Answer:

Base 12m Height 5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle formula A=1/2bh

30=1/2(x)(x-7)

2*30 = 1/2(x)(x-7)*2

60 = x^2 -7x

60 - x^2 + 7x = 0

-60 + x^2 -7x = 0

x^2 -7x -60 =0

x^2 + 5x -12x -60 = 0

x(x+5)-12x-60=0

x(x+5)-12(x+5)=0

(x+5)*(x-12)=0

x+5=0

x-12=0

x=-5

x-12=0

x=12

The final answer is: x= 12,5

get rid of the -5 because -5 does not make sense at a height so turn it into 5

Base: 12m

Height 5m

Answer:

Base:12 Height=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Know the formula your using to solve this problem

A=\frac{1}{2} \\ BH

Step 2

Now you look at what you already know

A=\frac{1}{2} \\ B(+7) H(-7)

Step 3

Divide 30 by 1/2

In order to do this you convert \frac{1}{2} \ into a decimal which is 0.5

so now divide 30 by 0.5 which Equals

60  

Step 4

Now Multiply all the numbers that equal 60 until finding a solution where one number is 7 less then the number it's being multiplied by

Solution=12 * 5=60

Step 5

Now you that you have you solution you plug this into the formula to find the area

A=\frac{1}{2} \ B(12)H(5) note: It is easier to write 0.5 in place of \frac{1}{2} \ because it will make it easier for you to solve this problem.

Step 6

Now you have everything needed to solve

A=0.5 * 60

A=30m² Base=12 Height =5

Given f(x)=x3 and g(x)= 1-5x2, fine (fog)(x) and it’s Domain
andre [41]

Answer:

Option B. f(g(x)) = (1-5x ^ 2) ^ 3  all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

f(x) = x ^ 3 and g(x) = 1-5x ^ 2

They ask us to find

(fog)(x) and it's Domain

To solve this problem we must introduce the function g(x) within the function f(x)

That is, we must do f(g(x)).

So, we have:

f(x) = x ^ 3

g(x) = 1-5x ^ 2

Then:

f(g(x)) = (1-5x ^ 2) ^ 3

The domain of the function f(g(x)) is the range of the function g(x) = 1-5x ^ 2.

Since the domain and range of g(x) are all real numbers then the domain of f(g(x)) are all real numbers

Therefore the correct answer is the option b: f(g(x)) = (1-5x ^ 2) ^ 3

And his domain is all real.

A certain backpack costs $22, and there is 4% sales tax. What is one way to determine what the amount of sales tax will be? Sele
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

$0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

cost per 1% = 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22

⇒ cost of 4% = 4 x 0.22 = 0.88

Or

4% = 4/100 = 0.04

⇒ 4% of 22 = 0.04 x 22 = 0.88

Solve for x: x^2 + 14x + 49
Kaylis [27]

Answer: -7twice

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question on root of quadratic equation. The interpretation of the question

x² 14x + 49 is

x² + 14x + 49 = 0.meaning that we are to find two possible values for x that will make the expression equal 0.

We can use any of the methods earlier taught. For the purpose of this class, I am using factorization methods

x² + 14x + 49 = 0

Now, find the product of the first and the last terms, is

x² × 49 = 49ײ

Now find two terms such that their productbis 49x² and their sum equals 14x, the one in the middle.

We have several factors of 49x² but only one will give sum of 14x. Because of the time, I will only go straight to the required factors .

49x² = 7x × 7x and the sum gives 14x the middle terms..

Now we now replace the middle one by the factors and then factorize by grouping.

x² + 14x + 49 = 0

x² + 7x + 7x + 49 = 0

x(x + 7) + 7(x + 7) = 0

(x + 7)(x + 7). = 0

Now to find this value of x,

x + 7 = 0

x. = -7twice.

The root of the equation = -7twice.
