In the construction of the circumcenter, why do you only need to construct two perpendicular bisectors, and not all three?

1 answer:

7 0

We know that the Circumcenter is the intersection of a triangle's right (perpendicular) bisectors. Once you have found two of these you can determine their point of intersection.

It is a proven mathematical concept that the third perpendicular bisector will also cross through this intersection point. While it is not necessary to construct all three it is often done so to verify that the intersection of the first two perpendicular bisectors was in fact correct.

Find the x-values that are solutions of the equation 5cot^2x-15=0

julia-pushkina [17]

First solve for the trig function 'cot'
$cot^2 x = \frac{15}{5} = 3$

Next take the sqrt of both sides (include plus/minus)
$cot x = \pm \sqrt{3}$

Now take reciprocal of both sides, this will change trig function to 'tan'
(cot = 1/tan)

$tan x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Finally use the unit circle or inverse tan on your calculator to find x.
There will be 4 solutions, one for each quadrant.

$x = \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}, \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}$

You deposit $1,500 in an account earning 2.75% simple interest. How long will it take for the

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

12 years if interest is paid yearly

12 months if interest is paid monthly

Step-by-step explanation:

2.75% of $1500 is $41.25 interest per period

$1995-$1500 = $495 total interest

$495 ÷ $41.25 = 12 periods

Therefore it takes 12 interest periods to reach $1995, so the answer is 12 months or 12 years depending on how often interest is paid.
