Ok, basically if you want to find when both equations are equal just make them equal to each other. 0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40.

From there use algebraic steps to find out what x is ( the break - even point ).

0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40

0.855625x - 4x + 20 = 1.265625x + 6x + 40

-0.41x - 4x + 20 = 6x + 40

-4.41x + 20 = 6x + 40

20 = 10.41x + 40

-20 = 10.41x

-1.92122958694 = x

Rounded to the nearest tenth it's -1.9 = x.

Tell me if I got something wrong :)

It’s phrased very weird, but I believe I have it figured out.

On the map, there distance of the race is 41.9 inches.

So, (41.9)(400) = 16760 feet

The lengths of a rectangle have been measured to the nearest tenth of a centimetre they are 87.3cm and 51.8cm what is the upper

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Area (upper bound) = 4527.7056 cm²

Perimeter (lower bound) = 278 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length and width of the rectangle have been ROUNDED to the nearest tenth. Let's calculate what their actual measurements could be:

LENGTH: rounded to 87.3, actual is between 87.25 and 87.34

87.25 is the lowest number it could be that would round it UP to 87.3

87.34 is the highest number it could be that would round DOWN to 87.3

WIDTH: rounded to 51.8, actual is between 51.75 and 51.84

51.75 is the lowest number it could be that would round it UP to 51.8

51.84 is the highest number it could be that would round DOWN to 51.8

To find the Area of the upper bound, multiply the highest possible length and the highest possible width:

A = 87.34 × 51.84 = 4527.7056

To find the Perimeter of the lower bound, calculate the perimeter using the lowest possible length and the lowest possible width:

P = 2(87.25 + 51.75) = 278

The following lines are ______ 4x + 2y = 10 y = -2x + 15

zmey [24]

Answer:

Parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

4x + 2y = 10 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2y = - 4x + 10 ( divide through by 2 )

y = - 2x + 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

and

y = - 2x + 15 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

• parallel lines have equal slopes

then the 2 lines are parallel

The architects side view drawing of a saltbox-style house shows a post that supports the roof ridge. The support post is 10 ft t

These calculations are based on the drawing of the file enclosed.

There are three right triangles.

From the big right triangle:

a^2 + b^2 = 25^2

From the small right triangle on the left side:

(25-x)^2 + 10^2 = a^2

From the small right triangle on the right side

x^2 +10^2 = b^2

=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = a^2 + b^2

=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

=> 25^2 - 50x + x^2 + 10^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

=> x^2 -50x + 100 =0
