$

$\frac{1}{4}x=2x+\frac{7}{2}$

Subtract 2x

$\frac{1}{4}x-2x=2x-2x+\frac{7}{2}$

$\frac{1}{4}x-2x=\frac{7}{2}$

$\frac{1-2*4}{4}x=\frac{7}{2}$

$\frac{1-8}{4}x=\frac{7}{2}$

$-\frac{7}{4} x=\frac{7}{2}$

Multiply by the negative reciprocal of -7/4 which is basically inverting the fraction -4/7

$(-\frac{4}{7} )-\frac{7}{4} x=\frac{7}{2}(-\frac{4}{7} )$

$x=-\frac{28}{14}\\ x=-2$

Simplify 13 < z +5<br> Solve the inequality for z

lorasvet [3.4K]

<h3>hello!</h3>

First of all, subtract 5 from both sides:-

13-5<z+5-5

13-5<z

8<z

Since 8 is less than z, z is greater than 8:-

$\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{z > 8}}$

Hence, all the numbers greater than 8 will make this inequality true.

Hope everything is clear; if you need any explanation/clarification, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)

Answer:

x = $14\frac{7}{9}$ or 14.78

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines are parallel, therefore, k(18) acts same as g(x)

That means that:

k(18) = g(x)

- 14 = $-\frac{18}{7}x$ + 24

- 14 - 24 = $-\frac{18}{7}x$

- 38 = $-\frac{18}{7}x$

38(7) = 18x

266 = 18x

266 / 18 = x

133 / 9 = x

x = $14\frac{7}{9}$ or 14.78
