Answer:
y=9; z=16
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
k = 1 + sqrt(7/2) or k = 1 - sqrt(7/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for k over the real numbers:
4 k - 10/k = 8
Bring 4 k - 10/k together using the common denominator k:
(2 (2 k^2 - 5))/k = 8
Multiply both sides by k:
2 (2 k^2 - 5) = 8 k
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
4 k^2 - 10 = 8 k
Subtract 8 k from both sides:
4 k^2 - 8 k - 10 = 0
Divide both sides by 4:
k^2 - 2 k - 5/2 = 0
Add 5/2 to both sides:
k^2 - 2 k = 5/2
Add 1 to both sides:
k^2 - 2 k + 1 = 7/2
Write the left hand side as a square:
(k - 1)^2 = 7/2
Take the square root of both sides:
k - 1 = sqrt(7/2) or k - 1 = -sqrt(7/2)
Add 1 to both sides:
k = 1 + sqrt(7/2) or k - 1 = -sqrt(7/2)
Add 1 to both sides:
Answer: k = 1 + sqrt(7/2) or k = 1 - sqrt(7/2)
Answer: b) the tiles are not similar because both SP:SR is 5:4 and MJ:ML is 5:2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given that the tiles are rectangular which implies that they both have a 90° angle.
In order to prove similarity, We need to show that the lengths and widths are proportional.
P Q R S
J K L M
a) PQ : QR JK : LM
w=4 L=5 w=2 w=2
↓
We need Length (not width)
b) SP : SR MJ : ML
L=5 w=4 L=5 w=2
5 : 4 5 : 2
When comparing length to width they do not have the same ratio so the rectangles are not similar.
c) PQ : QR JK : KL
w=4 L=5 w=2 L=5
4 : 5 2 : 5
When comparing width to length they do not have the same ratio so the rectangles are not similar.
d) SR : ML PQ : JK
w=4 w=2 w=4 w=2
↓ ↓
We need Length (not width)
The formula is y=mx+b, m being the slope and b being the y intercept.
So if you simplify your equation, it's 5x+6=y
Slope is 5, y intercept is 6
