Mathematics

Given:

JK is tangent to a circle with center H

To find:

The length of HK.

Solution:

The image is attached below.

JK = 8 mi, HJ = 15 mi

JK is tangent to a circle.

The tangent is always perpendicular to the radius.

Therefore, m∠J = 90°

Using Pythagoras theorem:

HK² = JK² + HJ²

HK² = 8² + 15²

HK² = 64 + 225

HK² = 289

HK² = 17²

Taking square root on both sides.

HK = 17

The length of HK is 17 mi.

With tax included, a couch costs $315. What does the couch cost before tax?
Orlov [11]

The $315 cost of the couch after tax, gives the cost before tax, <em>C</em>, as the following equation;

Cost \: before \: tax, \: \:  \mathbf {C} =  \frac{315}{1 + t}

<h3>How can the cost before tax be expressed?</h3>

The cost of the couch with tax = $315

Let, <em>t</em>, represent the tax rate, and let <em>C</em>, represent the cost before tax, we have;

315 = C + C × t

  • 315 = C × (1 + t)

Which gives;

  • The cost of the couch before tax, <em>C </em>= 315/(1 + t)

Mathematically, we have the following equation;

Cost \: before \: tax, \: \:  \mathbf {C} =  \frac{315}{1 + t}

PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST PLEASE 20 POINTS
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

  \begin{cases}3x+12&\text{if }x>-4\\0&\text{if }x=-4\\-3x-12&\text{if }x

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function negates its argument when its argument is negative. The expression 3x+12 will be negative when ...

  3x +12 < 0

  x +4 < 0

  x < -4 . . . . . makes the absolute value function change its argument's sign

Using this fact, we can divide the domain into intervals below -4, at -4, and above -4. The above answer shows the function value in each domain interval.

A car traveling at a constant speed travels 1000 ft in 12 seconds. how long in hours will it take to travel 175 miles?
artcher [175]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3.08 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you're interested in the time in hours.

  175\text{ mi}\times\dfrac{12\text{ s}}{1000\text{ ft}}\times\dfrac{5280\text{ ft}}{1\text{ mi}}\times\dfrac{1\text{ h}}{3600\text{ s}}=\dfrac{175\times12\times5280}{1000\times3600}\text{ h}=\boxed{3.08\text{ h}}

It will take 3.08 hours to travel 175 miles at that speed.

What equation results from completing the squre and then factoring x^2+10=15
nlexa [21]

For this case we must complete squares:

x ^ 2 + 10x = 15

We add the square of half the coefficient of the term "x",

(\frac {b} {2a}) ^ 2 on both sides of the equation:

x^2+10x+(\frac {10} {2 (1)}) ^ 2 = 25 + 15\\x ^ 2 + 10x + 5 ^ 2 = 25 + 15

According to the perfect square trinomial we have:

(a + b) ^ 2 = a ^2 + 2ab + b ^ 2

Rewriting the expression we have:

a = x\\b = 5\\(x + 5) ^ 2 = 25 + 15\\(x + 5) ^ 2 = 40

ANswer:

(x + 5) ^ 2 = 40
