Because 2.7*0 = 0  and 2.8*0 = 0

He needs to plug in some other value like x = 1

Each of the 2 expressions given is a linear function of the form y = mx + b.
These two fundtions have the same y-intercept:  -5.9, but the slopes of the two lines are different.  In both cases, f(0) = 0 - 5.9, but this does not indicate that 2.7x-5.9 = 2.8x-5.9 in general.

If Ryan were to subst. 1 for x in these two functions, the results would not be identical:  2.7(1) - 5.9 and 2.8(1) - 5.9.

Hope Ryan comes to realize that this test of his will not give him the correct answer.

Hello!

The angle is a right angle, which measures 90°. 

3x + x = 4x

Angle = 4x + 10 = 90

Switch that around

90 - 10 = 4x

90 - 10 = 80

80 = 4x

Divide by 4

\frac{80}{4} =  \frac{4x}{4}]

\framebox{x = 20 \°}

The height of a cone is twice the radius of its base.
amm1812

Answer:

The correct answer is option 1. \frac{2}{3} \pi x^3 cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume, V of a right angled cone is given as:

V = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h ...... (1)

Where, \pi = 3.14

r is the radius of the circular base of the cone.

h is the height of the cone.

We are given that height is twice of the radius of its base.

Let the radius of base = x units

Now, As per the question statement,

The height of cone= 2 \times x units

Putting the values of r, h in equation (1) to find the volume:

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3} \times \pi \times x^{2} \times 2x\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{3}\pi x^{3}

Hence, the correct answer is option 1. \dfrac{2}{3}\pi x^{3} cubic units.

Archy [21]

Answer:

a) \:  - 2x + 4 = 10 \\ 4 = 10 + 2x \\ 4 - 10 = 2x \\  - 6 = 2x \\  \frac{ - 6}{2}  = x \\  - 3 = x \: or \: x =  - 3 \\  \\ b) \:  \frac{3}{4x}  = 2 \\ 3 = 2 \times 4x \\ 3 = 8x \\ x =  \frac{3}{8}  \\ 0.375 = x \:  \: or \: x = 0.375
