A number decreased by 7 is at most 13

What is the value of x in the figure above? ^^

Zielflug [23.3K]

First solve for the other angles.
You know one angle is 15º.
The one across from it is also 15º since it is a vertical angle to the known 15º angle.
Both of those together gets 30º.
The whole thing is 360º, so just subtract 30 from 360 and divide.
360 - 30 = 330
Do the same for the 15x angle.
The one under/across to it is a vertical angle so is also 15xº.
Now you are left with 30xº = 330.
Just divide now.
330 / 30 = 11
x = 11
15x = 165

Checking your work:
15x = 165
15x = 165
15
15
Those are the angles.
Add those numbers together and make sure it adds up to 360º.
165 + 165 + 15 + 15 = 360
So this is correct.

If x+a is a factor of 2x²+2ax+5x+10,find a.

vazorg [7]

If $x+a$ is a factor of the polynomial, it means that $-a$ is a root of the polynomial.

In fact, if a polynomial $p(x)$ has a root $x_0$ (i.e. $p(x_0)=0$ ), then the polynomial is divisible by $(x-x_0)$

In your case, you know that the polynomial is divisible by $(x+a)=(x-(-a))$ , so $-a$ is a solution.

Let's evaluate $p(-a)$ and set it to zero:

$2(-a)^2+2a(-a)+5(-a)+10 = 0 \iff 2a^2-2a^2-5a+10=0 \iff -5a+10 = 0 \iff a = 2$

We can check the answer: if $a=2$ the polynomial becomes

$2x^2+2(2)x+5x+10 = 2x^2+9x+10$

And we're claiming that $-a=-2$ is a root of this polynomial:

$2(-2)^2+9(-2)+10 = 2\cdot 4 - 18 + 10 = 0$

John paid $50 for renting a cycle for 5 hours. Which graph shows the relationship between the cost of renting a cycle for differ

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Graph A <==

Step-by-step explanation:

$ 50 for 5 hours......50/5 = 10...thats $ 10 per hr

so the equation would be : y = 10x...with x being the number of hrs and y being the total cost.

So ur x axis will be the hours and your y axis will be the total cost.

so ur answer is :the title of the graph is cycle renting. the x axis (the horizontal axis)...since it is the hours, will be labeled 0,1,2,3,4,5,6

the y axis (the vertical axis)...since it is the total cost, will be labeled

0,10,20,30,40,50,60. points are plotted on (1,10),(2,20), and (3,30)

Can you help me on question six?!

Amanda [17]

Answer: A (1:2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 12 puppies total and 8 of the puppies are yellow labs, there must be 12 - 8 = 4 black labs. Now, the ratio of black labs to yellow labs is 4:8 because there are 4 black labs and 8 yellow labs. However, we can simplify this ratio by dividing the entire ratio by 4. In this case, we would get (4/4):(8/4), which simplifies to 1:2, which is the answer.
