Answer = d

using the 30 - 60 - 90 triangle theorem

side across from the angle

across from angle 30 is x
across from angle 60 is x rad. 3
across from 90 is 2x

BC is across from angle 60
so BC is the x rad 3
set the given measurement equal to it

x sqrt 3 = 5
÷ sqrt 3 ÷ sqrt 3
x = (5/ sqrt 3)
multiply top and bottom by the radical to get rid of the radical in the bottom

x = (5/ sqrt 3) × (sqrt 3/sqrt 3)
x = 5 sqrt 3/ 3

since side BC is x
BC = 5 sqrt 3/ 3

A certain television is advertised as a 53-inch TV (the diagonal length). If the width of

zhenek [66]

The TV is 45 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal length of television = 53 inches

Width of TV = 28 inches

As TV is in rectangular or square shape, a diagonal will form a right triangle

Where,

Diagonal = hypotenuse = c = 53 inches

Width = base = b = 28 inches

Length = perpendicular = a

we will use pythagorean theorem to find the length.

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\a^2+(28)^2=(53)^2\\a^2+784=2809\\a^2=2809-784\\a^2=2025$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{2025}\\a=45$

The TV is 45 inches tall.

I'm confused on how to find x

azamat

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a 45-45-90 triangle, the 2 legs will be the same, meaning that y will also be $\sqrt2$ .

We can then solve for x using the Pythagorean theorem:

$\sqrt2^2+\sqrt2^2=x^2\\2+2=x^2\\4=x^2\\x=2$

Or, we could use a quicker approach: if the triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse will be $\sqrt2$ times the length of 1 leg. It essentially does the same thing; it's just faster so you could save time on tests.

A biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of algae. She writes the fall inclusion to show the radius of the alg

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Part A)

A reasonable domain to plot the growth function is:

$0\leq d \leq 12$

Part B)

The y-intercept represents that when the biologist started her study, the radius of the algae was five millimeters.

Part C)

The average rate of change from d = 4 to d = 11 was about 0.11. This means that from the 4th day to the 11th, the radius of the algae grew, on average, at a rate of 0.11 mm per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the algae f(d) in millimeters after d days is given by the function:

$f(d)=5(1.02)^d$

Part A)

We know that the radius of the algae was approximately 6.34 mm when the biologist concluded her study. To find the reasonable domain, we can substitute 6.34 for f(d) and solve for d. Therefore:

$6.34=5(1.02)^d$

Divide both sides by five:

$(1.02)^d=1.268$

Take the log of both sides with base 1.02:

$\displaystyle d=\log_{1.02}1.268$

Using the Change of Base Property, evaluate for d:

$\displaystyle d=\frac{\log 1.268}{\log 1.02}=11.9903...\approx 12$

So, the biologist concluded her study after 12 days.

Therefore, a reasonable domain to plot the growth function is:

$0\leq d\leq 12$

Part 2)

The y-intercept of the function is when d = 0. Find the y-intercept:

$f(0)=5(1.02)^{(0)}=5(1)=5$

Since d represent the amount of days after the study had begun, the y-intercept represents the radius of the algae on the initial day.

So, when the biologist started her study, the radius of the algae was five millimeters.

Part 3)

To find the average rate of change for a nonlinear function, we find the slope between the two endpoints on the interval.

We want to find the average rate of change of f(d) from d = 4 to d = 11.

Find the endpoints:

$f(4)=5.4121...\text{ and } f(11)=6.2168...$

And find the slope between them:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{f(11)-f(4)}{11-4}=0.1149...\approx 0.11$

Since f(d) measures millimeters and d measures days, this tells us that, on average, the radius of the algae grew by about 0.11 mm per day from the 4th day to the 11th day.
