Find the value of X.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alja [10]2 years ago
7 0

I used a somewhat unorthodox method for this but here goes...

First find the bottom left angle of the triangle which equals 180 - 108 because they are a linear pair and linear pairs always add to equal 180 degrees.  

Next I used the postulate that states "If two parralel lines are cut by a transversal, then there alternate interior angles are congruent".  The bottom right exterior angle of this triangle equals 4x, which means the other side of the transversal equals 4x as well.  I also know the exterior on the left side of the triangle excluding the vertex (x) equals 72, which we figured out in the first step.

4x = 72 + x

Next subtract x from both sides.

3x = 72

Then divide both sides by 3.

3/3 x = 72/3

And there's your answer.

x = 24

Hope this helps, sorry if it was a little confusing.

Y'all I am struggling Use the following functions to find each value below. f(x)=5x; g(x)=−2x+1; h(x)=x2+6x+8
Anni [7]

Answer:

see below the first three problems

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(-2))

First, find g(-2) using function g(x). Then use that value as input for function f(x).

g(x) = -2x + 1

g(-2) = -2(-2) + 1

g(-2) = 5

f(x) = 5x

f(5) = 5(5)

f(5) = 25

f(g(-2)) = 25

g(h(3))

First, find h(3) using function h(x). Then use that value as input for function g(x).

h(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8

h(3) = 3^2 + 6(3) + 8 = 9 + 18 + 8

h(3) = 35

g(x) = -2x + 1

g(35) = -2(35) + 1 = -70 + 1

g(35) = -69

g(h(3)) = -69

f(g(3a))

First, find g(3a) using function g(x). Then use that value as input for function f(x).

g(x) = -2x + 1

g(3a) = -2(3a) + 1

g(3a) = -6a + 1

f(x) = 5x

f(-6a + 1) = 5(-6a + 1)

f(-6a + 1) = -30a + 5

f(g(3a)) = -30a + 5

Does a shape with a right angle always have perpendicular sides? Explain
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle means that the lines will create an L or X or T when they intersect. This is exactly the definition of perpendicular, that the shapes will intersect and create at least one right angle.
