Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythagoras theorem which says the square root of the sum of the square of the opposite side and the square of the adjacent side would give the value of the hypotenuse

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

i dont have the square root symbol but u can solve it either way :

you can input the values given and then collect like terms or u can take the square root of the right side. The right angle would always face the hypotenuse which is the longest side.

hyp = x

x^2=(5)^2 +(12)^2

x^2= 25 +144

x^2=169

take the square of both sides to get your value for x

x= 13

<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>13</h3>

$solution \\ hypotenuse = x \\ base = 12 \\ perpendicular = 5 \\ using \: pythagoras \: theorem \\ {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ or \: {x}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {12}^{2} \\ or \: {x}^{2} = 25 + 144 \\ or \: {x}^{2} = 169 \\ or \: x = \sqrt{169} \\ x = 13 \\$

hope it helps....

Good luck on your assignment

Cruz's Frame shop makes. a mat by cutting out the inside of a rectangular mat board. Find the length and width of the original m

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

length = 23 inches ; width = 18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length and width can be found from the following expression after solving for x. The expression is given by :

outside area - inside area = 148 square inches

(2·x - 1)·(x + 6) - (2·x - 5)·(x + 2) = 148 (On substitute length and width expressions. Each area is the product of length and width.)

⇒ 2·x² + 11·x - 6 - (2·x² - x - 10) = 148

⇒ 12·x + 4 = 148 .................(On simplifying the expression)

⇒ 12·x = 144

⇒ x = 12

Then the original length of the mat is given by substituting value of x in outside length expression :

2·x - 1 = 2·12 - 1 = 23 inches

and the original width of the mat is given by :

x + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 inches

Hence, the overall dimensions of the original mat are 23 inches by 18 inches.

Several ordered pairs from a continuous exponential function are shown in the table.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The domain is {x : x ∈ R} , the range is {y : y > 0}

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The general form of the continuous exponential function is

$y=a(e)^{kx}$ where a is the initial value and k is the growth factor

- We have some ordered pairs from the continuous exponential

function

- The ordered pairs are:

(0 , 4) , (1 , 5) , (2 , 6.25) , (3 , 7.8125)

- Lets substitute the values of x and y in the equation to find a , $e^{k}$

∵ $y=a(e)^{kx}$

∵ x = 0 and y = 4 ⇒ 1st ordered pair

- Substitute x and y in the equation

∴ $4=a(e)^{k(0)}$

∴ $4=a(e)^{0}$

- The value of $e^{0}$ = 1

∴ a = 4

- Substitute the value of a in the equation

∴ $y=4(e)^{kx}$

∵ x = 1 and y = 5 ⇒ 1st ordered pair

- Substitute x and y in the equation

∴ $5=4(e)^{k(1)}$

∴ $5=4(e)^{k}$

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ $e^{k}$ = 1.25

- Substitute the value of $e^{k}$ in the equation

∴ $y=4(1.25)^{x}$

- The domain of the function is all the values of x which make the

function defines

- The range is the values of y corresponding to x

∵ There is no value of x makes the function undefined

∴ The domain is all real numbers

∵ y never takes a negative value

∴ The range is all the real positive numbers

* The domain is {x : x ∈ R} , the range is {y : y > 0}

Two cars are traveling in the same direction. The first car is going 40 mi/h and the second car is going 55 mi/h. The first car

dexar [7]

Answer:

The equation you are asking for is

40*(t+3) = 55*t,

where t is the time counted after the second car started.

The equation says that the distance covered by each car from the starting point to the catching point is the same for both cars.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

No, it is not a representative sample

Step-by-step explanation:

The sampling technique used above is more of a random sampling than a representative sampling. Reason is that;

A representative sample is referred to as a group or set selected from a larger population that satisfactorily represent the population in study in accordance to whatever criteria is under study.

The criteria could be age, sex, class, etc.

Another reason why it can't be considered as a representative sample is that, using representative sampling makes sure that all relevant types of people are included in your sample and that the right mix of people are interviewed.

In the question above, anybody can submit his or choice and number of submissions is not limited.
