You can write a proportion because the two triangles are similar

\frac{x}{x-2} = \frac{x + x + 5}{x + 1 + x - 2} (the second fraction is longer because I added the full lengths of the larger triangle)  cross multiply to get (x)(x + 1 + x - 2) = (x - 2)(x + x + 5)

which simplifies to (x)(2x - 1) = (x - 2)(2x + 5)

then 2x² - x = 2x² + 5x -4x - 10

then 2x² - x = 2x² + x - 10

then 2x² = 2x² + 2x - 10

subtract 2x² from both sides to get 0 = 2x - 10

add 10 to both sides to get 10 = 2x

divide both sides by 2 to get 5 = x

What is the value of z?
UNO [17]

Answer:

z =23

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees.

62+95+z = 180

Combine like terms

157 +z = 180

Subtract 157 from each side

157-157 +z = 180-157

z =23

A carpenter has a rectangular wooden board. The diagonal of the board is 18 inches long and one side of the board is 12 inches l
BaLLatris [955]

In this question, it is given that the diagonal of the board is 18 inches long and one side of the board is 12 inches long.

Let the other side is of length b inches .

Now we use pythagorean identity, which is

a^2 + b ^2 = c^2

Here, a = 12 and c=18

Substituting these values, we will get

12^2 + b^2 = 18^2 \\ 144 + b ^2 = 324 \\ b^2 = 324-144 \\ b^2 = 180 \\ b= \sqrt{180} \\ b = 13.4164 inches

And the formula of perimeter is

Perimeter = 2(Sum\ of \ legs)

Substituting the values of the two legs, we will get

Perimeter = 2(12+13.4164) = 50.83 inches

The perimeter of a rectangular pool is 326 M if the length of the pool is 87 M what is its width​
sveta [45]

Half the perimeter is equal to the length plus the width.

326 /2 = 163

Length + width = 163

87 + width = 163

Width = 163 - 87

Width = 76 meters

Please. Answer Fast! Use composition to determine if G(x) or H(x) is the inverse of F(x) for the
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

A. H(x) is an inverse of F(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are:

F(x)=\sqrt{x-2}

G(x)=(x-2)^2

H(x)=x^2+2

We compose F(x) and G(x) to get:

(F\circ G)(x)=F(G(x))

(F\circ G)(x)=F((x-2)^2)

(F\circ G)(x)=\sqrt{(x-2)^2-2}

(F\circ G)(x)=\sqrt{x^2-4x+4-2}

(F\circ G)(x)=\sqrt{x^2-4x+2}

(F\circ G)(x)\ne x

Hence G(x) is not an inverse of F(x).

We now compose H(x) and G(x).

(F\circ H)(x)=F(H(x))

(F\circ H)(x)=F(x^2+2)

(F\circ H)(x)=\sqrt{x^2+2-2}

We simplify to get:

(F\circ H)(x)=\sqrt{x^2}

(F\circ H)(x)=x

Since (F\circ H)(x)=x, H(x) is an inverse of F(x)

Find the maximum and minimum values of the function f(x,y)=2x2+3y2−4x−5 on the domain x2+y2≤100. The maximum value of f(x,y) is:
ryzh [129]

First find the critical points of <em>f</em> :

f(x,y)=2x^2+3y^2-4x-5=2(x-1)^2+3y^2-7

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2(x-1)=0\implies x=1

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=6y=0\implies y=0

so the point (1, 0) is the only critical point, at which we have

f(1,0)=-7

Next check for critical points along the boundary, which can be found by converting to polar coordinates:

f(x,y)=f(10\cos t,10\sin t)=g(t)=295-40\cos t-100\cos^2t

Find the critical points of <em>g</em> :

\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dt}=40\sin t+200\sin t\cos t=40\sin t(1+5\cos t)=0

\implies\sin t=0\text{ OR }1+5\cos t=0

\implies t=n\pi\text{ OR }t=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)+2n\pi\text{ OR }t=-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)+2n\pi

where <em>n</em> is any integer. We get 4 critical points in the interval [0, 2π) at

t=0\implies f(10,0)=155

t=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)\implies f(-2,4\sqrt6)=299

t=\pi\implies f(-10,0)=235

t=2\pi-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)\implies f(-2,-4\sqrt6)=299

So <em>f</em> has a minimum of -7 and a maximum of 299.
